Update: Small improvements to make Texas more visible.
At last, I finish an animation the same day that I start it. It's been a long while since that's the case.
But this will be what happens if you hit a rock with Butterscotch in front of you. Instead of Nutmeg tripping and landing on Texas, she throws her, right into Butterscotch's backside.
Butterscotch isn't just big, she's gassy. Best not to get caught in any of her blasts.

This took me far too long to get done, but at least I was able to do some background work and some coding after finishing this today.
But yes, this is all three parts of Butterscotch's brake check move put together, i.e. what it will look like in game. Probably back to coding for a bit now, but I might work on another animation next Monday.
Enjoy!
Not animated just yet, but still a lovely little scene

Unsurprisingly, this follows the brake check animation!

Still more to come on this one, but here's the impact!

Caution: Frequently stopping horse.

Ironically, this animation's been a bit of a pain in the ass! But at this point all I have left to do is add a walk animation as Nutmeg moves between the two positions.
Sorry for the most staggered uploads recently, I've been alternating between coding and sprite work, but in addition, these sprites are just taking me longer. Who knew that horses would be hard to animate?
Just a simple one. The behind view won't be in the game for this animation, but since I drew the sprite I figured I could make something extra out of it.
I may reuse that flat sprite for a Butterscotch animation later though...
Silly Texas! You ride the horse, not the other way around!
2020-08-19 04:16:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Sorry for the week of no updates, but I've coded a basic concept version of how I want the level to play. It's buggy as hell, but now that I'm confident in what I want to do with it, and have a decent framework, it's time to get back to some asset generation!
Which probably means starting with some backgrounds and basic obstacles, but I'll try to get to some of the early fail scenes before too long, so we can all enjoy Texas being squished by her own horse! And th...
Three streams for this one, but it's finally done! Now to figure out what I'm doing Friday...

I think this is the longest a single sprite has ever taken me. Two streams, and I still have to finish her tail, and put Roxxie (and April) on her back.
With any luck we'll be done on Wednesday though!
Actually had to edit Nutmeg to give her an extra bone in her forearm, because that's how horses work, apparently. Now just to get Butterscotch moving!

Roxxie and Butterscotch definitely have the weight advantage in this fight.

Did you know Roxxie has a horse? Well Roxxie has a horse, and as you'd expect, she's a little bigger than your normal breed.

Well there we go. Texas has a horse now, and her name is Nutmeg. This is also the first horse I have ever drawn, so she may get some retouching on Monday. Not entirely happy with her at the moment, but happy enough that she could make it into the game as is.
2020-07-24 03:21:45 +0000 UTC View PostWell, with the release of level three, I'm going to take a short break from streaming to avoid burnout, and start doing some planning for level four, as well as working on a few side projects. I will be back to streaming on Wednesday the 22nd, so until then, enjoy the game and stay safe!

Updated the game files with some bug fixes and (very) small quality of life improvements.
VERY IMPORTANTLY, if you could play the pre-update level 3 demo, but are having trouble running this one, please let me know. I've changed to a different vertex buffer method, which may reduce lag and load times, but may also be less compatible with older GPUs (or integrated chipsets, for laptops). So I want to see how much of an issue that might be for people, and which method I want to use goin...
Since I've got a sprite of Jiggly now, I figured why not do a little animation with her, since I had time today! Enjoy!
This will not be in the game, by the way, I just did this for fun.
Hey Everyone!
Progress on the game is just good, and level three is just about ready for release. I just need to fix the reported bugs, do some final bugtesting and re-balancing, and want to add Kaze's Jiggly in as a background cameo. If all goes well, we could well be looking at the public release being out as early as next week!
Just as a quick side-note though, as it's been happening a bit recently: Please don't message me on Discord with questions about the game. Those patro...
Quickdraw's done, I'm nearly done with all the cutscenes, and now Jacks has her in-jail sprite! We're getting close to the next public release, but there's still a few fiddly little jobs that need to be done first, as well as the bugfixing from the last demo.
2020-07-01 04:49:38 +0000 UTC View PostI'm afraid the game over sequence has taken me longer than anticipated, so I'll have to use tomorrow's stream slot to work on it as well. I just need to do the game over screen at this point. I've finished the countdown part of the sequence, and I am very happy with it. It's something I've been wanting to do with Texas for a while, and I think it's come out rather nicely.
In any case, thank you for your patience, everyone. We should be back to the normal stream schedule next week.&nbs...
Hi everyone,
Just letting you know there'll be no stream tomorrow, and no art or animation uploaded either. I'll be working offline to get the game over screen done in secret, as usual. Then hopefully on Friday it'll be back to coding, and starting to put things together for the final release!
Thank you all,

That bunny's always got something up her sleeve, but Tex isn't falling for it this time!
Feels good to animate a butt-squash again.

A little boring, but very necessary to the overall completion of the game. I've also written 90% of Jacks's dialogue, and have begun work on another Caramel animation, which I'm hoping to finish Monday!
2020-06-19 02:55:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Back to work for me! And here's the fruit of that work. Jacks's quickdraw sprites all done: neutral, win and lose. Just need to do Texas's half of this, as well as the gameover screen, and I can start putting together the functional quickdraw minigame!
