Hello and Happy Valentines Day!

We've made it to Devlog #5 and a surprising amount of progress has been made!

The Start of a Cat Storm...

Progress So Far:

Rotten Alleyway

One of the most important areas in the game has finally come to life! I brought up plenty of times that backgrounds are my weak point, so I hunkered down and made something happen! So now we have the first hub area of the game set up!

The first hub area in the game: The Rotten Alleyway!

Finalized Animations!

I got around to the fixing up more of the Attack Animations in the game.

The only remaining attacks to do are the Aerial Light Attacks and the Grounded Heavy Attack!

Catat's New Attack Animations: Grounded Light Attacks!

Revised Dialogue Code!

I had to refactor a TON of my code for how the dialogue works in the game. The way I had it going before, it was just a simple typewriter effect that checked how much of the dialogue should be drawn. But that still meant that the entire thing was just one solid string. If I wanted to add text effects it'd be basically impossible unless I set up the code to draw every letter to the screen separately. So I did! And It works perfectly!

New Dialogue System allows for Color, Shake, And Wave Effects!

Kitt's Design!

Kitt's design has been finalized and I'm ready to start animating her! So far she's just been a second Catat following you around but not anymore! She has a ways to go before she's caught up with Catat but I'll be chipping away at it whenever I can!

New Music!

Catatattack has the First Song in it's OST: From the Top by @JordoPriceNG

This is gonna be the music for the initial tutorial section of the game! I can't wait to get around to it!

Visualizer for the JordoJams' Upload

What's Next?:

Everything is proceeding smoothly! Hopefully, I can get the Tutorial Section done in about a month or two. Then I'll be on good time to get some real levels done and ready for a Newgrounds Demo! I was thinking on the possibility of a Newgrounds High Score Contest for the Demo but I'll worry about that later!

Conclusion:

A lot more has happened than I expected to 2 weeks but I only see this as a good thing! If I can keep this pace I'm sure I could get even more people hyped up for the game when I have something proper to show for it! I'll be back with more!!!
