Hey! Just a quick heads-up for those that didn't already see on Discord:

I'm in the process of moving, and will start moving things into my new place starting Monday! If you're lucky, I might be able to sneak in a little post at the end of next week.  It's basically in the same city, so nothing too crazy!

I did manage to sneak in a little dev this week. I fully integrated Kai's Fleece Dialogue tool that I mentioned in the last dev post! I did some slight mods to it to update the UI, but other than that, I'm now getting rid of a lot of junk I was using before!

I'm also able to include GameEvents into the system in a much cleaner way AND use them inside of Unity's Timeline system, basically allowing me to animate cutscenes and have them pause when dialogue pops up.

Piti Yindee also worked on updating Pile's model sheet for his sprites:

Pile's design has pretty much evolved from a combination of me, Piti, Haps, and Clipey's efforts, so there's a little bit of everyone's design in him now!

Animation Practice

Some of you probably saw an older version of this, but felt a bit anxious art-wise because I haven't been able to really sit down to animate/draw over the last few weeks, so thought I'd update this animation of Drop some:

Enamel Pin Update

I've packaged and/or sent out pretty much all the pin orders (I think I might have 1 or 2 international pins left to ship) as of today. Quite the learning experience shipping all of those pins out!

That's pretty much it for this update!

Oh, check out this art piece of Frost by BobbyLontra! Turned out really cool ~ https://twitter.com/BobbyLontra/status/1134136935038029825

The cool cat that’s high tech…

T.O is a panther and member of the Criterion Crew, representing the pollutant Ground Level Ozone (Also known as Tropospheric Ozone).

(T.O was designed by @eclipticafusion!)

(Sprite Concepts by Piti Yindee!)

T.O is fairly social and often works with the Raggoons and other Criterion members when needed. A self-proclaimed genius; he comes off as arrogant and pompous, but also kinda lazy when “really hard work” is involved. He also really hates being outwitted.

In battle, T.O utilizes certain tools, and is rarely seen without the company of other pollutants. He can power himself and his tools using sunlight, and a combination of other gasses emitted by his allies, then combining them to create his own gas.

One of T.O’s guilty pleasures is lounging about and watching old movies collected by the raggoons. His biggest pet-peeve is starting a show or movie series and finding out he doesn’t have all the episodes or sequels. He also has a lot of old tech that he should really look into upgrading...

Temper is a stout hedgehog with a rather variable personality. He's the Climate Committee's representative for Temperature.

One would think he’s angry all of the time; his mood is actually influenced by the amount of energy he has stored up.

Temper is the “team dad” of the climate committee. He’s no-nonsense and tries to keep everyone focused, though often through intimidation. He’s quick to assess a situation, and even quicker jumping into action (if motivated that is).

Surprisingly, he can be quite reasonable if you know how to approach him.

Temper was originally designed by me, but was fleshed out more with the help of Keysa!

(Early sprite concept done my Rachel Yew)

In battle, Temper is able to manipulate the temperature in a given area, which has effects on the area itself and those around him, sometimes complimenting his battle partners, or putting his foes at a disadvantage. He’s also able to manipulate to flow energy, allowing him to "heat things up", or absorb energy from targets.

In terms of hobbies, Temper is quite the card player. From playing cards to collectible trading cards, you’ll see a whole new side of him if you get him heated up.

So, Pile's not one to care much about how he dresses, but that hasn't stopped us from giving him something adequate enough to wear to work.

We decided to go for something that demonstrates his tendency of wearing things that aren't exactly his size and wearing accessories that might not serve a practical purpose and could be hazardous in a working environment.

In short, he just likes things that are comfy and easy to... pick up off the floor and put on.

Haps worked on this concept as one of his first assignments! Piti also worked on a draft of his sprite, and Clipey did the concepts on the top of this post.
