[Release Watch] Strong Guy, Day 1

Friday, January 06, 2012

Since this is taking longer than I had anticipated (real life complications mostly), I've decided to reinstate a practice I started on the march to finish Blackest Night Hal Jordan last year: the Release Watch. So here's what's left to do / finish before I feel Strong Guy is ready for his v2.0 release:

• code cleanup (move basics/specials/hypers to their own .st files)
• add lose on time over anim
• add draw game anim
• fix hypers to not give back power meter
• Revamp Kinetic Energy Bar (new sprites & code tweaks)
• Revamp basic attacks (strong kicks replaced with punches, reordered progression of attacks)
• De-cheapify basic combo chains
• Fix kinetic energy effects of grapples
• new special: Up You Go
• tweak damage/effects of Run Deep special
• new intro: Lila Cheney teleport
• tweak Touchdown hyper
• add recovery roll
• new audio for jacket-ripping intro
• new winpose: fatigued when kinetic energy level too high
• add dizzy state & effects
• improve heart attack (KO via heart damage from too much kinetic energy)
• new hyper: Spinning Piledriver
• "Hyper Combo Finish" hyper names displayed when win by hyper
• new hyper: Megaton Fury
• new hyper: X-Factor Attacks

Completed tasks: 19 of 21
Tasks remaining: 2

Hopefully this provides you a little perspective of how much is changing, and why it's taking longer than I anticipated. So, yeah. Keep it tuned to my RSS feed for updates as they happen.
