[Release Watch] Sinestro, Day 1

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Now that I'm all but done with Strong Guy 2.0 (expect a release very soon), it's time to turn my attention back to Sinestro 1.0, so welcome to my next Release Watch!

Late last year I posted a Dev Plan for Sinestro. That, plus a few other things I've since added to the plan, will form the outline I'll be tracking here:

Sinestro 1.0 progress

Dev Plan

• forward jump
• backward jump
• taunt
• new intro: oath scene from Sinestro Corps War #1
• new intro: ???
• new win pose: stand & laugh over P2
• lose / draw game animations
• add missing basic attacks:
  • crouching weak punch
  • crouching medium punch
  • crouching weak kick
  • crouching medium kick
  • at least one throw
• add "powered" versions (with constructs) for basic attacks that don't have them yet:
  • crouching light punch
  • crouching medium punch
  • crouching hard punch
  • crouching light kick
  • crouching medium kick
  • crouching hard kick
  • air light punch
  • air medium punch
  • air hard punch
  • air light kick
  • air medium kick
  • air hard kick
• special attacks to be done:
  • Morningstar
  • Armored Assault (low-damage Psycho Crusher style move)
• hyper attacks:
  • Sinestro Corps (helper gang attack)
  • Parallax Unleashed
  • Master of Fear (yellow core hyper assist)

Bugs

• sound for standing hard punch sometimes doesn't play
• Tweak basic attack damage to be stronger with the constructs
• Launcher needs superjump follow
• no landing sound on jump
• hair gray streak in most palettes should be toned down
• teeth in most sprites should be white, not yellow/green/gray
• falling axes in Fall Before Me don't have hitsparks
• cpunch3 and taunt constructs need to be folded into the core palette so they can be recolored
• Some animations need collision boxes:
  • 240 (skick2)
  • 260 (skick3)
  • 660 (akick3)
  • 1120 (deadly stare end)

Completed tasks: 9 of 29
Fixed bugs: 3 of 9
Total tasks remaining: 26

Still a lot to do, but my ScruffyDragon teammate Bizarro Toro is helping a lot. I'll show off some of his contributions soon.
