Catastrophy: In Development

[Gredler]

The Beez Kneez.  Knees support the rest of the body, you support the Turbo!

The Bee's Knees are the Cat's Pijamas, and meow.

[CrackTiger]

I like Bee's Knee's.

[Arkhan Asylum]

I like Bee's Knee's.

If she gets down on her bees knees and lets out the boo bees, we're set for a good time.

[spenoza]

*facepalm* Really? That's where you go with that?

It's a win win again.

If you were to reconsider doing "Obey Bee", I had someone do a couple of voice samples for it.

[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.

[CrackTiger]

Very cool. Please make him an unlockable playable character.

[elmer]

Love him!   

[Arkhan Asylum]

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



heeeheeee

Sophistikitty. :3

This bastard has class.

[OldRover]

FUCK YEAH.

[NightWolve]

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!

[Gredler]

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!!

[turboswimbz]

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

[DildoKKKobold]

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.

[NecroPhile]

That compression though.

[DildoKKKobold]

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.)

[CrackTiger]

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

[LostFlunky]

Looking good guys!   Cool effect with the shadows.

[sirhcman]

Have to play in 60fps to see the shadows "properly"

[Gredler]

DK the programming wizard, great job dude!

[DildoKKKobold]

BLACK MAGIC! WIZARDRY!

[Arkhan Asylum]

MIGHT AND MAGIC.

[NecroPhile]

Very nice.  She's coming along nicely.

Youtube really took a shit on that first video.  Thanks, Obama!

100 pts awarded to the entire Catastrophy Crüe!!!

I love everything.

DK asked me to post an update, and since we've recently made some progress both to share and to hold behind the curtain I figured I might as well

We recently got the final level to a very nice point graphically, and now DK is smoothing out the edges on the animation and level design. A few small polish things visually and that level will be at the same point of completion as the shown shower level, but we will not be showing the final level since it would spoil the fun of what the last level is. We've bookended the project with a 80% done first level "Slippery Situation" a.k.a. the shower level, and now this 75% done last level "Doggone Dilemma".

We've continued working on the vacuum level, and there's a lot on my plate for that, so when I have some art to show - or DK has any new gameplay to show - we will share that when it's available.

I recently updated the HP Bar, and DK thought that'd be fun to share. Thank you Sarumaru for the placeholder we've used up until now, but I wanted to make something that is more noticeable when it changes, and something that matches the look of the player's character :catastrophy:



Sorry I don't have more to share with you all, but hopefully we keep up the recent momentum and have more to share soon. Thanks for the interest.
