“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. )

// Commentary Corner: 

The fun thing is that almost all of these items could easily be turned into real merchandise, so that’s something to look forward to. Neat designs!

I can’t help but wonder if we’re going to see some of the NPCs / story-characters using these same items in-character as part of the story or as a matter of background dressing, without addressing the videogamey nature of them fundamentally.

vivianofree: Hey, look, it’s a dragon girl ~ the one from Freedom Planet. 😀 Yup, decided it was time to make a new Lilac picture, since her new design for FP2 is really cool. Buuut, see, this picture is incomplete – still needs shading and a background! Thus, I am summoning the FP fandom for … Continue reading →

Sweet, a new Freedom Planet 2 screencap! This appears to showcase progress so far on the Museum Stage mentioned over on the FP2 Alpha Soundtrack. Screencap was pointed out by NBlast over on the Freedom Planet Forums. This image comes from the TIGForums where GalaxyTrail is seeking additional pixel artists to develop FP2 graphical assets.
