Well, during my downtime I went back & played it. Or tried to anyway. The animations were so bad I quit before I got to the bar. I don't mean Playshapes' artwork, that's outstanding as always. I mean everywhere I animated it. It was just hard to watch. The punch & kick animation are both glitchy, like they're missing half their frames. And for whatever reason I have Kay's head on funny as well - it doesn't sit on her neck correctly. It's bad enough to make me want to go back & re-make the game.
(This is the middle frame of animation from the punch. It's supposed to be an elbow smash IIRC, but instead it looks like her arm is cut off)
Anyway, I am in fact working on LotTO again. The color options are done, but buggy. In certain grapples, some body parts revert back to their original color, and I have no idea why. I'll battle it again later, for now I'm simply noting where it happens. Seems to always be hands & feet, which are also the sprites that often change layers & have the most variety. So I have to believe it has something to do with one of those. But everything I've checked so far says that's not the case. I'll keep looking, I'm sure it'll turn out to be something stupid. Not that that's ever happened before... ;P
(New fetish time! Ladies with multi-colored legs!)
Update - Turns out the problem was in fact something pretty dumb, and had very little to do with how I'm setting the color. The other thing hands & feet have in common is that they are both used in the unarmed attack. In order to for the code to check if you're hitting something, I had to name both of them in the property menu. Looks like I was sloppy with some copy/paste, as there were multiple body parts with the same name in any given frame of animation. For example, in the picture above both of LeiLei's feet were named 'foothitbox'. Kinda funny that this is the first time it cropped up as a problem, seems like it would have caused other errors before this. Anyway, problem found & fixed, moving on. =)
And lastly, while I was on break there was one more game I played that really deserves your attention. The Legend of Queen Opala II. Much like my game, what's posted is only the first half of the game, but what's there is really good if you like old school RPG's. Fair warning, if you don't like HUGE tits or beastiality, then the porn isn't going to appeal to you. Also, it's heavy on 'game' & light on 'porn' imo. Still, I played through what's there twice, something on the order of 40 hours, so clearly I liked it.
Looking forward to 2012 :)

Im a fan of your work, you're great and I wish I had the time to do my own games as well... you certainly have improved a lot!! Happy new year! Good luck in your adventures of making a hentai rpg!!!
ReplyDeleteerrr.. excuse me...
ReplyDeletemaybe the problem is that the color variable is a constant in somewhere, may you should redefine the classes of bodyparts to load the color configuration of an object called "colorsConfig", also, you can load from another object from the same class the default color values. Animations should load the color config on every grape.
well.. it's only an idea :P
see you! happy new year!
Queen opala is a long game how did you play through it twice?
ReplyDeletehahaha i remember playing kfox and the magic sword 2 years ago and loving it. it still has its charm despite the flaws you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteby the way i love the rpg elements in your current game, especially being able to equip different clothes and items.
I love the game so far and if it's not too much work could you make a dirtymode like you did with furryfury?
ReplyDeleteOne thing i've noticed is with the female rabbit enemies since your last update the thigh has been showing up outside of the small dress type clothing, which looks fairly odd to me.
ReplyDeleteWow its been 2 years? Hard to believe I've been following since the first day playshapes released his first porn game. Feels a lot shorter you know?
ReplyDeleteI grabbed Queen Opala due to your recommendation of it and it's definitely a solid game; but, like you said, it doesn't have a strong focus on H scenes. In fact, I missed the first H scene in the game without even knowing it(you have to lose to the guards in the castle/surrender), but thankfully it's a good RPG even without the porn elements.
