Hey all. I haven't spent a ton of time on the game these past few weeks, but I've been fiddling with code and figuring out the HUD. I previously had a couple little layers on Piko's sprite to show blushing and hypno, but I scrapped those in favor of this emotion window. It saves a bit of pain with adding more Piko poses later and makes for more interesting visual feedback, I think ;>
Speaking of sprite layers, I finally finished the setup for sorting+hiding the layers of clothing and restraints so they (hopefully) don't overlap weirdly. It may present design limitations at some point but works for now.
Oh, I also added a dodge animation!
Reina: "She is definitely trying to get hit. That stance is woefully inefficient."
Ripley: "I dunno, maybe she just likes showing off?"
Reina: "Absolutely. I was merely hoping that she might progress to my next challenge in a more timely fashion."
Ripley: "Okay. Aren't you still developing the next challenge?"
Reina: "U-Uh. We will talk later."

Until next time. Survive and thrive 🪶
