Quickie news update (Shiren WIP coming)

I'm gonna be pushing to get another WIP critter out for you all! 

This here is Shiren. I have a file started for her in the game, but only basic movements so far.

She's gonna be a "half-grappler" archetype. Good movement on the ground but more limited in the air. (weak air-jump and air-dash, sluggish mid-air steering.) 

She'll have some throws that are worked into her combo strings, with moves that becomes throws when the hit connects. She'll have a special projectile dodging roll, a short-ranged projectile, and a...

Mango WIP UPDATE Jan 11, 2022

CHARACTER DOWNLOAD AT BOTTOM OF POST. 

EDIT: SMall change to add small and large portraits to Mango's file, instead of the placeholder Aurumo. Also Mango's Read-Me was updated.

Characters in this update are GEJHI, AURUMO, FELIRO and the featured one of this update, MANGO. Mango is mostly the only one with updates in this post. Aurumo got a small detail of perma-freeze when KOing a foe with a freezing attack.

SO, here's anotehr very fast update for Mango with almost all...

Mango Featured WIP Character pack (Jan-01-2022)

Download pack is at the bottom of this post.

EDIT: Fixed an issue I overlooked with Aurumo and Mango not crashing the MUGEN versions on load. IkemenGO has a weird small difference it's fine with that MUGEN don't like with math involving brackets.

So, his pack features the new boy. Mango. A sassy trollish critter having fun and not takin anything seriously. 

Inspiration hit me to churn out work on this boy and I got pretty far. I think I'm going to do something similar like this and wor...

New WIP character being added to the next update batch

This here is Mango, a new WIP critter I'll be adding in the next batch of characters I'm planning to drop in tomorrow. Along with some updates given to Aurumo since the last drop, but I still have work to do on him with some changes I've made to his heat-system and a couple of his attacks.

But I managed to squeeze out work on this new boy gettin him pretty far along to a complete moveset, albeit with rough animations still. 

I just have a few things I need to do that I want a lil more time for before I drop this new update, ...

Aurumo WIP Assets Nov 30, 2021

It's been a bit since I've posted an update animation sprite set for download, so, here's a new set for Aurumo with all the frames and gif exports I made so far. It has a handful of updated animations that I finished. I have more on the way, so I'll be posting another Aurumo set next month, as I'm at the point of grinding out animation work for him.

This includes other unfinished assets in it along side the ones I finished so far!

Thanks a bunch for the support. <3
Happy holidays!

WIP character Update November 30, 2021

This update is largely focused on Aurumo, but also have a universal update for the other two characters.

AS USUAL, download is at the bottom of the post.

EDIT: Something small I missed with the matchwin splash that I missed the 2nd location that called it. It's turned off in team matches for the time being. (see below)

EDIT2: I think I finally found the issue with Aurumo dashing the wrong way seemingly at random during play. He was missing a buffer.time=0 on his "holdback" ...

IkemenGO compatibility update. (11-01-2021) (also not charging patrons again)

[Quick patch 11/13/21] Just posting this up at the top of this post. I noticed that Aurumo and Feliro's Omega supers didn't activate when the meter said so. I forgot to change one number in the two of them to match the changes I made to Omega meter. Feliro's move still have a sync issue when in tag team mode which I'm going to figure out for next update.

Download of all 3 characters included in this update are attached to the bottom of this post!

Update: Ikemen Go Engine Compatibility

So, the last couple of weeks I've been picking at working my code a bit to play nice with Ikemen Go, which is an engine that has expanded on the Mugen 1.1b engine considerably with a lot of added features. So, what I'm aiming to do is make my characters consistent in both engines at the base level, which I have achieved. I just need to fix a couple things on Aurumo and Feliro. This code rework is actually better overall than the system I have working prior, as I've managed to convert direction inputs to absolute left and right for command in...

Personal update [Not charging for October]

Soooo, I'm letting October come free for current patrons again. I've been very bogged down with personal stuff going on lately and my motivation hasn't been the greatest. Among the issues, I've been going through doctor offices because of pending/unknown issues they are trying to figure out and some clues have been found. It's just been wearing at my mentally for a while, but rest assured that I am fine and well generally speaking. I just am not sure what some things may mean for me way down the line. I'm still active and gettin exercise and...

Just a quick post to let folks know.

I'm not gonna charge supporters on September 1st. This month was a quiet one for meaningful updates outside of what I posted at the start of the month. I haven't had a ton of time to grind out animation for Aurumo and Feliro, so and just waving the charge for this month as usual when I have a quiet period.

Don't want folks payin me when I don't have good updates.

I am planning to try hammering out a lot of work on them in September. Looking to maybe have two two critters finished by some point in October.

Thanks all and h...

WIP Character Update AUG 01, 2021

For this update, it's mostly a character mechanic and adjustments update. I did a lot of play testing and made various adjustments to the system.

Both Aurumo and Feliro got changes and fixes done in this update.

Character download zip file is at the bottom of this post.

After this post, I'm going to be focusing much more on finishing the animations for these two for the official releases. They are both still missing some universal animation assets and have some dummied up animatio...

Feliro (and Aurumo) WIP update 06-27-21

Downloads are at the bottom of this post.
This Update focuses on Feliro mainly.

Before I get into the Feliro-specific details. Some small adjustments were made to the internal mechanics for all characters. I made changes to my special buffer system. Doing cancels between moves is now more consistent with a 12-frame buffer for inputs during attacks. This was done for attack that move and have longer active periods, to make canceling them more lax without needing to specifically time the inputs within 3 frames of cont...

Aurumo Playable WIP 06-01-21 Update Download

Finally here, as I stated in the evening. Feliro is also included with a small universal update.
DOWNLOAD IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS HUGE POST. There's a LOT of patch notes to this update.
Aurumo is FUNCTIONALLY finished, but just needs a few animations for intro/win/lose and a for his Riposte throw (and a possible frozen foe throw I may add)

Oh, he also still needs parry animation. That will be added soon.

This update is huge though:

Mechanics
The m...

Aurumo update within a few hours. June free to current patrons.

I'm almost done with the big wave of updates for Aurumo where his moveset will be complete with all animations except intro/win/time over loose animations.

I'm gonna drop in within a few hours, but I'm way too close to the deadline for the month for me to justify charging you all again. I tried, but I don't feel right charging, even if I'm putting it out in a lil while.

So yeah. Keep an eye out soon to see the new update and hope you enjoy an almost complete Aurumo.

I'll at that point, just need to add the pretty stuff, ...

Quick News Post : Aurumo WIP update coming shortly

So, I've been trying to squeeze in work on Aurumo's file, and I'm dangerously close to the end of the month again. Commission work's been heavy, at least with me trying to finish various commission projects.

That said, I have rough animations of ALMOST everything needed for Aurumo. Just a couple of universal animations are missing (dizzy, guard flinch frames, and stand/couch transition frames remain).

I'm did a rough for an upwards Power attack, need to do one for a downwards power attack, and a standing turn attack (back + butto...

Not charging current patrons on May 1st

Just giving a quick news post. 

I'm not happy with my progress on Aurumo and Feliro that I've been trying to get out, and I haven't been able to implement missing things that I wanted done before the month was out. Some work on commissions was pushed to get those finished which also ate up potential time to work on the MUGEN content, and some of the animation work is taking longer than I'd like it to.

What I have done since ...
