Excited to share that, by the barest definition of the word, we finally have Gameplay. It's janky and needs work, but two characters can move around (even more than shown), block attacks, get hit, and "die" (disable their input). Still hard to believe it honestly x.x

Drew the characters from @tytaneum.bsky.social 's game "Project FiGHtem"! The sprites reminded me a lot of Kamen Rider and Mega-Man so I tried to channel that energy, and I think I succeeded!

Still not sure I'm happy with the bangs but I'm calling this done before I start getting even more in the weeds with details. Gonna try to simplify this a bit so that animating it won't be hell and then I'm jumping headfirst into animating my first character. Wish me luck x.x

I know I haven't posted anything manatrigger related in a while, sorry. Been really struggling in my personal life so it's been hard to work on it since I don't get paid to do it. Things are starting to look up though, so have this WIP of Nova's idle pose. Hopefully more to share soon. 💜

Well that didn't take long @.@
Once again, thank you to everyone showing interest in me and/or my work, that alone already means a lot 💜
I don't have much to celebrate with, so here's a clip of what I worked on over the weekend <.<

Just under the wire for #ScreenshotSaturday (don't look at the time I promise it was done at 11:50) I have a very exciting update for ManaTrigger:
I now have the basic system for hits, blocking, healthbars and death working! Most of the way there to a basic gameplay loop!

It's still technically #ScreenshotSaturday so although I couldnt get the gameplay I worked on to actually work today, here's the final version of that Nova art I was working on before! Gonna try and get portraits like this done for the first four characters soon, so stay tuned for those! 💜

I am once again attempting to iterate on Nova's design lol. Gotten a lot better at art since I last drew her and I think I need to change some things to bring her back towards the fantasy vibe. The boots especially I think need changing but I'm not sure what to do with them oof

Axl changes are....puzzling, but interesting. Increasing his damage across the board is funny (Axl bomber is going to EXPLODE people now) but losing Rainwater Vacuum makes me sad.
Wish they were more specific about this though cause it might make up for it.

Still working on a full ref for her but here's Tomoka!
....I'm also thinking of changing her hair a little bit to have something like the ponytail in the old picrew I used for her but either style works for now

Axl (Strive)
Bullet (Blazblue)
Yuzuriha (UNI)
Katalina (Granblue)
It was hard to narrow down to four, so honorable mentions to Orie, +R/Xrd Baiken, Yang Xiao Long, Neo/Naoto S., and Spectre DNF

Finally coming over here for real after twitter's latest fiasco, figure I'll get to posting stuff that I forgot to post here and catch people up to speed.
First up, a real Tomoka design and a new logo!

Here's the initial design for the next character, Snow! Feel like something might be missing but I'm not sure yet, so something will probably be added to this between now and actually putting them in the game

I suppose I should at least share this here as well, so once again here is the main character of my game, Nova. I'm sure people are tired of seeing just this image but I promise more is coming ahahaha
