Pretty much. We could have a charging animation for the nuke though.

We need a charging animation for the nuke. And then she will be done!

As an aside, Nikujin only needs two more animations (flip slash and staff spin) before he is done, too.

Depending on how things go, there could be five completed characters in the next release.

[Winterous]

I think a sweet charging animation for the Nuke would basically be her gun glowing blue.
I mean, having a glow at the end of the gun would seem silly, because she's not exactly shooting anything, just expelling death.

[Winterous]

Aah, that works too!
...
In fact, that's better than my idea.

[Soulliard]

  IJI IS FINISHED!

[Thewaether]

 

[NickCarney]

Yay, so do you know when the next build will be released? 

[Soulliard]

Some time this weekend. My winter break begins on Saturday, and it will only take a few hours to wrap everything up.

[NickCarney]

I don't know if i can wait that long 

Are there going to be any new stages in it?

[Soulliard]

It's unlikely. I may release another version shortly afterwords. The Rescue the Beagles, Knytt, Untitled Story and Seiklus stages are all complete enough that you might see them in WIP form sometime soon.

[NickCarney]

So this update will only have Iji and the tigbox?

[Blaizer]

Don't forget that the Velocithor still needs an edit. The Shocksplinter also needs those decorative sparkles.

Iji is not yet done guys...

Iji is not yet done guys...

Shhh... they don't know yet.
Seriously, though, they're just minor details, and most likely 70% of people playing won't even notice them, unless they're fooling around with attacks. I'm usually the one to nitpick about things like this, but this time, just let the people be happy something is done. Being done is a state that is achieved way too seldom.

[Poor Lazlo]

The Shocksplinter also needs those decorative sparkles.

Goshdarnit if I don't keep reading "Shocksphincter".

So this update will only have Iji and the tigbox?

Among a short list of changes-
-Added Lyle
-Characters have been rebalanced
-Some characters have new move lists (Iji)
-Added all the new character animations
-Changed the jumping physics and modified nearly every aerial attack in order to make the controls feel less stiff.
-Changed the knockback calculations
-Added an option that removes health bars, so you can only win through knocking your opponent off the stage
-Added handicaps
-Characters generally move faster
-Added the TIGBox and several other new items
-Added a priority system
-Other stuff I probably can't remember

Iji is not yet done guys...

Sure she is. She doesn't need any of the stuff you suggested. She has all necessary code, animations and sounds. We could lock this thread today and never work on Iji again, and she would be fine.

Now, if you would like to add more, that's fine (and I would encourage it), but that's just modifying an already finished character.

[Veo]

 Actually she really is not done she doesn't have an Idle

[Soulliard]

...

You're right.

Still not gonna change the title though. 

[shig]

She's done for a first release, but I'm sure we'll want to change/add stuff when we begin working on PERFECT WORLD EDITION.

For example, making slightly edited sprites for aerial attacks instead of using the standing ones.

[Soulliard]

That's the idea. There's always room for improvement, especially for a newly released character, but everything we need is accounted for.
