Saber Flash Belt Update 8/28

Yay the vector's done. I have a lot of recoloring ahead, but next I'm thinking about doing another Build update.

As for coding, I've had lots of trouble sleeping this week so I've been mentally figuring out the mess that is the wonder ride book system. Biggest thing was book 1 & 3 could be in the same category and trip the 2 book song. It's weird. So that's been a fun thing to think about, but I believe I have it down.

Basically there's a counter to the side with 2 slots. Once...

Saber Flash Belt Update 8/24

The fire emblem for Saber's Seiken Swordriver is vectored out.

Set the outline for the base. Will start real work on it tomorrow. For now it's sleepin' time.

Zero-One Flash Belt Update 8/23

Ehhhh it's done. Ark Scorpion thankfully just uses the 02 progrise key base so it was easy to do.

Saber Flash Belt Update 8/22

Been working on the Seiken Swordriver slowly since Double's been published. I'm going to do the work on the rest of the belt before coming back for the details on the blade. Like my work on everything, I'm getting the vector down, then coloring and coding.

Before I get to coding for Saber I'll need to see how the sounds are ripped. I want to see how the music behind the announcements is handled along with the names. See if the two/three combos have entirely different files or if the two...

Double Flash Belt Update 8/19

 A HUGE thanks to all of my Legend Rider tier Patreon supporters for voting for Double as the new flash to take on. It was quite a ride. I'll be posting a poll soon for the next Legend Rider tier project so keep an eye out for that.

----------------------------------------

1.00: Double's finally here!

All of Double, Accel, Skull, and Eternal's henshin memories are accessible in the drivers. Engine and Prism are also available for henshin in the drivers. Fang and Trial h...

Build Flash Belt Update 8/13

1.55: Fan Evol Tank added. I always had the mud tread tracks in mind for the bottle design but I had to figure out how I wanted to do the tank itself. Then for the logo I mixed a slightly simplified Tanktank logo with the Build gear.

Build Flash Belt Update 8/12

Working on the Tank Evolbottle. I have the bottle design down, but I need to figure out the logo.

I always knew in my mind that the side marks of the bottle would be mud treads from the tank, but I had to figure out how exactly I wanted to do the tank that would be going up and down.

I tried to base the tank off of the shoulder armor for Tanktank. I'm happy with how it came out, but now I gotta think of that logo. I'm trying to stick to the design language the Evolbottle have set ...

Saber Flash Belt Update 8/10

Ayy it's done. So now I have all three stages of the Wonder Ride Books. The big thing I wanted to do was make sure that the stages fit within each other. Like that behind the closed book was the page and back. Its all gotta be there so that when it's animated it looks better.

This whole process is also what's holding up ZI-O Trinity from being done.  Thankfully no circles with the WRBs.

Saber Flash Belt Update 8/9

Worked on the opened cover and back of the book today. I'll work on the middle page tomorrow. Good news is that the middle page is just a reflection like the front cover.

It took a while deciding what deserves a different shade on the back, and aligning all of the letters on the cover.

Honestly, today was a crazy anxiety day so I'm pretty happy with how much got done.

Build Flash Belt Update 8/1 Part 2

You can play this update here: http://fav.me/dbl4i07

Super Sentai bottle added to the Build Driver. Kamen Rider bottle added to evol and build drivers.  

Oh man. So while I planned to add the placeholder bottles, the Sentai bottle gave me hours of difficulty. It wouldn't allow me to use a finisher with it and so it took a long time to find the source of the issue.

Build Flash Belt Update 8/1

I'm working on the next Build update. Right now I'm working on the Kamen Rider Fullbottle with the faces of the main 4 build riders on it. So far I have Build and Cross-z done. I'm also thinking about releasing placeholder bottles for Evol Dinosaur and Tank. That way the function can be there.

Zero-One Flash Belt Update 8/1

1.6: Stickers for all keys added. My time working on the Legend Locks helped me nail down how I wanted to knock out the stickers. No video since no real features were added.

August Flash Focus Results

This month's flash focus was pretty much a blowout with Double and Build getting the majority of the votes. If we added all of the other flashes together you'd have another contender between the two, but since it was a blow out and Saber is coming into play I've decided to keep it to those 2 flashes for the poll.

So Build and Double will get attention this month. Bandai will likely post the Ark Driver listing this month if they have plans to sell it so Zero-One will continue to get some...

Saber Flash Belt Update 7/30

I said I'd take a breather after finishing that Gaim update and here I am knocking out the prep work for Saber. Made the logo, mark, and the template for the Wonder Ride Books.

I've already noticed when it comes to the non-DX book the spine and smaller holes are different. I'll make a different template for that so I can do that all easily. I worked in Flash to make a multiply filter so I don't have to apply every color to each book. Since I do the coloring by taking one color and uppin...

Gaim Flash Belt Update 7/28

View the flash belt here: http://fav.me/d6o1v28

5.43: Added the new logo to the title screen. Added V3, Riderman, Amazon, Stronger, Shocker Rider, Leader of Shocker, & Shocker Combatman lockseeds. Since I was doing Shocker Rider I took a second and redid Ichigo & Nigo as well, and since it was so close anyway I redid ZX and Black RX so all of the Showa locks, aside from the era lockseed, are all vectors instead of ima...

Gaim Flash Belt Update 7/28

Oh man I’ve been going through many locks trying to get one more update out. So far Riderman, Amazon, Stronger, Shocker Rider, Leader of Shocker, and Shocker Combatman are done. Ichigo and Nigo locks have been redone since I was doing Shocker Rider anyway, but while I was at it I also redid ZX and Black RX so I could say all Showa Legend Locks are the new vector versions 👍

Thinking about getting at least V3 done before releasing the update. We’ll see. After this update is done I�...

Zero-One Flash Belt Update 7/25

View the flash belt here: http://fav.me/ddj3mud

1.51: Japanese Wolf Key added. Zero Two Module now set so it will flip but you must press it to scan and start the standby sound. After removing the progrise key you have the choice of restarting the standby or just tossing in the next progrise key. 

ZI-O Flash Belt Update 7/24

 View the flash belt here: http://fav.me/dcnmvim  

.8: Another Ridewatches added to the Ziku Driver. No plans to add the watches alone since they don't really have any alternate sounds. The rider time sound is pretty much the henshin sound for the watches alone, and since I don't plan on making backgrounds for the another riders then there isn't really a point in my eyes. 

Gaim Flash Belt Update 7/22

Here's a lil look at a future update. I really didn't care for Fourze's colors.

The coloring on Fourze was ripped straight from the reference image. That is how I'd do my temporary colors now. As you can see they were definitely using incandescent bulbs, thus the hues scew yellow/orange. Bleck.

Along with Fourze, I've redone Double, OOO, Wizard, and Gaim all pretty quick. Gaim and Wizard needed lots of recoloring as well. Gaim also needed some line work, but it could all be done p...

Gaim Flash Belt Update 7/21

View the flash belt here: http://fav.me/d6o1v28

5.42: Skyrider, Black, ZO, & Beast Lockseeds added. Momotaros and Tajadol faces added. Kachidoki and Kiwami lockseeds recolored and lines reworked. Sengoku Driver knife coloring redone.

All new locks and redone locks in this update are all vectors instead of images. This allows them to be clear no matter how big or zoomed in you are. Black, ZO, and Skyrider were all in...

Gaim Flash Belt Update 7/19 - EDIT

Momotaros and ZO added. I'll probably drop the update tomorrow.

-----

Just did Beast as well.

-----

Been working on a Gaim update. I've done this lock, Black, and redid Kachidoki, Kiwami, and the Sengoku Driver knife's coloring and line-work.

The biggest bit though is that this is all done in Freehand and brought over to Flash. All of the other lockseeds in Gaim are tossed through Photoshop and brought in as PNGs. This being a vector means it's alway clear and pr...

ZI-O Flash Belt Update 7/15

View the flash belt here: http://fav.me/dcnmvim

.75: Hattari added. Sadly I don't have his finisher sounds and good sound rips from shinobi are hard to come by.  Mirror ZI-O also added. Sadly the one compromise I had to make was his rider time had to be on the left like everyone else. But I added his own version of the Zikan Girade. 

Next will be the Double update.

Flash Belt Update Plans 7/14

Woooo got the Mirai Driver out. I want to include Hattari, and I did his vector today, but I don’t have his finisher sounds. Right now I’m thinking of doing Mirror ZI-O next followed by my next Double update. This way first and second place, Gaim and ZI-O, both have gotten two major updates, redux musou/dj ju & mirai/mirror, and third, Double, get its update.

I’ll see where I am after that. I don’t expect much more from Zero One this month, but I’m going to try ...

ZI-O Flash Belt Update 7/14

.7: Mirai Driver added, so you can now henshin into Shinobi, Quiz, Kikai, and Ginga.  

Hahaha I wanted to get this done yesterday afternoon, but those Zero-One sounds dropped and I raced to get those done.

Zero-One Flash Belt Update 7/13

1.5: Zero-Two Module & Progrise Key added. Slash Riser & Burning Falcon key added.

ZI-O Flash Belt Update 7/11

Putting together the next update for ZI-O. Got the Mirai Driver base done and sorted. Vectors for the Ginga, Shinobi, Kikai, and Quiz attachments are done, but they need to be recolored.

Zero-One Flash Belt Update 7/11

Here's a test run of the menu I'm going to use to change 01 to 02. I'm also going to add a check that makes it so progrise keys skip the scan when the driver is 02.

If you go to the Shot Riser, right click and Play twice you can also get a go at the Slash Riser.

Zero-One Flash Belt Update 7/10

Finished up the Zero-Two Progrise Key. I'll still have to put together the code for the Zero-Two attachment but other than that this is done. Zero-Two's key is reusing the Thouser code so not hard :).

After I get the 02 module done I'll be moving over to ZI-O.
