Update - Public Build Reschedule

This is only for the public free release on Itch.

Looking ahead, I realized the May release would lead right into the June Break, so I would be unavailable at that time.

The public free release will be on July instead of May.

Once again, thought to let you know in advance!

DiBS 0.8.2 Progress Log - Boss Anims

What's Worked On

Once again, much of it is behind the scenes work, as well as more interactions beyond just the boss.

Boss Animations

Here he is in motion! It's still not his final look, but his general form is there now. Wanted to nail down his expressions so the word-hit-indicators won't be needed.

Also, the roof ammo falls in a random location. It jus...

What's Worked On

Much of it is behind the scenes work, as well as more interactions beyond just the boss.

Boss guy occasionally looking up at Mox annoying him, then back to reading. 

Still not his final look, but him acknowledging the player is finally coming together!

What's Worked On

Boss Color Exploration

Boss guy and Mox chilling.

Here's a color exploration on the look of the boss! His look is not there yet. There's a few more things to tweak, but he's getting there! 

Also, those blue lights in the ceiling are ammo. Roof ammo.

DiBS 0.8.2 Progress Log - Scarf Scooch

What's Worked On

Not much to visually show since most are in drafting stage.

Mox Meetup - Koubold Shiver, Woof Offer

Here's Woof seeing kbol getting cold, so he's offering his scarf. Koubold politely declines.

Needed a way to visually telegraph that there's something to find for the meetup. In this case, a scarf for a cold koubold.
