T.O said, “Pollution Powers, Make up!”, and spun a few times in his room while changing his clothes, and now he looks different.
Oh, also, he was listening to this song on his cassette player, and I think it’s his theme song now.

We’ve been also working on revisiting some other character designs as we translate everyone’s “concept art” into in game sprite equivalents.
Through several lessons we’ve learned while developing our animation pipeline, certain characters needed some modifications to make it easier for animations, and some others just needed to be updated to mesh well with other characters, while also maintaining a sense of uniqueness. It also gave us a change to begin creating final height charts for both sprite and "proper" sizes.
I’ve recently been updating some of the combat design to be a little more accessible, after some internal tests, while also reviewing some movesets, we designed and implemented.
We’re working to adjust several attacks and combos and trying to make sure Breeze’s weather abilities are versatile. We’ve had to update our animation process a little bit to allow for having a way to test out attacks before moving them deeper into the animation pipeline.
From the game play side of things, we're near the finish line of a minimum viable playthrough of several core gameplay features that also incorporate tests and exports of real animations and backgrounds! This pretty much means many features are functioning in at least the most basic level of written requirements.
There’s still a lot to go, but this really gives us a more solid foundation to build from for many things to come! We've got another milestone deadline coming up in a few weeks, but things are going smoothly otherwise!
