REX MOD IS (basically) OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i still have heaps of stuff left to do before its 100% done but you can play the WIP build now and see what ive gotten up to for the past 2 weeks or so

RiskOfRexReturns v1.0.0

..and so they left, growing anew with every step. | WORK IN PROGRESS RELEASE

couple disclaimers:

i did not playtest this at all beyond basic error testing

i havent added the scepter upgrade yet

i am only kind of sorry if your game crashes halfway through a run

[syntaxevasion]

already had to push out a patch because of some dumb bullshit i didnt test whatsoever 🔥🔥🔥🔥

ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO ALSO WHILE I REMEMBER I HAVE THIS PIECE OF SHIT BLOG

for the 7 people on planet earth that are still interested in rex in risk of rain returns (theyre probably ripping their shirts off and spinning it over their heads rn) I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THINGS!!!!!!!! that being said i got really unhappy with the direction the big logbook sprite went, so i decided id scrap the background stuff, stop working on this and take a break by drawing something else, then circle back to this when my heads a little clearer

now that i dont really have anything big on my plate i think my first priority will be learning how to get the character skills and everything working in-game first, and leave this gigantic ass sprite for last. the api for modding ror returns actually got a pretty big overhaul just lately so ill have to redo all my progress so far.. but apparently it should be easier to do the things i was trying to sledgehammer through before like damage based lifesteal, so thatll be interesting to go through

one last thing: (yes i am late but) merry christmas and a happy new year to everyone! hope you had as much of a blast celebrating the festivities as i did with my family smiley face

oogugh,,..,, what year is it,........ 👴who dares disturb my eternal slumber,...,,,,..

been playing one step from eden again in my spare time, if you havent heard of it before its a real-time deckbuilder/roguelite inspired by mega man battle network. give it a look-see (or dont, i dont really care)

anyways now that im FINALLY DONE drawing something i can focus on other more productive things like/.... uh...... ffffuck............... !!!!

[syntaxevasion]

the lea has arrived ⚠️⚠️⚠️

lea plushie is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aside from that i promise im still alive; ive been pushing myself to work on rex's logbook portrait and between being unmotivated in general and also trying to stay consistent with a style in not familiar with, progress hasnt been fast

i have some more descryption sprites i could upload later but thats about it

i also keep forgetting i like. have a tumblr so sorry for the drought lol

[syntaxevasion]

laptop works again now so thats pretty hype !

rate of posting will increase by exactly 0% repeating but at least i can play deep rock galactic again so thats pretty awesome

[syntaxevasion]

woke up this morning and my laptop just died so expect literally zero posts from me ever again until the end of time its over shut it all down

[syntaxevasion]

non-exhaustive collection of animations ive been working on for rex - he also has a death animation but i want to polish it first

also i got bored of being productive so heres 3 palettes i drafted up, left 2 are based on his mastery and meridian skins and rightmost is judgment but it kinda looks ass. these are probably going to change later though to fit the red/blue/yellow/green scheme better and i also need to give him a third one

im too lazy to boot up the game to test it rn but theoretically he has sound effects for m1 and shift (which are his only working moves rn)

also my term started this week so expect even less posts lol

[syntaxevasion]

shitty ryo because i need to draw something and i cant draw anything and also im washed so i asked one of my oomfs for something to draw and this is what i got so whatever

sorry for not posting in 5 thousand years (not that sorry) backflips and opens deep rock galactic

[syntaxevasion]

thought to myself yesterday 'finally finished recording some good progress, i should post it on tumbler or something' and then immediately clocked out and forgot to post it until now

everything i showed here is all the progress on him so far, next up is learning how to make him shoot properly (dies of doesnt know how to do lua) and make him climb and die and stuff

[syntaxevasion]

behold my Sacred Technique... Hyper Ultra Double Post Attack............ 👊👊👊👊👊👊💥💥💥💥💥

[syntaxevasion]

me whem im 🤖🪴

my stupid chud son is now real

no one asked but my exams have been done for a while now i am just chronically afflicted with task paralysis so this took 5x longer than it should have (hashtag awesome)

[syntaxevasion]

havent drawn anything lately because of this fuckass game

its pretty fun talking to people

silence foul knave. Gigantic Piss Manta Ray Blast Death Attack

[pixelprofligate]

The last, last fucking thing we need to be doing right now is trying to pin blame on whoever for this shit. That's the fucking reason this shit keeps happening, because we're already tearing into each other, making enemies of each other, instead of trying to actually be organized and doing something productive. It doesn't matter who is to blame, not now. It's done, it's happened, we need to look forward and figure out what the fuck we're going to do instead of looking at the results and trying to pin this on someone else so we can feel better. Look fucking foward.

[syntaxevasion]

no fuckimg way ,.,,, birtdy

if you told 14yo me that hed be drawing pixel art on a frequent basis in 5 years his dumbass head would implode and create a neutron star

its been both really scary and really fun doing this kind of stuff that id never thought i would do in a billion years but im definitely gonna keep going and see where i end up :3

[syntaxevasion]

holy FUCK that last post popped off like crazy <3 heres some more descryption stuff weve been working on

the (as of now) full lineup of menu cards, from left to right: story mode, rogue run, duels, puzzles, compendium (list of cards and sigils, explanation of game mechanics, or other important stuff), options, quit

hot new sexy trait displays for the gbc style

starter deck display screen, the last two being onyx and spells

rogue runs begin by having you sacrifice three of the five scrybes (refer to the last post), and the two remaining scrybes are the ones you've chosen to use their cards, nodes, bosses, in your run each scrybe has their own 8 starter decks which are all progressively unlocked a la kaycee mod - you can also see there's a second screen of decks to choose from

the scrybe of artistry galliard and his underlings: the scout, cartographer, and playwright he was once a pupil of magnificus but a difference of opinions caused the two to have a falling out, which is elaborated on in the story mode

some more artistry cards and full-art spells (full-arts will only display their sigils/stats when moused over so just imagine my cursor is over all 4 of them at once)

this one isn't actually descryption related, just some shitpost-y sprites or cards that didn't make the cut
