This one's Tier Two, the set made out of Tungsten- Tier One was already complete before I made this blog, but the Iron set is in the mod, too!

Designing armor for a large tail, on a snake-like body is REAL hard- Requiring a fair number of straps to keep it attached, but I think it's still really fun to make!

The spriting, however, is AGONY- Agony I am willing to endure-

NOTE: I always use the ""Female"" model for designing the armors, because "Female" isn't actually... "Female" in the game- I might explain how the Gender options in the Species mod actually work... sometime-

The goal I've been going for with Ryophi furniture and decorations is to really touch in on their somewhat discordant, "Interested in everything" nature, such that the furniture can reflect different species' styles and arts- From Hylotl's artsy nature, the natural furniture of the Florans, the Medieval arts from the Glitch and so on!

I'm gonna have several different sets of objects that have different mixtures of those cultures, but hopefully still can invite a little bit of chaos into the Ryophi's settlements and homes!

It's taken me WAY longer than it should have to figure out how to implement new, self-coded weapon abilities into the game- But! I've finally found a patch file that allows me to do so!

The ability is based somewhat off of the code for "Rising Slash" in the vanilla game, but with a bunch of push forwards, and a set of three slashes instead, to better demonstrate spiralling forwards!

Now that I know HOW to implement these weapon abilities I can get past that blocker and actually implement others, if I want to! May be a while before then, though-

After all, like, it's the most content, right? The characters have a lotta torso and you gotta draw over it for the armor and such- Not so! The torso's spritesheets are actually quite simple, as there are only 5 or so states the torso could be in- Idle, walking, swimming, jumping/falling, and crouched.

It's the fucking ARMS that are hard to sprite- Because they have 35 individual frames that are used for their animation.

and THAT can get tiresome, to stare at hands you've already drawn for a species and keep drawing the same thing but at slightly different angles-
