“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. )

Just a quick heads up the Jason Lord, voice of General Serpentine and General Gong in Freedom Planet and Freedom Planet 2 will be livestreaming one of his custom controllers “Ultra Redundancy Machine” in roughly 20 minutes. I have no idea what game will be played, but it could be a fun time!

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.)

// Commentary Corner:

FP Fan Dazl: It’s no secret that I’ve been fond of the Corazon Tea character from the moment the concept got fleshed out with a name and a desc.

 

And now we have a voice

And I am pleased

I screamed

I AM SO HYPE

CANNOT CONTAIN THIS HYPE

FREEDOM PLANET 2 IS COMING AND I JUST. CAN’T. WAIT.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW YEAH

 

"Make Things Better" Dazl: okay in all seriousness there's some stuff that I think is probably just gonna need a bit of post editing for clarity or whatever. like heck if I know what the first few words she said in that clip were. 
but whatever, 

this is notwhat I expected from the little bit of canonical art of the character has her all frowning/scowling all the time forever

but I kinda- 

FP Fan Dazl: I KINDA FREAKING LOVE ENTHUSIASM AND ENTHUSIASTIC CHARACTERS

THIS IS ENTHUSISM

ALSO I ALREADY LIKED THE CHARACTER

CHARACTER I AM PREDISPOSED TO LIKE + ENTHUSIASTIC LOUD COOL PILOT ACE =

PLEASE GIVE FREEDOM 2 NYAOW

i can wait until the game is done

I think

@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.

~The Secret Superdog Guide to Mastering Alchemy and Defying Physics Through Trained Transmutation, Chapter 1~

Flutterjump: Performed by holding Jump in the air.

Shield: Performed by holding Special. Creates a frontal barrier that can deflect attacks and damage enemies.

Burst: Performed by releasing Special after a Shield.

Phantom Block: Performed by holding Attack for a certain amount of time. The cube itself and the sparkling formation of a cube both function as a raised shield, and can deflect attacks. Shield Crystals, bombs, Flower Pods can be lifted to replace the Phantom Block if Milla approaches them while holding or forming a block.
Toss: Performed by pressing the attack button while holding a Phantom Block or any other object.

Super Shield: Performed by holding Special while holding a Phantom Block. The block creates a LARGE frontal shield with better coverage.

Super Shield Burst: Performed by releasing Special after a Shield. This attack deals good damage at a longer range than the other girls can reach AND the entire duration of the attack also counts as a projectile-deflecting barrier. Best of all, using this gives Milla an immediate burst of speed.

Super Shield Boost: Releasing a downwards-diagonal SSBurst immediately after jumping gives Milla a huge boost of speed from recoil. She will quickly lose that speed if she is gaining height, but if she is falling (for example, by hitting a ceiling during the SSBoost) she can KEEP the speed and even follow it up with another SSBoost! When falling after a short hop, or shortly after Milla has run off of a platform, using a horizontal SSBurst will still allow her to keep the recoil boost of speed. The trick is to release the the SSBurst as soon as possible after initiating the jump or beginning to fall to prevent Jumping Air Drag.

Air Drag: If the player character is moving upwards, their horizontal velocity will decay. This general rule applies to all characters, but is particularlly noticible from the harsh slowdown after one or two good SSBoosts with no ceiling.

Flutterblocking: If Milla is falling when she performs a Super Shield Burst (for example, just after hitting a ceiling, or when doing the burst in one of the Jade Creek drops) she can start forming a new Phantom Block as soon as the Super Shield Burst animation ends. However, the player presses and holds Attack and Jump at almost the same time when the conditions to make a new Cube is available, Milla will begin to Flutterjump while creating a new Phantom Block.

Demonstrated above: If care is taken such that each SSBoost is only performed while Milla is FALLING, it is possible for her to chain several Flutterblocks together. It looks cool, it makes certain bosses easier, and it can be used to save herself if she’s falling in one of the few levels that has a death pit.
