Oh So Hero! Dev Preview #36

This development preview will give you a look into new features coming to Oh So Hero!

The game's two developers, Ket & Red, comprise the programming and art/animation sides, respectively.

Here are their updates!

Ket's Update:

Hi everyone! We hope you are doing well~

Red recently completed his work on the Bates game over animations with cleanup help from our supporting animator, Arty. These final Bates animations will be assembled as a short cutscene that plays when you are defeated by Bates, followed by one of several animation loops that are selected randomly. When you win the battle against Bates, it will unlock all game over animations in the gallery so you can view them at any time. This is the plan I’m working towards, and while the upcoming build may not have complete gallery functionality, I will be working to make everything available in the gallery soon.

This is now my top priority! I had previously proposed making a bug fix build, but I decided to skip it so that I could get you these new animations more quickly! Of course, I’ll still be fixing critical bugs. In particular, I would ask for your help if you encounter any soft-lock bugs, such as when defeating Bates. I’d really appreciate sending me error logs. Most bugs currently in the game are accounted for and simply require more development time then I have currently. But this Bates bug is one I cannot reproduce (despite witnessing it during ACFI) so I need those logs! Thank you~

Red's Update:

Hello everyone. I want to share some previews for things to come.

It was originally intended for there to be a Stier x Signal interaction animation in the game. It was brought to our attention that it was missing so we’re going to remedy that soon.

Work is progressing on Nuzzles' assets as well.

But much more on that next time. We still have some cleaning up to do on that front.

Bates’ bonus game over animations are now all completed.

Look forward to seeing them in the next update~

Thank you all for your patience~

Take care everyone!
