FP2 Lilac Running Animation Tweak

https://twitter.com/SDiDuro/status/817955526873059328

“Note to self: Legs don’t swing back and forth when running, they go through a cycling motion.” – SDiduro, https://twitter.com/SDiDuro/status/817955526873059328

// Commentary Corner: 

While the difference between the two animations might not be immediately apparent, you can most easily see the change by focusing on the knees and the motion of the lower leg relative to that.

Here’s a Bit of Trivia About Sprite Sizes Between FP1 and FP2

 

“Here’s a comparison of FP1 and FP2, with the FP2 screenshot resized to the same dimensions and a line guide added to compare sprite dimensions:

[image]

When both screenshots are scaled to the same size, the size of Lilac’s sprite and the hitbox are identical. (FP2’s Lilac looks smaller because of her more humanlike proportions.)

Essentially, this allows me to design levels the exact same way as I would in FP1. I won’t be taking auto-zooming into consideration when designing levels because it’s something that the player can turn off if they want to, and it should never feel like the zoom feature is necessary to make the game easier to play.” – SDiDuro

Happy Freedom Planet Day!

*WARNING*: THE MUSIC AND VIDEO PRESENTED DEPICTS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
THESE MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE SAME IN THE FINAL GAME.

“From @GalaxyTrail on Twitter:

Hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays! In the meantime, we have a few announcements!

Freedom Planet 2: Sample Version will be available at the end of January as a free download, and include all playable characters.

We’ll be sharing gameplay videos of each heroine over the next few weeks, starting now with Lilac!

Lastly, we’ll be showing off the demo in person at PAX South! Find us in San Antonio, TX on January 27-29.

We’ve got a busy and exciting few weeks ahead of us and we hope you’ll like what we have in store!”

 

// Commentary Corner:

Quick bullet list of sections of note:

  • The Guard Gauge(?) blinks on and off until just after the Energy Bar fills (@13), but doesn’t appear to empty when an attack is successfully guarded against (@17).
  • @31: Boost-rolling now applies even when falling in the air, but applies a deceleration just before takeoff.
  • @41: Lilac can now perform Rising Slash while in the air. (The “High Uppercut” exploit in FP1 becomes an Ascended Glitch.)
  • @42: Enemies can destroy some sections of the level, and this doesn’t appear to be mandatory.
  • @58: Getting items from chests now displays text indicating what was in the chest.
  • @1:00: CAMERA ZOOM-OUT OPTIONS!
  • @1:01: Shields/Barriers now seem to manifest as a flying follower and change based on element. In addition, shield/barrier health is displayed on the health bar with icons indicating the element. We see the Earth and Fire manifestations in particular.
  • @1:07: Rainbow rings appear similar to the Dragon Rings (or “Time Gates”). When activated, a bar near the bottom displays :crystal:BONUS:crystal:. It seems like the more distance traveled during that time will give more bonus crystals when it ends.
  • @1:16: Boss health bar. It might be placeholder, as FP1 had placeholder health bars at some time, but it might be here to stay.
  • @1:30: Revivals in action.
  • @1:38: I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT IT LOOKS COOL

 

@1:41 Speculation of a fourth possible playable character. Given the timing until the demo arrives at PAX and the promise to upload videos for all playable characters, this does line up and could be anything. (I’m kinda hoping it’s Neera, Cory, or Merga, personally.) When pointed out that Milla isn’t typically associated with read, another way to interpret it is: Milla Cube Green, Carol Bike Red, Lilac Boost Lilac, and ?Mystery?Flavor? (Note that speculation is just that. Don’t be disappointed if this does not occur. )

Oh neat, the Milla plushie might become a real thing! This Sash Lilac plush even has the logo on it and everything. Nice!

Also, I can’t help but notice that the plushe almost looks fused with the one adjacent to it.

Interested in watching the Assistant Producer and Voice Actress for Sash Lilac from Freedom Planet play through Freedom Planet live? Check out Dawn’s Twitch channel at 6:00 PM CST this Friday! (This has changed since last week!)

Jason Lord: voice of General Serpentine, voice of General Gong, and Audio Mixer form FP2; and Stephen DiDuro: Creator of Freedom Planet, GalaxyTrail’s Founder, “Weh”, and FP2’s Executive Producer will be accompanying Dawn for this stream. There will probably be banter and interesting trivia this time around!

The game will be resuming in Story Mode just after the conclusion of Pangu Lagoon and the reveal of the true nature of the Superior Quality Bath Bomb Kingdom Stone.

(Note: This is expected to be a casual stream environment. There might be some voice-play related shenanigans, but do not expect the stream to be done as the character of Lilac/Gong/BirdOfficer. Please refrain from Freedom Planet 2 questions unless the hosts give permission to do so.)

The Freedom Planet Speedrun for #ESA16 will be starting… at some point either after Donkey Kong or Chip & Dale. So either in about 10 minutes or another 60 minutes. It’s been really hard keeping up with the perpetual schedule shifts for this event.

SuccinctAndPunchy will be running Lilac% and providing commentary.

@Knuxfan24 and @Mario123311 team up to make this voiceover edit of a Lilac mod for Sonic Lost World. Really cool lookin’ stuff! Has me a tiny bit tempted to pick up Lost World on Steam.
