There were a lot of great suggestions on how to finish this one, but in the end I went for simple and cartoony! The timing just really works perfectly for it.
Also, again, ignore the flashing background colours. It's something inherent to gifs that I cannot fix.
I haven't yet decided on an ending for this one, but here's how the kick counter KO is looking so far! Something nice and fourth-wall breaking for the final fight. I'm currently considering whether to have Roxxie just finish it with a gas blast, or whether to have her bounce back off, then either have Texas slide down the screen, or have her peel off 2D. The latter would be... a very difficult effect to pull off, but it's the idea I like the most.
Feel free to suggest any more possibil...
The clean version, for people who aren't into that. Roxxie just flexes her cheeks real hard and out pops the weasel!

Where could that gosh-darn weasel have gotten to!?

And we're back to animation! Starting Roxxie's grabs off with something simple, the end piece of her basic attack combo, the butt-drop. This is the version for if Texas has HP left, but we'll do a KO version on Wednesday, so stay tuned for that!
2021-09-06 01:21:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe first demo of Roxxie's fight, I.E. the one without her grab moves, has been released for $10 patrons! Do let me know if there are any issues as always, but please also note that I will be taking the usual post-demo week off starting on the 28th (this Saturday). I'm intending to use the rest of this week for bug fixing, then taking that break, so get any bug reports in quickly, please!
Sadly the game is only growing in size and becoming more of a resource hog. Due to the version of...
Another Edit: Turns out I broke the entire rest of the game with this update, and no-one noticed until now. It's now fixed though!
Edit: I've uploaded an updated version of the fight, though it really isn't that different from the previous version, with the main changes being:
-April's health no longer regenerates
-The arena's been aligned properly (it was causing an oddly coloured stripe on the left side of the screen)
-Roxxie ca...
Hey everyone!
Just a quick heads up that I won't be streaming on the new Tuesday and Thursday slots this week, as I instead want to use that time to get Roxxie's Game Over sequence done. And as long-time followers may know, I always do them offline to keep it a surprise! This will mean no progress on the Superhero project for this week, but I'm at a point in the project where I need to experiment with coding anyway, something else I want to do offline.
On the progress of the Rox...
This has been a long time coming. Redoing some of Texas's sprites so that they're not so old and clunky!
Left the old ones in for comparison's sake.
Quantum Knight be defeated? Sure, when pigs fall!

Just some sprites of another level 1 enemy for the new project. It just hovers and shoots for the most part.

Did a lot of rather boring/necessary sheep sprites this stream, but this one I thought people might appreciate!
2021-07-27 03:27:33 +0000 UTC View Post
The first enemy of the new project. She is not feeling at all sheepish about taking down a hero!
Sprites from the new project! Posted these on Twitter a few days ago, but will post them here from now on!
2021-07-22 02:12:51 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy y'all!
I've just finished just over three hours of importing Roxxie sprites into Game Maker, so I am good to start coding! Long-time supporters will probably realise then that this is usually accompanied by a drought of content for a little while, as I am not working on sprites during that period, but that drought is always followed by a demo release.
It should be the same this time, though I may upload some of the sprites from the other game project I'm working...
I didn't have anything like this planned, but heck, it wasn't difficult and now Roxxie has a ranged attack!
2021-07-16 03:32:09 +0000 UTC View Post
Just a simple little counterattack for if Roxxie gets knocked down and Tex tries to chase after her.
2021-07-14 00:58:30 +0000 UTC View Post
Take a few hits and Roxxie counters instead! This animation's basically just a recycling of another of Roxxie's attacks, but it's not meant to be anything special. Just kind of the 'average' result for the boxing attack. Basically: Take no hits and Tex counters, Take 1-2 hits and Roxxie counters, take 3-4 hits and Roxxie counters into a unique grab, but that won't be included until after the first demo.
And with that, the current boxing sprites are done! Not much of Roxxie left now un...
What happens if you dodge every attack perfectly? Tex counterattacks! And she is one strong weasel.

Oof. Not as good as last time, Tex...
2021-07-12 03:09:32 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick update regarding how things are going. Roxxie's basic sprites (non-grabs) are very nearly complete! All that's left is the completion of the Boxing Roo sprite, a small bicycle kick, and a leaping butt slam similar to the Leaphog move that Jesse and Jane have. Once that's done I'll be able to start coding and get a basic demo out with the start of Roxxie's fight!
I also wanted to let you know that I will be away for this upcoming week, so there will be no streams or posts g...
More of the QTE. This is what it looks like if you dodge every attack perfectly!
2021-07-02 04:30:56 +0000 UTC View Post
Hard to explain what this'll be in game. But kinda a QTE section with Roxxie. Anyway, this is the lead in, with her just her trying to psych Tex out, and Tex having none of it.

This one doesn't work quite as well without gas...
2021-06-30 02:23:28 +0000 UTC View Post
Fixed up the starting portion to a level I'm happy with, and now have the mid section done as well! Roxxie's putting the deputy to goooooood use. It gets real hard to scratch back there with a butt that big!
2021-06-28 01:27:20 +0000 UTC View Post
This... needs work. It has potential, but it was a rough stream to get this done. I think I'll work out how I want the middle section to animate, then come back to this and adjust accordingly. As it stands, it's lacking, and probably won't play nice with what I have in mind to come next.
2021-06-25 02:52:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Just a simple one for if you interrupt Roxxie when she's tormenting April. She's gotta return to her original position somehow!
