Will it be acidic rain that eats holes in rusty metal buildings?

If that were the case, there'd be no buildings left by the time Bawkins gets out of the lab. |

AIR COMBOS? Physics are fun. Stage one of getting things to mesh up perfectly for air combos is complete. The next step will be to add some effects and timed freezes to emphasize the sheer awesomeness of your air combo. Considering a counter, but that's not really the type of game ChickenSword is..... oo a counter effect would be really cool on projectiles, might be too good for any type of attack. Either a reflection or standard animation would both be nice. |

Ability Synchronizing A lot of my physics are guess and check based. When designing combat, my main goal was for players, regardless of which abilities they unlock, would be able to implement them into their combos. For instance, in the pictured gif, you can use dash to catch up to the airslash juggle. There will likely be simpler combos, but this was the one that made me tingle a little bit. Abilities will be categorized as charged abilities (hold attack) and secondary abilities (alt button push). I originally experimented with double-tap, but given modern control mechanisms there really isn't a solid reason to not just map everything to a button. You can have active one charge attack and one secondary ability at once, despite there being a wide multitude of abilities to choose from. Good day. |

Have you thought about putting in some air-fight-hang-momentum ( for lack of a better word ) like in LoK:Defiance or Devil May Cry without overshooting it as the latter? You know, ... just a little freeze in mid-air when you hit stuff

I actually started work on this already. I slow movement every hit and refresh dash for seeking. |

Not Terraria It isn't. Stop asking. One of the most difficult challenges when you make a 2D platformer is making the aesthetic not spawn a thousand questions about if your game will have digging. I believe I have countered this by creating a deeper field of view, similar to games like Castle Crashers. While it takes a bit longer to design a foreground, I think ultimately it will be worth the effort. The real hard part will come when I have to take the same ideas and apply them to interiors. I think ultimately this should result in a far more attractive (looking) game. You be the judge... Also, here's a stupid comic:  |

Looking really great dude. I think this could do quite well if you can maintain this rate for a year or two!  |

Not to devalue the work you've undoubtedly put in marketing-wise, I expect Moonman to overshoot the goal in the next few days. Thanks for the kind words. This has been hard because the last few months I've been 'remembering' how to draw again so I've had to redo a lot of stuff to keep it all on the same level. I should be able to get back into content soon, which is where I want to be. |

You need to add a second character called bacon... Think about it.

I've been watching this devlog for quite a while from the darkness and you've got something really cool going on here! I really like launching that guy in the air and then jumping after him to kill and I like the way that in the world map you are represented by a dot ( and I didn't expect getting killed by the sky in the combat test  , smart move, I was trying to glitch it hahah ) I'm not sure if I'm just not skilled enough but the dash/attack didn't feel so easy to do, is that because of how you changed the attack frames ? Keep up the good work sir!  |

Keep up the good work sir! Nothing is super easy right now, but I'm working on some ways to freeze the physics temporarily during midair combos and facilitate crazier things. Thanks for the kind words though! |

Feelings... Nothing more Today was a big 'feels' day. Thanks to constant criticism from RatCasket, I've added some camera freeze to the game when hits happen. This helps (not much) you plan your next strike in midair craziness. I'm also trying to fine tune the dang directional whacking system so you can predict what an enemy is actually going to do when you whack them directionally... I suppose my next step would be to have ever increasing sound on contact followed by Mike Tyson style star noises when you go over a threshold... because retro. I'll be posting the same updates both here and on my website (chickensword.com) from now on, until I no longer feel like transparency helps the game (when all the updates are is spoilers). Also, bouncy walls...  |
