Heyo! Quick peek at what I've been working on recently: an automatic video editor!

This will allow me to show how my projects evolve, castagne tutorials and changelogs, and rendering videos! The editing time has always been an issue before, but this should fix that.

Realized it's been so long since I posted anything on Molten because dev goes too fast now, I got like 5 playable characters
I also upgraded the prototype sprites with COLOR so they can stay up for a while! It will allow iterating on the gameplay a lot more

I know I should wait for my tech to be more stable, to get more experience, finish some other things before I go back to Kronian but like... I gotta do it sometimes

That prototyping pipeline was so good I had to implement it there too, with seamless switching to sprites

AI can't handle my glitched move

What I like about Molten Winds is the restraint of the design - I only have two buttons so attack slots are limited, making for a more focused, pure and simple game.

Anyway here's a 7 attack rekka that takes only one slot and needs a resource to activate.

Late night addition... characters now drop their weapon on death. No real reason, I just thought it would be funny / cool. Everybody has a unique weapon of sorts, so it's universal.

The fun part of making some moves easier is that you can find stupid combos

Anyway another character added to the prototype, the speed of iteration allowed me to find the fun in a few days even though I was stuck in how he would play! Highly speed focused as you can tell.

It's incredible to have the complete regular moveset in two days dang, and this guy has like twice the moves of others!
Yesterday's combo with actual mechanics, you can only use it at level 8 as an anchor but it's a strong fullscreen confirm! I'll show individual moves later.

So uh new workflow is pretty efficient... 19 attacks in one day lmao, that's half his moveset! Including his custom mechanics! All playable!

Returning characters end up a lot saucier than I expected, Aster's gonna be a menace at high levels

Castagne now has a real AI system! It's gonna stay simple / manual for a while, but you can randomize strings and react to distances / blocking.
See it in action here! It's doing a string on block and combo on hit!

Wind is now on all anims! Here's another combo to show it

Also showing the other options after the knee strike. Character has a pretty complete moveset now, will have to choose between taking a break from it or adding the rest
#moltenwinds #fgc

Still WIP, but the moveset is now rounded out! Recapture into a knockdown and 2 OTG hits for good measure!

Still have to polish and put the wind in, but it's got some good flow!

Finally added wind to a more complex attack, Ourania's 8M. Good for ending blockstrings and combos. The dynamic wind affects mostly the end which is a sustainable way to add it.

+ bonus combo because I really like the OTG even if it has no wind lol
