Buyog's Lair

Welcome to today's Release Watch update for Strong Guy. I've finished the segment of the X-Factor Attacks hyper involving the Madrox clones, tweaked Quicksilver's (again, I think for the last time now), and started building out the stubs for the final segment of the hyper, with Havok and Polaris, which should be pretty straightforward, because they're both just beam attacks, and I've done plenty of those. Oh, and as I promised yesterday, I have screenshots of the finished portions of the hyper:

This puts my remaining task count at 1.6 of 5 sub-parts to the hyper, and the 2 camera bug fixes (which really are both the same issue in two different places, so when I fix one the other will be trivial):

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
