Conveyor Belt On Map Event - Battle Sprites Progress (Complete)

Update @ 10:25PM CST On 3/13/2021: Finished up the rest of Selena's Sprites during tonight's stream.  With that we have completed all the Battle Sprites for the Conveyor Belt On Map Event.  We'll be working on the On Map Event Images next which shows what is happening to the party now that they've been packed up and ready for being Mana Batteries of various sources.  I'll be creating a new post which will focus on those and will start thumbnailing the images on Tuesday during the stream.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far!  Remember to take care of yourselves and get plenty of rest and hydration!  Until next time!

(Brief Update On 3/11:  Shorter stream due to some scheduled streaming on Twitch tonight.  Got 1 more sprite done for Selena and I am planning on getting the rest finished on Saturday's stream.  I will be streaming on Twitch Sunday to work on the rigging of Ankhrono-Tan's Guildmarm outfit before the release of Monster Hunter Rise on March 26th!)

Update @ 12:45 AM On 3/10/2021:  Got 3 of Selena's Sprites finished up on tonight's stream even with the extremely late start.  I still need to clean up the foam for Part 3 of Selena's sprite as it is just a placeholder for now.  I'll be continuing work on Thursday but the stream will be shorter due to some other scheduled plans so I am hoping to get Selena's Sprites done but may have to finish them up on Saturday.

After that, I need to draw up the thumbnails for the On Map Event images for what is occurring to the party after they are turned into mana batteries.  Since this sequence doesn't lock you into a game over, it'll show  the cybergirls interaction with the new additions along with Selena being released after a certain amount of time passes.  

I do need to finish up rigging Ankhrono-Tan's Guildmarm outfit before Monster Hunter Rise releases on March 26th so I may take some time in the upcoming weeks to get that completed.

In other news, the news about my eye is that it was some sort of high intensity light related injury which should hopefully heal over time.  The current running theory is that I witnessed the intense flash from an exploding/burning out lightbulb that did not have any of the typical coating which dampens some of the light.  Either way, it isn't anything too scary emerging, so that's good.

Be sure to take care of yourselves out there! Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated and all that!  Until next time.

Previous Update On 3/6/2021:  Got the rest of Hemmy's sprites finished up on tonight's stream!  I'll be working on Selena's on Tuesday, though we'll need to see how my eyes are doing after Monday's follow up appointment.  

A quick recap, a small blindspot is showing up in my vision and I'll know more Monday, but that was the reason for no update on Thursday as my eyes were dilated and I couldn't see anything.  So here is hoping it isn't a big deal and we'll be back to drawing lewds on Tuesday!

Be sure to take care of yourself everyone!  Stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and we'll catch ya next time.

(Brief Update: Hello folks! I unfortunately was unable to stream today due to my eyes being dilated from an eye check up.  I am still in the process of determining what it is and won't know more until next week.  Progress may be slow but I am hoping I will be able to stream on Saturday and have another sprite update by then.  Sorry for the delay!  Please remember to take care of yourselves, stay hydrated, and get plenty of rest!  Until next time.

Previous Update On 3/3/2021: Managed to get 3 sprites for Hemmy done on tonight's stream!  Will be continuing work on them during Thursdays stream.  Making steady progress so far! Not too much to write in these updates for now, more later.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and catch ya next time.

Previous Update On 2/28/2021: Finished up another late stream.  Got another 3 sprites finished tonight which completes all of Mira's sprites for the conveyor belt On Map Event.

I'll be working on Hemmy's sprites on Tuesday's stream and hopefully get through more though it seems like 3 per night is about the pace so far.

I hope everyone has a nice rest of their weekend!  Until next time!

Hello Everyone! 

Had a very late running stream tonight and managed to get 3 sprites finished for Mira!  I'll be continuing work on her sprites and then moving onto Hemmy.  Hopefully I'll be able to get Mira's done on Saturday but we'll have to see how progress goes.

Now that these are being completed I created a new post for everything related to the battle sprites. After these are done I believe I will create the 'game over' or afterwards of this On Map Event which will show each party member in their own situation showing where they ended up.  I'm still debating if I'll be programming and releasing a small build including what is done so far but it would probably be done out of context and in a 'debug' room of sorts as the rest of the zone is not quite finished/programmed yet.

Either way, I will be switching how I work on things to focus on one thing at a time rather than trying to get bits and pieces done.  For example, I'll be working on the battle sprites (current work) and then moving on to the Game Over/Images for the event, before finally programming it.  In the past I would create all the battle sprites and then move on to the Game Overs which sometimes created situations where there were gaps or slow downs due to going back to the content I had worked on some time ago.  With this new method I hope to have things sped up a bit more similar to how I've been working on things all the way through rather than bit by bit (Instead of doing lines/base colors on all the sprites, I'm tackling them one at a time).

Anywho, I hope everyone has a nice rest of their week!  Until next time.
