Splice The Hedgehog: RPG Fangame.

Alright, September's over. How far have I gotten?

I was only really working on the skills, saving everything else for last. Here's the results.

Spin Punch:

Super Uppercut: Animation is complete, but Sprites are Unfinished. (3 more to go)

Endless Smash:

Seven Stars: MAY be remade. (Otherwise finished.)

Pummel:

Rending Charge:

Swallow Dance:

Dragon Swarm:

Bone Crusher: Animation is complete, but Sprites are Unfinished.

Skull Cracker:

Gather Power:

Spirit Blast:

Divine Fist: Hasn't been started on.


I've only got 4 more to go, and 3 only need sprite revamps. And one of them already has a head start.
Considering how the end of the month went for me, I'd say this wasn't too bad. Of course I didn't meet the deadline of October like I'd expected, but eh, close enough.

EDIT: Finished Dragon Swarm, so that makes 4 more to go.

Also I added a small, but helpful feature to High Tension. I've found that if Smash is inflicted with any kind of status effect while in High Tension, good or bad, he'll revert back to normal. So by exploiting this, If Smash is KO'd while in this state, he'll automatically be revived with 1HP when he reverts back to normal. But it takes a turn for it to work, so don't be counting on it if you happen to be going solo.

Well, So far so good. Though I wanted to be finished all of his skills by October, I'm kinda satisfied with the progress I've got. I really wasn't sure how I'd pull off Divine Fist, his new ultimate move, but I managed.

The sprites for it aren't completely finished, but heck they're way closer than Bone Crusher, which has been around for a while. I suppose I could show a preview of it.




Since the sprites aren't finished, they portray him in his normal form instead of High Tension.


Once I finish this and Bone Crusher, I can focus on the smaller things on the checklist. Though I should probably work on giving his High Tension skills the proper coloring, and upgrades where needed.

Unfortunately I haven't even really looked at this since I finished Divine Fist.
I'm only posting here to state an idea I came up with. I'm thinking that I'll probably have some sort of feature that let's you view secret scenes.
By "Secret", I mean that these are events that have happened over the course of the game; mainly during the regular scenes you play through. Basically it's to show some side-story about what's been going on in other places while you're busy with whatever. But I chose to have it as a bonus type of thing, (like something that opens up near the end of the game) because most of it will probably reveal spoilers early on.


This idea came to mind because there are a lot of things that happen offscreen that are mildly important.

All of the secret scenes are about Igor.



Igor is secretly behind the entire plot.

I knew it. It all makes sense now.

Well...umm....uhh...

I've been doing work. Really. See, I uh...I finished Splice's pajamas!



See..?



*sigh* okay really now. I don't even know why it took me so long to finish his PJ's. I also managed to finally finish his regular walking sprites, as well as a couple of others. I haven't really done much for Smash in a while. I guess I kinda got burned out after finishing Divine Fist. (I knew I should have saved it for last.) Anyway, Progress is progressing pretty slowly. But at least it's going somewhere.

those are some huge socks.

Going over the game's weapons, I remembered a weapon SuperLightning wanted me to put in. (and I had, actually) Along with his accessory, the Phoenix Feather, there was the Flame Tetsusaiga. To be honest, I'm rather surprised at myself for taking so long to realize where that originated...
And for the 5th and final time, I've gone and added the rest of the sword weapons. I'm pretty sure there aren't as many as there were last time, but I always added them right before a data loss, and haven't since my harddrive died in June.

Moving on...
I went ahead and started setting up the other weapon sets as well. Hammers and Staves. As I said before, some time ago, hammers are pretty rare and quite powerful. Thus, there are only 6 equippable hammers in the game.

I would go about designing them like I did with the daggers, but I'm short on time at the moment. I'm hoping to get these weapon sets down as long as I'm on my break from Smash.


EDIT: I'm rearranging the weapons in the database, so the game will probably be near unplayable until I get everything in order.

EDIT2: Well I've pretty much completely rearranged the entire items section of the database. This means that I'll have to go through the entire game and fix up everything item related to match the arrangements. Seriously this was desperately needed, but the consequences are pretty great. At least this will give me a chance to go over some other things that might need touching up.
Oh right, I created all of the weapons. I just need to adjust the market price on them, and then their character compatibilities, before finally making the weapon animations themselves. As implied above, each weapon will have their own designs, meaning I'll have to use individual animations to make this work. This does give a chance for variety in the weapon animations, though.

Okay I think I'm done fixing everything up to the reorganization now. At least, everything important, that is. All the debug room stuff is still jumbled. I think I'll leave it that way for a little while. After all, it's not IMPORTANT, it was just there for convenience.

So now that I've done that, I'm gonna play through the game and bugtest it just in case I might have missed anything. Planning on making some changes here and there, as well. After I've ironed things out, I'm gonna go back and finish Smash. maybe.

Now that I've finished setting up the weapons and such, I figured now would be a good time to design them. It's gonna take a long time to finish designing all the swords and staves, but I managed to get the guns and hammers done now.
