More horse animation! This time with the western boss, Annie Oaktree, mounted and focused!

Not much to share at the moment I'm afraid. I'm neck deep in some pretty complex cutscene animation; however, here's a peek!

<3 i don't know why—everyone has their quirks—but since i was a kid i always had a "thing" for stories of characters shrinking down and exploring things from that perspective

Me too! I think movies and games like Toy Story and A Bugs Life are to blame! Apologies for the lack of updates, unfortunately my main PC died leaving me with the daunting task of replacing and rebuilding everything. Thankfully nothing was lost and I'm now back to it! - Always have backups kids! I wonder how many references you'll spot!

"Bunny, I shrunk the chimp" haha that's awesome! XD I love stuff where you get to be tiny and see things from an "ant's eye view" as well. What a good idea for a training level! I really appreciate the details like the power cords. Also it's really cool being able to see what's outside the window and also into the kitchen. Nice figurines in the cabinet back there too! And of course those classic games on the shelf. I really loved that classic "Spiral the Dinosaur" you know it still holds up really well to this day! I've been keeping an eye on this one but don't think I posted before. But this looks like such a fun game, up there with "Jeff and Dexter" and "Socket and Clunk"

Thanks very much swordofkings128! I agree about the ants eye view, it's always and interesting way to look at the world!
Thanks to a recent hardware upgrade, I can finally show off some decent quality footage!

Yeah, nicely done. Shame we don't get to see what happens to the bad guy though, we need closure!

Gotta leave something for the game! Likely the bad guy is a boss. If that is the case then it wouldn't be that easy beat him in a few seconds.

Thanks guys! Have no fear, you'll have closure either when you manage to stop the runaway train, or when you fail... Here's a quick preview of Baroness Samedice's boss battle!

The blurred background works REALLY nicely. It's the kind of thing that makes platformers distinct from old vs. new.
Great work! Also, agreed...the cutscene is wonderful.

Thanks! It's fake DOF (just a gaussian blurred skybox). I've been back to Corsair's Cove over the last couple of weeks. It feels pretty good to be actually finishing off levels one-by-one. I have had the double edged sword of Mario Odyssey to contend with though (both as inspiration and a distraction!). The focus of my work on the exterior section of Corsair's is to make sure there's plenty of room for creativity when it comes to movement. I want to achieve a feeling that you can go to any number of places from wherever you are in the level. This serves as a mini-sandbox which is a nice contrast to some of the more linear sections of the game. I've also been working on further animation polish. Including both an added long-jump animation to telegraph that your trajectory is different when sprinting, and some updates to the pole climbing mechanic.

Apparently I missed the finished cutscene! It's really nice, but it kinda sounds like farting noises when the sheep hits the pole and right before Annie jumps off the train and onto the horse, which I feel is a little below the level of this game… I'm guessing that's not actually what they were meant to be, but might want to consider changing them anyways because that's all I can hear.

Glad you like it. Although I'm afraid your ears didn't deceive you! When I showed a test audience the animation without the fart noise, they were immediately asking if Annie had killed the sheep! So the fart noise was added as both a means of highlighting that it wasn't dead and also in an effort to lighten the tone a little.

Won't try and convince you if that's what you intended then, but if the only concern is to clarify that the sheep isn't dead, perhaps the good old stars/birds above the head might work. c: Why do I also hear the noise as Annie jumps off of the train onto the horse tho?
