Weekly Roundup 37 - 13/11/20 - 4 Minute Narrated Playthrough + A Doomed Pony Princess (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

I got some real progress to show off this week! For both the RPG project and a new animation set I'm working on!

1: This Weeks Progress

This week I set out to work on "Stitching" together all the prior prototypes I've made for the 2nd Project to show how the gameplay experience flows from the Dungeon view to the Encounters and back again. 

Overall it was quite successful! All the encounters and puzzles work correctly and they transition! 

Putting this all together did also illuminate some design tweaks. The player now has both Stamina and Vitality as resources to use, which I explain in the narrated video.

NARRATED GAMEPLAY VIDEO:

I recorded a 4 minute video of all the content being played out and narrated it. You can watch this video here! 

2: Animation Set in Progress: A Doomed Pony Princess

So at the moment I'm painfully aware that the content value of this Patreon isn't the greatest until I can get a subscriber demo of the 2nd project out. Which is still far away for the time being. I don't want to deliver you all bad experiences.

But! You also should get fun content!

So in the mean time I did want to create something interesting and exclusive to the Patreon which are animation sets. Like the Coco Bandicoot one I did a few months ago.

This one is more complex: They'll be animations of escalating tickle torture for a doomed anthro Pony Princess. <3

My plan will be to post one animation publicly to generate interest. Then the rest will be exclusive to you all. :)

Here's a screenshot of me starting to connect sprite layers to animation bones:

And I've attached a static still-image of the current artwork to this post so you can see the layout.

My HOPE is to get some animations of this setup done by the end of the month and give you all that extra value! :D

3: What's Next?

Much like this week, next week will be a split between working on developing the prototype further as well as working on the animation set!

What do you think of the video and the upcoming animation set? :D
