[Release Watch] Hal Jordan, Day 16

Wednesday, April 06, 2011

So tonight I cracked open my old, dead PC and dug out my hard drive full of MUGEN goodies, including the remixed version of Hal Jordan that my ScruffyDragon teammate SethZankuten did last year (sorry, it's not public yet), with an eye to grab a couple more things from his version to adapt (this was one of the three things ArmageddoN reminded me a few days ago that I'd wanted to do). Once I'd mounted that drive via external enclosure to my laptop, I grabbed what I needed, and brought that code in. The remixed, new-and-improved Emerald Swordsman is now complete.

I also tweaked the Black Lantern mode's Piercing Strike special to include a little forward momentum, further differentiating it from the regular Ring Strike moves. I'm pretty happy with Black mode now, and am thinking about cutting another YouTube vid of that mode in action.

That leaves me with just Orange Lantern mode's Construct Corps hyper to do, and it should be ready to show soon. And once that's done, he'll be ready for one final pass my my beta team. With any luck, we'll have a release by the weekend. :)

Status recap:

• tweaked Piercing Strike to have a little fwd momentum
• finished adapting Seth-tweaked Emerald Swordsman special

Now, off to bed!
