Splice The Hedgehog: RPG Fangame.

So far I've got it to work for one weapon. I could easily just copy/paste what I did to make the others work too, but I think I'm gonna try to be a little creative and experiment with them.

Regardless of the results of my experiments, if it works for one weapon it'll definitely work for the others.

Been working a bit slowly here, as things have been rapidly coming up to prevent me from focusing on SpTH lately. But anyway, I just recently remembered a comment made by Roy some time ago about the Item TV boxes looking flat. I thought I'd try to do something about that.



In doing so, I have also restored the original color. (Because way back when, I didn't use Irfanview for whatever reason.)

On the subject of item TV's, I've been considering replacing the majority of the treasure chests in the game with these.


They'll serve the same purpose of course; The change is more or less for aesthetic reasons. I want to save the treasure chests for items that are truly special or important.
Of course, the change from chests to TV boxes also gives me a bit more diversity in showing what contains what. I could probably have an icon for weapons, armor, etc. Or I could just leave most of them as random. Haven't decided yet.

Spoiler:

I did a thing.

So somewhere along the line I got the idea of Speedy using Hammer Flip from KSS. Turns out it was a great way to portray his variation of the characterized Piko Piko Hammer.


If I hadn't already talked about that, one of the hammer weapons is in fact, the Piko Piko Hammer. Its style alters depending on the character equipping it. This was inspired by the tag-team abilities with Amy Rose in Sonic Advance 3, where anyone paired with her could use a hammer.
I went and designed hammers for (almost) everyone. As Speedy's had fire painted on the side of it, I figured this was a nice way to use it.

Pretty neat. Sort of takes away Amy's uniqueness in my opinion, but like you said it's been done before in SA3, and besides Amy doesn't appear in SpTH, so I think its use as a weapon is a nice way to keep the game true to the Sonic series.

I would call it something other than Piko Piko Hammer but it's a fun concept.

Well then, what would you call it?
I'm open to suggestions!

Spirit Mallet.

I like it! Changed accordingly.

Make all the individual character hammers Sprit Mallets (since they're all based off the, well, individual characters), and then make the Piko Piko hammer a bonus weapon. ^^

EDIT: I uploaded a new experimental piece yesterday. Let me know what you like or dislike about it, since I'm starting to apply effects and equalizers to some of the instruments.

I was debating over whether or not I wanted to do that, but now that I have a second opinion sure. [/extremelylateresponse]


Anyway, I figured I should give an end-of-the-month update. Unfortunately, I haven't done too much since I finished the Blaze Mallet. I started working on Kyle's hammer, but then I got swept away in other matters and haven't focused on the game since.
Since I only have two weeks left of school now, I should be able to pick things up fairly soon. Splice is fairly close to being finished, having a good majority of his basic animations completed in his dagger moveset. There are only a few more of those that need finishing before I go and edit his skills. It's still a lot of spritework left to deal with, but if I work as hard as I did during spring break then he should be finished in...mmm...I'd say about Mid-June. Don't quote me on this.


Also Phys, sorry that I haven't been getting back to you on those songs. I've just been trying to get my plans in order before replying on SpTH's talk page.
