Dreamstar Chars WIP thread

[Cosmic Emerald]

Hello chat, welcome to the Dreamstar Characters WIP thread! :D

I'll post stuff from time to time here about the characters that'll be in this pack, namely:

Phoenix
Nilly
Michelle (Crystilla)
Caliburn
Xalia
and Eblo


So far: the first 5 named have decently developed movesets and models that can at the very least supply their main gameplay.

Phoenix is by far the most developed, in both sprites and polish, Nilly being the runner up, missing most her diagonals and side angles, with those missing angles being prerendered and Michelle is at the very least completely prerendered, while Caliburn and Xalia visually only have their stnda2a8 & hud set up...

Xalia's the only one not fully finished with her moveset, still needing the other half of her controls set up, and a whole skill tree idea needing to be implemented, so that'll probably be cool

Oh and if I manage it, Phoenix & Nilly have a chance of coming out by next year, but I'll have to crunch my time, probably

---

Quite A bit later on, I'll probably add sections relating to their movesets so that you can look at em in full detail, but for now, jut go enjoy the characters! :D

Guhh remind me to finish this later,,,

Spoiler: Phoenix's moveset !!!

Main Ability: Battery Dash


Spin ability: Electron Rush & Static Spin

Jump Spin ability: Volt Volley

also from time to time I'll be hosting on a server along the lines of "Dreamstar (Insert something wacky) hosting" on 75.60.216.197:5029, it'll be in "standard" if its up

Looks kinda cool gl with the progress

 

[AnDocumentHedgeog]

Looking foward!

 

[Cosmic Emerald]

I've been doing some progress since before, and I basically have the scripting for his main abilities done, but I still have to redo some stuff.
Here are the sprites I've done, then some gifs of gameplay. (I'm on mobile for gifs and rn, because I don't have my computer, all of the these sprites are done with a phone)

 

[AnDocumentHedgeog]

Nice!

phoenix turns into a lawnmower (real)

Progress update: I made the start of Phoenix's front wait anim, the back stnd sprite, and a base for the side run cycle. Why is it a base? 1. It's not the right height 2. I used completely different steps making the sprites due to making it on mobile. Also I used chrispy chars for 2 of the files below, due to the offsets of the follow mobj, there not being a sprite change for the run cycle, the follow item also having no other rotations, and I made a redo of the scrap pack's design.
Hangout Map addon revealed!?!?(the one looking like gfz anyways)

Shit I forgot the files

 

[Cosmic Emerald]

currently contemplating whether i should have phoenix do a melee like move (something akin to sm64 Mario's melee) bind to c1 and have boost bind to c2 or keeping the boost binded to c1 and not have the melee, also i have another progress update/ announcement;
cosmic sonic and phoenix will be released together, and also the hangout map, green grove valley resort (or green flower forests) will also be in it's own level pack including other maps i have made.
anyways, the actual progress updates.
so the main ability, the scrap pop, has been tweaked to be more powerful, he only slides rather then slide then roll, he has been nerfed when the player has a flag, and custom skincolors have been added (not all of them). also since i have been working on cosmic sonic, i don't have many sprites for phoenix done, but as of now, i have done more shading to phoenix's back and front stand sprites, and also tweaks to them, i also started on the a2a8 stand sprite, but just a sketch so far.

 

[Cosmic Emerald]

So I have more progress, and before I continue, I know I said I would make phoenix be packaged with cosmic sonic, phoenix is already is in the same file as him, but this thread will be fore phoenix and the other for Cosmic sonic.

---

Anyways, since last time, I made new sprites (with a new design), shown below

I also redid some of his moveset, his scrap pop is more like a double jump, he has a insta shield (I will make my own version before release), being done with a sword that is, and replacing his dive, the slide and crouch have been tweaked, and a new ability, a punch replacing the boost (keep in mind phoenix is still human).

The scrap pack may have been removed from the standard character, but you can add it back with the "Phoenixbag" command! It works like blue shoes (on/off), but it's still the same skin.

So that is all for now, so bye!

this might be my favorite mod if it gets finished

 

[Cosmic Emerald]

Stand update (not anywhere close to being done tho)

 

[oddest]

glad this mod aint dead

 

[Cosmic Emerald]

I had finished the css art at the start of April, so here:

I also made a moveset since last time that I'm already revamping.
the revamped version consists of:

• An Chargeable double jump/jump thok (think of maimy for an example on how it works)

• A crouch/slide that works like the one before, except no dmg is dealt to enemies while sliding (neither monitors or battle mod opponents count in this though, they are damaged as they should)

• An punch, uppercut and kick

• A groundpound

• A dash mode

• A walljump (done by hitting a wall after punching, doing a uppercut, a kick, or still rising from the jump thok)

• And a whole rolling gimmick

---

Though that is all that is there currently, I do plan to add a few things, namely an HP system, based of of the Mario series specifically, a taunt system (pizza tower my beloved), the scarf that is clearly apparent on the CSS (I just need to figure out how follow items work), and actual buddy compatibility with cosmic sonic and, when she is a finished character, nilly of course, coming in a v2 I hope.
