Hmm, dunno, just a quick test, torso is a bit off and it's not a dedicated animation yet: Whatyathink? I somehow prefer the older animation... I mean some dude puts up a wonky video with a sidestep in it and now sidestepping is only refered to that?

Looks better, but the way her entire torso turns while her legs stay in place seems kind of wierd. Like her torso is on a rotating base that's detached from her legs. You could probably redesign the character to look like that, actually :p

yeah that is what I ment... thats a common problem with "360°/TankTorso" aiming I guess?!? If you find some reference with a good solution I'd be glad to know.

Make her legs turn around when her torso does? That's about all I can think.
Personally in my overhead games I just make the entire character turn when aiming and firing.

Yeah I'll give it a try tomorrow with backwards animation. And her legs turn in the walking direction when you just aim with the D-Pad, but walking with D-pad or wasd and then Aiming with mouse or analog stick makes it a bit more challengeing, but I'm sure I'll get it cool somehow.

Pimping the moves and visuals...working on releasing a Press-Demo by the end of the month. If anyone is interested on making a Print/Blog preview just PM me what and where and I'll put you on the list. I'd be honoured! My first printed Tooltip will be released in the next issue of MakingGames (the biggest German Game Developer Magazine, yehaa!) by the 26th of April. Thanks to them for that! www.makinggames.de/shopMakingGames AppStoreMakingGames Android version (BETA!)back 2 work...

With those small pixels though it likely wouldn't change much though

Finally got a chance to check out the CAT (character animation tools) within 3dsMax 2013: And I must say they are the first real improvement over the old biped (Character Studio) setup I've been using for years... Rig creation and typical stuff like mirror now all work to my satisfaction, guess I'll be using them more in the future. http://download.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/CAT-how-to-movies/index.html

Yey, I love synths! and I'll be using a lot of FM for the soundtrack. In the vid it is the digital engine of the device But my others are VSTs (NI Massive is a nice software synth that I started with). This device in the video is my current workhorse. If you see it somewhere I recommend you give it a play =)

OK it has been a while, real life had me on hold. Just brought my girl to the airport, she is off to Brazil, won't see her in a while =(
But now I can focus on the Demo release and would like to take this opportunity to ask you all what you would like to see in the Demo?
I was planning to give out the whole first chapter (5 Levels 1 mini boss and a main boss peek)
What do you think? Any input welcome!

Thanks, dude! There are quite a few sweet spots that I haven't shown yet because I want you to experience it in game. But I can say that the game is full of crazy artwork, sounds and secret points of interest... I've increased the tile variations and transitions too... still rambling about what I should show in the demo...
