Re: Walthros: Renewal - Demo 2.1 Now Available
Working on sprites for a playable Lydia! She joins the party temporarily after the events of Grey Shrine. I haven't decided what she'll use for a weapon yet, I'm open to suggestions.

Woah, playable Lydia. I haven't played enough W:R to know what would be a good weapon for her, and it's been too long. I guess I gotta go play more!

Went with two weapons; Switchblade for her normal attacks and a screwdriver for a dismantling attack when used against machine type enemies. So far none of the heroes use guns but there's laser beams throughout the game so one of the temp members should definitely get one.

- Battle balance testing for Lydia, she has basic healing moves, a defense debuff, and anti-machine attack, a counter, and a critical hit.

I got some feedback that it was confusing whether or not you could swap certain characters out of the party at any given time. Locked in characters now have a little lock icon letting you know!

Getting the next dungeon prepped. Players will get to use Lydia as a guest character here.

- Work in progress on a robotic dinosaur boss sprite in comparison to the version used in the original Walthros, one of my worst sprites in that game. The new version takes inspiration from Mechagodzilla.

- Old-school Walthros players may recognize the shape of the guns used by the Mu Defense Units. They're inspired by Glob Spril, an underused hero from the original game that doesn't appear as a playable character in Walthros: Renewal.

Re: Walthros: Renewal - Demo 2.1 Now Available
One of the things I've always loved about your projects is seeing something from way WAY back in your earlier projects suddenly show up with a new spin put on it. Especially that purple dinosaur. I think that's probably the biggest treat that Walthros Renewal has to see for us long time fans!
But also, having an easy to identify indicator that a particular hero is locked in position? That's brilliant!

Thanks! It's been very helpful getting feedback from people outside the OHR userbase, they're noticing little things like that (hero locks) that I'd otherwise take for granted since we're all used to it.

- Some players have given me feedback about weapons being too hard to see since the animations are fast and they can blend in. I've added black outlines around weapons so they're a little more visible.

The Many Faces of Hank Walrusman
Every character has a base weapon that can transform down two paths once they're upgraded enough. Hank's power comes from his mask, so he gets to change his look entirely!
The Lucha Mask is made by upgrading your mask using cloth materials, the Witch Mask is made using gems. Lucha form restores some HP with each hit, Witch form restores MP.

- Here's a GIF of the new upgrade system in action. I might make it a little flashier later on, but the important things are that it works and that it's easy to read.

- Working on a full visual overhaul of the game's upgrade screen (top). The old one (bottom) was both cramped and kind of hard to read. It's going to take a while to implement for every character, but it will be a lot more user friendly!

Finished switching over to the new upgrade system for Suwanee, each character is taking about a day to fully set up. Four more to go after this!
