*live devlogging*
so i'm going to dive in and work on the character 'Fighter Female'
if all I get done is FF, Guy Fighter, Housi, and Boso Textured & rigged and in the game This Season during Tourney then I'm happy ^^;; anything else like with the amv's is extra
The Character Design is just a generic female... My art style is influenced by Phil Hale, Ashley Wood, smbhax so she kinda looks like a Popbot character and y'know what I was thinking about adding some robots & cyborgs to the stadium but I think cyborgs are going to have to wait til next year I have enough on my plate
one issue I have is that there's a couple different versions floating around, I typically ONLY work in Blender 2.79b because they KEPT updating the UI and COMPLETELY changing everything around AS SOON AS I fuckign got used to one layout I just stopped downloading new versions and learn 1 only sorry bye. I wish more software was dedicated to staying 1 way only forever & that was the point. I want to start an Ether Wallet (or some-such append-only ledger) that is only dedicated to KEEP THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. so once things get into blender 3.5 then they can't go back easily... i was having some import / export issues ..
on new box
* Apply Modifiers wasn't checked in export so the model didn't have subdivision surface for like years ... been stuck at this point getting the char rigged up for years because its something that takes a lot of time and dedication & not something when you're in the public library for ~4 hrs and their hours suck and you're always suspect and in public and jfc whatever
I need to try to re-import the rigged model back into blender 2.79b
I need to texture her and add hair and maybe a prop or flair but it shouldn't be that hard
Then I gotta have her own unique ui & control scheme ...
Everyone is capable of going Max Level (10) easily during alpha/tourney.
Her playstyle is Fighter (as opposed to Wizard) she's going to have phys damage moves I have to figure out how hits are registered and just go head-to-head for days against herself as the dummy & do like those like early engine tests of registering the pain cubes & hashing out the animations so they
^ that alone is like an at least $300 job that i am doing & i am proposing I do it at least 4 times by the end of the month so I realistically need $1200 to show up this month for the effort I am putting out because I am doing this regardless but most likely because no one is going to find out about this or care once they do I'm going to end up spending $30-$270 extra that I don't have and being like 'fuck'. but at least I'll have a demo instead of vapour and that's what its all about.
vaguely thinking about adding a `mob` to this version... a phoenix feather ... they grow in the garden outside (where the grey blobs are coming in)
that would be the basis of reincarnation as well as inventory
crap I forgot about slimes... lemme put my slime gray blob in so its in the game... hmm..
