Monthly Update!!

Here's June's Monthly Update!! We got a small UI update, new Soul designs, and the new move that was featured in the new twitter video!

It's a lot, to update, so here we go!!!

-----------

I think it was in June(or maybe we added it in May and I forgot to showcase it?) that we added Shotgun Spike: A Gerbera-like movement ability in Triburst. If an enemy is close to Rutie during the animation, they're carried with her in that direction! Howeve...

Monthly update!!!

For this month, I added a music manager (denoted by one of FoiFoi's stickers in the air there) that can be configured with a track list that can simply be selected by walking over a volume somewhere in the level, allowing us to call the music manager in other blueprints and have an actual transition between music when we enter the boss fight!! It also was much better than having a sound spawn at the start of the level and we can start doing a lot more ~interesting~ things with that, but that ...

Hazel

Hello everyone i am currently redesigning Hazel because I want to give her more personality and also i want to give her more ~hips~

It also shows her short hair because you wouldn't be able to see that under her original habit anyway.

Character design wip shenanigans

Slight redesign/update to Elsie now that I have gotten better at The Art and also to add more cuteness!

and also a sneak peek at a new character: Frieda - The Strongest Human

More will be revealed about her once I land on a colour palette!

expo demo

Little video of how the game looks now, the link to the demo build is in the video's description (a little sneaky-like)

Monthly update!!

Hey everyone!

Skipped last month's update because we had to rush and get something out for a submission to the Game Devs of Color Expo!!! We submitted just in time so here's hoping you'll see us in September with a public demo available!

As for what patrons get, we got some cool news: I'm just going to go ahead and make a separate post that links to the expo build (or rather the build we sent out for the expo to take a look at)! It's pretty janky and we do need to make some fixes,...

Dev log 1 (of many to come?)

Think we could post when we work on some cool stuff and show the process behind it. It took me a while to fully understand and now I am a master of dynamic parameters!!

Basically the slash effect uses a texture that only has a Red and Green channel: the Green is used for the black areas and the red is used for the emissive which has a colour that can be changed via the Particle Color node. Those two channels are then attached to a noise texture that dictates the shape that the erosion t...

Some more closeups on Foifoi's shop

Laura's almost done with FoiFoi's shop! We decided that it would be better for her living space to have a window that folds out instead of having bars since that looks more like a cage than a little bedroom.

Super excited for the texturing stage!

Testing out the new slash effect!!

It looks really cool and makes her 4 hit combo look much better!

have this video of me being very sleepy at 60fps, i feel like wanting to post this for screenshotsaturday just to get the patreon shmoovin

The sound was off because I was listening to youtube haha ;-;

im smokin sexy style

It's 4am

Just labbed out a combo

Used every move we got so far in one combo

let's fuckin go

I really want to make this public on screenshot saturday I think that'd be okay right? Yeah it'd be okay

Witchblast 2

I added an extra effect to the attack to jazz it up a bit, and now it is my favourite one to use and over-use in a combo lol

Frieda (WIP)

Frieda is a character that I wanted to make that's like the "Magnus" to Rutie's "Pit," like how in Uprising there's one super strong human that's managing to hold their own against the underworld, Frieda could be a super strong human that's so good at punching Remnants she simply does not die

She's simply built different

After a certain point in the story, it would be cool if you can run into her again under special conditions and have her join you in some levels!

Quick Reminder

Rutie hops up into the air and shoots downwards, lifting enemies straight up into the air (at the moment!). A grounded enemy is launched and the aerial version is meant to ground-bounce, but we are currently working on implementing ground bouncing into our system!

This move will also be included in the next build. 

Witch Blast

One of Triburst's aerial-only moves. Rutie flips forward, shooting in a wide area around her, launching enemies caught in the blast! Very useful for some aerial repositioning and it feels real good to use in a combo. Also HEAVILY inspired by Noel Vermillion's Revolver Blast lol

We're gonna try to get this one into the next build

March Update!

Hey everyone, been a few weeks already and we're making good progress! Here's the March Update comin at you hot!

First order of business: added two new moves to the roster: Witch Blast and Quick Reminder. They're both Triburst moves as we work towards filling out Triburst's movelist first! Patron-post coming with more details on these moves and some background into what other moves we have planned for Triburst.

February Update!

Alright then, this will be the first. Just going to write whatever here and hope yall can get a look into how we're doing and what we're thinking!

So to start off, we're close to getting a playable demo of The Void out so people can mess around in the training room and get some sick combo videos going. What should the tag be? #DuskwitchMAD? That's irrelevant right now, but what's important about that little fact is that it will be open to the public as it is the first t...

Rutie Swimsuit + Update

Working on some updates, here's Rutie in the Gris Swimsuit. An unlockable skin perhaps???

Wondering if it would be smart to start doing Monthly Updates, as I've seen some other games do, like a big post that compiles all that was worked on that month and what our current situation is and everything. Things are looking better this month so I am inclined to do so!

Posting this as a public post because why not, I posted it on my personal twitter already!

I'm also working on the...

Realm Splitter

In Blade mode, pressing Back + Attack has you strike downwards, bringing enemies to the ground and knocking them away with a powerful blast at the end from your Broom!

Ley Line

In Blade mode, inputting Forward + Attack has Rutie shoot her gun and dive forward, tackling enemies in the way. Any enemy that is currently airborne is launched further, but it only stuns grounded enemies!

Ice Blast

Caster's 4-shot attack string can be interrupted by using a Special attack at any point during the string to fire off a new spell. Using Special after the first shot shoots a short-ranged Ice Blast that lingers for a couple of seconds and freezes the enemy in place for a short while!

The momentum and knockback of the last attack used before Ice Blast wears off will be applied after the freeze period ends. 

(maybe we can try and make it like Zelda where the momentum...

Ice Blast Combo

Here we see Ice Blast's lingering hitbox being put to good use, with a Realm Splitter to end it off

Every time we add a new move, I gotta shake off the rust in our own game!!!

Showing off some moves

A short combo showing off three new moves that were added: Ice Blast, Realm Splitter and Ley Line! More on those moves in another post

Long time no see~!

Sorry for the inactivity, patreon peeps! We are working on something that will make it worth your while...For now all we can do is show off a few new moves we added: Ice Blast, Realm Splitter and Ley Line!

Now working on how to put the movelist in game...Gonna post some videos soon

Getting started on Shukra

Odile's lantern, Shukra: the High Coven's know-it-all talking lamp. It's gonna be fun to texture him with the psychedelic stained glass effects!

Some more sick gameplay coming Soon, been working on more Blade Mode moves because those are the easiest lol

Styling on em

If I had faster reaction time I'd be able to better incorporate Bringer into a combo, but we'll just have to do with this!

New move: Bringer!

Bringer is a delayed 3rd hit during Blade's Aerial Rave that launches both Rutie and the enemy further into the air, extending your air time!

Yes, it is just like Nero's Roulette Spin

No, I will not deny it

I just wish you could post more than one video per post

Perfect Dodge Sneak Peek!

Is it a character action game with a female protagonist if the perfect dodge doesn't have a special fancy animation? I think not!

Combo_01

A short little combo featuring our new lighting changes that I forgot to post. Will post more updates for patrons only!

FoiFoi's Model

Reposting this here, to show off FoiFoi's model form some substance screenshots. We'll see her moving in game soon!

Can't forget Laurel!

Wizard of the Highland Winds!
