Update - Pt. 1

Added 2020-09-29 02:30:43 +0000 UTC

Hey guys,

Sorry for going radio silent for the majority of this month.

I've been hacking away in the background, though. The Es update necessitated updates to Brian, which necessitated updates to some of his animations, which necessitated some updates to some of his states..things took a lot longer than I expected in the end, but i'm nearly finished. Right now, im working on polishing some things up and figuring out what to do with some of the animations i've finished, but more on that later. I don't want to make this overly long, so i'll split this into a few posts.

I spent a huge chunk of time making updates to Cammy for an outstanding Commission. The first chunk of that involved a new doggy animation.

This is the basic animation. It's actually split into two parts like 2b and some of the other newer animations i've done. The background leg sprite isn't visible here, though.

This is just an extra variation of the basic doggy animation at higher speeds. Part of the work I had been doing was adding code so that each variant animation has its own idle state, so there isn't any weird flickering on transition (Or at least there shouldn't be)

Going further with the "cut-in" idea, I tried experimenting with it on cammy as well. I made three different variations based on speed/stage of the animation. One thing I wasn't sure about was how closely it should mirror the actual anim, so I kept it relatively tame.

Next up was my first foray into a "Game Over" animation. Basically, after KO and winning a round, there would be a fade to black before a new scene started. There's three different variations of this, and this is what probably took up the most time - they took a while since I had to draw things basically from scratch.
