heyo peeps! while rick and al are on the three introductory minigmaes , this week i've tried to finish the assets for the mirror maze puzzle.
After andy's reflections and the general background were done all that was left to do was the grid on wich andy will have to move to reach the end of the maze (of course had to animate a bit the entry and exit points.)

the gist of the mirror puzzle ...

banana inquiry is having some trouble with some nasty bugs so not much on the front of programming, and i kind of overestimated how long it would take to make a whole set of walking cycles for george ( i mostly blame his kilt's pattern). So yeah, all i could manage to do is finish that this week.

i'm sorry lately i've been mostly posting walk cycles. They're really boring and time consumi...

now that most of the assets for the initial minigames are done, i decided it might come in handy to work for stuff that we're still deciding on. We do know there'll be a mirror maze puzzle with evil shades of andy chasing after him, yet we don't know the specifics of said puzzle. But we do know the doppelgangers will be there, so i started animating a walk cycle for each:

ehh...what's new, at this point. Apologies, but the comic's pressure is getting a bit intense and i think it would be beneficial for everyone if i took a week off every two updates on the regular.
speaking of wich, another thing that would help immensely would be how the comments are given. I enjoy a lot reading the complex descriptions that almost read like storyes in the comments, but in terms of using them to create a unified narrative, it's a bit much.
what i'd ask...

yeaah... seems like i'm kind of runnign out of things to draw for z&a again. Now that the assets for the minigames are done and a lot of other stuff is already drawn and animated all that's left for me to do is wait for more of the finalized storyline to be done, and that seems to be taking a bit. I might have to stop with z&a updates again to let the code & writing to catch up , in wich case i might do something else on thursday, but i still haven't decided what yet.
Anyway...

heyo peeps, we're still hard at work adding and refining stuff to the first day after meek started writing for us, and of course banana inquiry is still implementing stuff and squashing bugs so we can have something playable as soon as possible. As for me , Binq asked me for a 260x260 logo to use as an icon for the executable,so i provided!

speaking about statuesque wolves, i realized i h...

eh, what can you do, there are times in developing a game where you don't have things that are particularly interesting or new to show people, but that are equally important to give a sense of polish to the project.
This week i bring to you the amazing spectacle of... bubbles?
these are indicators for fishing spots in the fishing minigame, and they go from most visible to barely there to indicate what tier of fishes you can get from them.
so for example the low tier fishes (...

i'm trying not to make this a habit, having two weeks of updates and one week of break,but i have to admit my mood and general health seem to have improved thanks to this so i dunno. Nonetheless this week i'm also planning on doing something extra so i need the time. Apologies to those who were counting on having the update this week, things will resume normally on the tenth!

heyo pups here we are with another update on the progress of fenris high! i'm happy to announce that now anothermeekone is also working with us, helping us out with the story ! thanks to him we sped up considerably in terms of finishing up the design document and the story beats!
on the graphics side, this week we put another piece of furniture in the library, but it's not any ordinary piece of furniture, it's a whole freaking whale skeleton!

for the actual fishing part, andy needed a fail animation if you aren't able to catch your prey:

Rick has moved on the shooting minigame and now we can keep track of the shots fired by the damned : 20 shots , after wich he loses the game and you win, given you have at least one duck intact

the game also of keeps track of how many ducks you have left, and after they...

heyo peeps, this part of the game is sure taking a lot of time to finish heh ^_^' we didn't exactly expect this, as the minigames are supposed to be fairly quick, but well, making look and play good is probably take a bit more effort than your average run of the mill shenanigans, not only because of the amount of spritework they need, but also because AGS isn't technically made for this kind of things? anyways, Rick has implemented most graphics for the second minigame and the first one...

i apologize again peeps, but i have to take another break from the comic this week. Last time was a bit rough on my health ( had something like five days of migraines while i was working) and i think it'd be best if i ease it down for this week, in case it's something stress related. Hopefully this won't be a regular thing and i can keep updating the comic every week. Thanks a lot for your patience peeps and again, apologies!

First i finished the background work for the fishing minigame, wich consists of a small part of the lethe river in front of the circus, where andy will move around with his boat.

we had to spend some time organizing ourselves with the assets we have, and fixing stuff that didn’t quite work, so there’s not much we can show off this week unfortunately. We’ll let you peeps know as soon as there’s more visible progress! Apologies again, but that’s just how gamedev is sometimes ^_^’

Nonetheless, i started working on the bg. It's going to be a big one, so for now i just have a WIP to show you.

so while he's on that i took some time to finish the assets for the second minigame of the third level.
all it needed was andy's animations, the duck target getting shot and some win and losing conditions:
