Rhino Grab Initial

This one wasn't much trouble to animate, but was a pain to code, given how wide the sprite is. The size often meant that Texas would get thrown off-screen.

Sorry for the delay in posting, Patreon was down for maintenance. 

Bear Grab Rhino Mid

If I redid this today, I would change so much. Movement for the rhino, a more abrupt shove in, an actual expression for Texas...

I REALLY dislike this animation.

Progress Update 05/06/19

Hey everyone,

I've been really lax with updates so far, and that reflects poorly if I'm unable to give people an accurate idea of the progress of the game, so I'll be pushing myself much harder to get these out at least every month.

Currently, I am working on the basic animations for the third level enemies, and ...

Bear Grab Rhino Initial

This grab is my personal least favourite grab in the game. It's just very poorly thought out and animated, and I'm really disappointed in how it turned out.

Double Bear Grab End

Flats and feets.

Double Bear Grab Mid

It's gotta be hard to breathe in there.

More hugs for Texas

Big Bun

BBW bunny edged the competition out in the polls, but that's what I was leaning towards anyway. This way I can reserve some of my cow ideas for the boss, while having the cows I've already drawn serve as an environmental hazard, so they will still get some squashing attacks in.

In any case, here's the actual third enemy...

Cow vs Bunny?

This post will contain spoilers for level 3, as it is partially discussing my ideas for the boss fight. If you would prefer for that to be a surprise, please do not read further.

Hey everyone,

I've reached a bit of a dilemma which I would like to hear your opinions...

Bear Grab End

More like a bear-lyflop, amiright?

Bear Grab Mid

That's one tight hug.

Bear Grab Initial

Tex needs a hug now and again.

Cow

And here's our third enemy for level 3! Cows so big the rabbits use them like horses. 

Pig

The second enemy for level 3. Been a while since I've had to draw feral animals, so this one was a bit annoying, but I'm happy enough with it in the end, and it's nice to do something different occasionally.

Rat Grab Rhino End

Man, I remember the good old days where end sprites were only about 15 frames long...

Rabbit

The first enemy of level three. Her design's a little plain, but over-complicated designs can be hard to animate. And I'm gonna be animating a lot of these girls...

Also, for those up on their Gold Springs 'lore', the leader of this bunny-based gang is an established villain of Tex's, who will be featuring prominently i...

Rat Grab Rhino Mid

Back before butt physics had been invented in Gold Springs.

Rat Grab Rhino Initial

Was never happy about the rhinos in the first level. Just don't really like anything about them. I'm much happier with the elephants in level 2.

Also, I am back from my week long break now, so I'll be posting animations as normal (until I run out), and streaming as normal. I'm hoping to have an updated version of the g...

Short Break (3/05/2019)

Right, now that the game's released I'm going to take a short break, so there will be no streaming or animations being uploaded next week. After that we'll be back to normal though. Don't want to leave you all hanging for too long!

Thanks,

SF

Just because I posted the game doesn't mean I won't post the end of this set.

Level 2 (Updated)

Well, I've fixed the bugs that I could replicate from people's reports, and I've also added some I-Frames to the game, which should hopefully help a little with the difficulty. But now I need to move on to level 3.

Also, it's come to my attention that Game Maker has some issues with Intel integrated graphics cards, part...

Rat Grab Bear Mid

Rub rub rub. 

Ignore the stray pixel hanging above the rat's head. It's probably just a curious fly or something.

Rat Grab Bear Initial

Alllmost forgot to upload today, but here it is! One of the rare foot-based animations in the game.

Double Rat Grab End

Definitely a little rough around the edges...

Double Rat Grab Mid

I've come a long way since animating this, but I'm still using the same gas sprites.

Update 22/04/2019

Hey everyone!

Good news! As of today the last of the coding is done! All that now stands between me and the release of level 2 is the bugtesting! Though given that currently the level 2 bossfight is a bug-ridden mess, that's still a little bit of a hurdle. Still, we're very close to completion now!

I would also ...

Double Rat Grab

Well, having run out of new animations, it's onto the old ones for the time being. Starting with the very first of the grab animations in the game. Things have improved a lot since then (though not for Texas).

Elephant Grab End

9/10 of Gold Springs villains agree: Weasel fur feels best.

Roxxie Train Escape

Short cutscene from the game. Roxxie pulls the brake, Texas falls over, Roxxie uses Texas's spine as a trampoline.
