Catastrophy: In Development

[Gredler]

Just a little update to let everyone know we're still working on it. DK has recently figured out a cool idea on how to introduce more background variety to the Vacuum level, and I've found a couple breaks where I could work on it a little to start making some things. We're trying to become more classy, one might say more dapper.

[Black Tiger]

Very cool. Please make him an unlockable playable character.

[elmer]

Love him!   

[Arkhan]

I dunno.  That bowtie makes him look like a bit of a pussy.



heeeheeee

Hey, alternate version of Top Cat AKA T.C.!

Top Cat!
The indisputable leader of the gang.
He's the boss, he's a VIP, he's a championship.
He's the most tip top,Top Cat.
Yes, he's the chief, he's a king,
But above everything,He's the most tip top,
Top Cat!

Well nightwolve, thanks for the reference! I need to go back and purple up this pimp, hell yeeeahh!!

Also need to add a stripe to the hat (I didn't like that plane poorly shaded look anyways - adding a stripe will help)

BTW - I am a lagger who's been stuck in hyrule and wedding plans, so I have not done anything since this cat - DK is making progress soldiering through with placeholder art though, so progress trickles on!

Excuses excuses!!

GIVE ME MORE - updates  . . . please.  also very nice work so far gredler.

Here's a new level underway - unfortunately, the youtube downsampling to 30 fps screws up the bird shadows. This also illustrates my "wonderful" art skills.

I'd also like to note that there has been a ton of progress on the final level. Its nearing completion of the programming and art assets. However, we'd really like to keep the content of that one as a secret (as much as we can) for the players. It's by far the most intense use of graphics and animation to date. We hope you'll love it when the game is finally released.

[Necromancer]

That compression though.

[DarkKobold]

That compression though.

Yeah, I really need to learn how the TAS encoders do this stuff, because I clearly don't have the first clue what I'm doing. They're really good at doing some sort of frame blending to create stuff that does 30 fps well, and doesn't get shit on by youtube's compression algorithm.

If anyone really wants to see what it looks like, they can download this.

(You'll have to actually download it. Google's internal player still screws everything up.)

The parts with the shadows before the birds swoop down look really cool.

[Lost Monkey]

Looking good guys!   Cool effect with the shadows.
