Thanks guys!

@DanDecarlo - yeah. More Fx and decorative objects are coming. Right now I want to focus on enemy animations and a bit of flare here and there. You know, muzzle flashes and particles.

@NoobsArePeople2 - I think I over did the swinging arm. Will put it on the to-tweak-list.

Animating one of these today. Not sure which one. Thank lord for spine. That way I can animate any of them and then change the art. Not to much though, everything has to be in the same place. Decisions decisions... 

[JoeManaco]

Wow. You're game looks awesome. Loving the art style.

[migrafael]

Thanks! Glad you like it :D

Here are those concepts with some ruff animations made in spine. Doing a 4 legged animal without IK locking is pretty tough. Hope they add it in the new version. 

Walking about


Who's that?!?


Run attack!

Really like the art!

I think maybe one way to improve the forward shooting animation is to put both his hands on the gun... unless you are reserving his other hand for something else. I agree that the "looking back" while shooting animation looks fine.

Also some recoil would help a lot. I realize the gun is automatic so it's firing very fast, but you could add just a tiny bit of kick back to his arm/wrist to show the gun has some firing power. Right now it's just like he's spraying a water hose.

Also having him use both hands on the gun would strengthen the appearance that the gun is powerful. When it comes to shooting guns, it's all about the full experience of firing a powerful weapon. Even if the gun is like the dinky basic gun you get by default.

Wow, that's pretty detailed feedback thanks! Both hands on the gun? I was afraid it my cover his face to much. It's definitively easier to get just that one arm rotating towards the mouse cursor. So its both laziness and artistry that keeps both hand off the gun

I'll be adding a muzzle flash soon to give it more kick. Actual kickback on the arm should be pretty easy to add. Going to put that one under the "polish" section in our todo list :D

Really like the art!

Thanks man. Nothing beats those heads of yours but I try.

Now in color. Added color for the player. Also darkened the tiles. Like the browns hate the greens. Teed to make the top a lighter tone.


Roll to evade enemies


Run and shoot anywhere


Scream your lungs out


Tomorrow I'll start adding decorations to the atlas so I can decorate future levels.

[migrafael]

Been doing some decorations to make the levels a little  (just a little) less boring.







Now I need to focus on gameplay stuff and some polish like enemy animations. Make this thing playable and fun by the end of January if all goes well.

What do you all think? Feedback welcomed

[migrafael]

Did a timelapse video of me animating the big lizard in spine. Maybe some of you will find it interesting. Considering doing some tutorials on it as well. Just for kicks.

[migrafael]

Needed a bouncing enemy to cut the player's vertical freedom. Doing these RIGHT NOW! What do you think?



Going to make smaller versions of this beast as well.

[migrafael]

It's been 3 weeks since the last update. I've moved out and into Afonso's apartment for the time being so Tio Atum is now living together.

Living and working together! What can go wrong? 

Here's a gif of a new enemy (WIP art). We are adding a bunch of new enemies and other gameplay related stuff that I'll be showing soon.



Notice that the little guys run away when you scream!

[NoobsArePeople2]

Digging the stream of bullets. Looks really great!

[karlozalb]

Those monsters are amazing 

[migrafael]

Those monsters are amazing 

Thanks! It really means a lot to me. Always a bit scared since I've never done anything quite like it.

Digging the stream of bullets. Looks really great!

Hehehehe, you ain't seen nothing yet! This is going to be insane!

Now for some updates. We've been adding a bunch of enemies. 11 total! We're still tweaking a ton of stuff and they're all in placeholder art. I'll be showing them throughout the coming week for sure.

Here's a quick peek at one of them, the Flying Armored Eggplant! Deadly!!



There's really a lot of stuff to show, I just didn't have the time to screencap it all.

Oh by the way, really happy with Tio Atum reaching 2000 followers on facebook before 2014 :D

[migrafael]

Today I'll be coloring these and maybe animating them.



The first one is a retake on the original walker spitter that I don't like that much anymore. The trumpet makes it look too silly for my taste

[migrafael]

I'm at 120% today. Already got the assets, now for the flying enemies. Will try to work only on art first then animation. Following the advice of a illustrator friend of ours - work in batches to maximize your efficiency - which is hard for me cause I tend to avoid repetitive tasks.

[migrafael]

Wow, the whole day is gone and I only managed to color these. Oh well, at least Afonso got a lot of things done on the programming side of things.



And the dreaded killer flying pears. Full of deadly vitamins.



Welcome us in Berlim

By February we should have a nice demo to take around Europe to show.  We would love to take Greedy Guns to events like A Maze in Berlim or anywhere with a nice community where we can hookup our laptops and work.

New Enemy Animations

Just a quick vine of what I'm doing today. Will get a couple of Gifs going and post later in the day.

[migrafael]

Check out some new animations. What do you think?



Walking. The slight pause is an issue while exporting from spine.



Idle



Death!

Sketches

I've also been sketching a lot. I'll need to increase my skilz before I start making some boss fights, cutscenes and promo material.

Trying to get a mood going


Some facial expressions


I need to work more on creating scenes for my characters. I though having Bob on a hover bike would be nice. Ended up making an off-road Scooter. Not by best idea ever - makes very little sense for the character.
