[Release Watch] Strong Guy, Day 4

Thursday, January 12, 2012

So I shared my in-development version of Strong Guy with McCready last night to get his feedback, and he's provided it. That adds a few more minor bugs/tweaks to my list, but Megaton Fury and Touchdown will be better for it. I've also started the X-Factor Attacks hyper, but there's not really enough to show off yet, maybe tomorrow.

Remix tasks

• 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
