Hand2Hand Pre-Alpha 0.1.0.8

Controls

Menu

More inputs are now taken in account for navigation, notably joystick.

New actions

It is possible to bind specific moves. The base ones are still available. ☼ Neutral / Side / Back / Up / Down to force this move no matter the direction, by default unassigned ☼ Block / Dash Right / Dash Left available but not supported, by default unassigned ☼ Menu accept, cancel and exit, by default unassigned (menu always has default keys to be safer) ☼ Jump, by default unassigned

Controller

☼ They can now be changed and saved in the settings menu ☼ Refresh controllers ☼ Assign any controller to any player ☼ Reset controllers buttons to default ☼ It is not yet possible to assign which joystick does what ☼ It is not yet possible to define & use the directional arrows

Combat

☼ Landing effects are now player colored, less when the terrain is darker

Damage gadgets

Some animations can now generate any amount of sub-animations (projectiles, explosions, etc) at any frame. This would expand mostly to the gluestick attacks, but it will need time to rework its concerned animations.

Map - Desktop

Reworked. Length reduced from 2950 to 1950px. Its scale is now more coherent with the size of the combatants.

Chopstick

Neutral Neutral Neutral Neutral

Completely remade from scratch. Damage reduced from 5 5 5 5 to 5 3 3 3 The first attack cracks enemy articulations with a long animation end and quick combo shortcut.

Back Heavy Back

Reworked.

Back Heavy Back [Side]

Added.

Up [Side]

Added.

Heavy [Neutral]

Behind the scenes

☼ Animation movements are now decimal instead of integers, which means tweaking would be more precise. ☼ Some animations can now require a hit to spawn its next wind effects. ☼ Orange is now more Orange, going from FF8800 to FF8000. ☼ Combo list in class gallery is no longer bruteforced with all combinations, that means the search is recursive. Performance gain is peanut but the previous code was awful. ☼ JSON data file compressed : image paths takes the image folder by default, coords are now in a single integer, frame & animation flags are compressed into one single integer ; all of that saves a bit of space and JSON reading time. ☼ Wind effects indexed ☼ The Desktop map image is no longer broken into equal length but with bits of power of two. This means it takes a bit less graphic memory due to less waste. ☼ Control management have been standardized ☼ Keyboard and controller settings are now separated in the JSON for each player

Bug fixes

☼ [0.1.?] A sound has a very small chance to not play Fixed ☼ [0.1.?] Flipped wind effects have their Y axis movement flipped Fixed ☼ [0.1.?] When a combo is invalid, the wind effect of the next frame is spawned even if it cannot reach it Fixed. That means no longer any parasite wind effects spawned. ☼ [0.1.0.7] Can't use controller to exit the pause Fixed, thanks Simao from Black Door Games for pointing it out with his steam deck ! ☼ [0.1.0.7] Can't use controller to navigate in the tutorial Fixed
