So... Nope. I don't think so. But at least adorable graphics and animations covers it.Skelegant said wrote:The lack of rotations is there for 3 reasons: 1, I couldn't be bothered adding rotations to everyone. 2, I actually prefer rotationless enemies (weird I know lol) and 3, I didn't want to put any more emphasis on the characters than was necessary (apart from the obvious "they gon' getcha, shoot them sistah" aspect")

Re: Hate Busters
Main file has been updated with a few bug fixes and two new playable characters, Liz and Kiranila.
The portal gun will eventually be a purchasable item, but until then I just stuck it in Liz's inventory so you can mess around with it
oh, and I added a charge effect to Olive's gun (altfire shoots rapidly without charging)

Re: Hate Busters
I forgot this was a thing Since I didn't end up adding it to the main game, I just uploaded the pacman bonus game I made a while ago (link is on the first page)

Re: Gloom Busters
I've renamed the game Gloom Busters, "hate busters" was an ok working title but it just sounds too serious and "Look everyone I'm trying to make a statement"esque. Gloom Busters sounds more lighthearted and cartoony, somehow
also did a bunch of updates:
Soda powerups are replaced with muffins (which won't rot your teeth out lol)
HUD is now "pretty blue" instead of "overbearing pink"
Any useable items appear beside the mugshot instead of replacing it
A few weapons have been balanced
The title and intermission pics have been improved (a litle)
A SECRET BOSS HAS APPEARED IN THE BASEMENT

Re: Gloom Busters
Now it's back on track, with decent name change, i see! Also that final boss sure looks red and angry!
Sugar-covered or not, they'll still rot your teeth if you eat 'em a lot(and gets fat more too)! But nice change, tho! Hehe.Skelegant wrote:Soda powerups are replaced with muffins (which won't rot your teeth out lol)

Re: Gloom Busters
Well yeah, I kinda meant "won't rot your teeth out as much as soda would" lol
I was actually gonna use scones instead but they just looked like lumps of playdoh mixed with grass. Muffins are easier to make recognisable sprites of (although they still look like garbage )

Re: Gloom Busters
Is there supposed to be a super shotgun replacement? because so far, all I've found is the default super shotgun.

Re: Gloom Busters
I have no excuse for that, that's just me being lazy I'll replace it eventually (along with all the gore decorations)

Re: Gloom Busters
Wow, this looks REALLY GOOD and cute!! I might just make a one-off playthrough showcase video of this on my channel. Really cool premise. Can't wait to see where it goes in the future!

Re: Gloom Busters
I appreciate the sentiment, but I'd advise you to wait til it's more finished (which may take a while sorry 
)
At the moment it still has a lot of weapon balancing issues which need dealing with, which, in a full run, end up making the game way too easy.

Re: Gloom Busters
double post oops
Got some spare time so I'm doing the balancing and stuff and a few new sprites, how do these char select portraits look?
I want them to contrast with the regular style, kinda like the mugshots from Metal Slug, but I don't want them standing out so much they ruin the aesthetic.
