Hello there!

Good news everyone! I have come to a point where I can (finally) showcase the result of a long, LONG period of animation! 

But before you jump onto the video link, please be aware that every animations in the video are subject to change. The code I used to record this is not functionnal for a game. It just works fine for an animation showcase and will obviously not be the actual code for the game. Also, sorry if the video is a bit laggy at some points. My PC tried its best, I promise!

BE AWARE THAT THERE IS NUDITY IN THE VIDEO

Here are Ava's animations :

Also, I did not record the "climb a ladder" animation, so I just made a GIF with it :

What's next

Now that the sprite set is mostly complete, I will be working on actual gameplay elements. Meaning mostly level design, backgrounds stuff and tiles, ennemies, menus... This obviously takes time. But it's still a pretty big milestone for the project.

Ava will probably need more animations eventually. I'm thinking about varying the hurt and death animations but these just take AGES to draw. I'm also thinking about adding some things gameplay-related, like a stun animation, or even a knocked-down animation ( not a death animation ), but this will come later.

I would love to say a prototype/demo can see the day before 2025 ends, but that just might be a goal I just can't reach. I will try my best. I can't wait to show more. It was an absolute blast to make her animations and now I can't wait to actually play her!

I think she will need some voice over... What do you think? 

Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below! Until next time!
