I'm making the final stretch to finishing all of Geji's animation assets. Feels great. The main setback here was that I ended up redoing all of the older sets after I'd changed my animation style, which I'm finally happy and settled on.
The animation here is one of his victory poses which will also likely be used for character select screens when choozen.
Other issues in general over the long haul was trying to figure out exactly what I wanted out of my game, like for type of gameplay, controls, mechanics and such. The other thing was to cut away all the excess and and decided on what exactly to keep, and make the smaller feature set, more useful. I've finally figured out all of the core of that, any other ideas I'm not totally decided on can be played with in testing and tweeked. I'm still mainly focused on making the animations though. After Geji, I have a few enemy sets I wanna make, and a second character before focusing more on the programming. Focusing on one thing at a time has been useful, but also letting myself drift from time to time to satisfy inspiration as it hits me.
For MUGEN, yeah, Geji will be eventually made for download. Don't expect him to handle like a normal fighting game though. The controls and handling are prototypes for my actual game, letting him freely turn and jumping and blocking are buttons, not directional.
For my actual game, it'll be a bit long on that end since I'll be building most of my mechanics from scratch, but having a complete set of assets will make this a simpler task to build around. Focus on this will come out more as I have enemies to program as well, so that I can have all the foundational stuff made!
What's left for him at this point is just a few more bits of older frames to update and fill some asset gaps. I wanna just make a handful more state animations for him and then just finish his pretty effect stuff, which is the fastest part.
