Went back to animating with shifting instead of frame by frame. Though I did do two different poses the way I would in Frame by frame, and used shifting to tween between them the way I would with game sprites.
Planned on releasing two today, but every time I sat down do this one I ended up procrastinating and working on something else instead. Sorry about that -__-
So, I'm setting a deadline for myself with the remaining animations, I have to start releasing one a week again, starting with this one. Other than that, the animation player is done, but I've still got to put all the animations into it, dividing them into loops, choosing sounds, etc. It's not time consuming, but it's just sort of tedious so I haven't done them all yet. I look forward to finally putting sound to these, because sound is pretty important to me when it comes to H-content.
Anyhow, that's all for now. Oh, and thanks for all your input on the Noaika question. Helped me come to a conclusion a little easier.
See you next week.
Really well done. This is a return to form, for sure. One of my favorite ones now, and I don't even know the character. Nice work. =D
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, great to see a return of your animations. On the other, pls dont overdo it and kill yourself by making these deadlines happen, lol.
ReplyDeleteWell, it only happened the first time because I messed around with flash. The amount of work was never really the problem.
DeleteNice, there is a lack of shilleka hentai. Are you cool with your stuff being posted on gelbooru and the works? Thats actually how I found out about you.
ReplyDeleteI really like her face expressions, well done!
ReplyDeleteNice! Reminds me a bit of the Shantae animation, a petite brown girl with a small top also riding a dick :D One of the best so far
ReplyDeleteI really hope this trend continues.
DeleteYay, new animation. Seems the combination of animation styles worked out very well. :)
ReplyDeleteBrown girls are the best!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, sound if very important in H-content for me as well.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, this goes well with the music that plays in her shop ^^
Now that I mention the music in her shop, wouldn't it be possible to set this as a background for the animation? ^^
DeleteHaha, I knew I wasnt the only one who thought it sounded like porn music.
DeleteOh. I didn't originally mean it sounds like porn music, just that it's basically a theme I associate with her and it sounds sexy. But now I can hear it too. ^^
DeleteVery sexy... Shilleka is cute :)
ReplyDeletePS How goes work on Noaika? Are you planning finish the game in the spring or earlier?
While I love all these animations and the general smoothness of your animation style, am I the only one who finds her eyes to be really oddly askew here? Like the angle they're at, especially when she's riding, just really bothers me.
ReplyDeleteIt's because her face is angled up slightly. The angle of the eyes and the position of the ear is generally a very easy way of making it look like the face is rotating, without changing how those elements are drawn too much.
DeleteThat said, the shape of the face doesn't match the angle of the eyes as much as the first position, so it looks a little off. I might go back and raise the left eye 1px.
Yeah that's what I figured was the intended perspective, but for some reason just something about it, when I look at it my brain says "Nope that is not right." The position of her eyes/face in the initial frames/position looks good and gives that sense of her being at an angle, but yeah in the second position it seems off. I'm not sure if it's just because the left eye is a bit lower, but the right eye has a larger sclera than the left (which I get is a perspective tool here), and I feel like that's actually contributing heavily to the askew look in the second position. Though maybe moving the left eye 1 pixel up would make that perception go away, not sure.
DeleteNeed more dark girls like Ajna from Indivisible.
ReplyDeleteyeah, this is the skin color because of which i want customization, xoxo
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a something with one of the mosters, but happy sex scenes with assertive female are very fine too :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't this where we start suggesting new animations, or am I remembering wrong. Unless you wanted to get caught up first.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, I was taking suggestions the first half of a week, and voting on characters the second half. There's still 2 more of the previous animations to go, so I'll be doing one more animation before taking votes. That way, the day I release the last animation, I'll start doing what was voted on the next day.
Deletehi kyrieru, will you ever do any tutorials on sprite animation? I've been frankenspriting for a few months now and want to try to advance to making my own sprites thanks to your other tuts,, but it would be nice to see how someone with experience animates before I try to move on to tthat
ReplyDeleteThe problem you're having is that you suck at drawing, and you think there's magical tricks to make "sprite art." Learn to draw on paper, and then drawing sprites will be easy for you. =P
DeleteYes I will be doing an animation tutorial.
DeleteLet's keep cases of dick induced death to a minimum...
So what conclusion did you come to?
ReplyDeleteHave you given up on the Tharja animation? I was really looking forward to it... Tharja is my favorite, and she is not well known enough to ever get a lot of attention from h-artists.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's next >_>
DeleteThen Curly Brace.
I also like Tharja, but she has of all FE:A girls by far the most art. Now Lissa, Sumia, Sully and Olivia, those are without enough attention.
DeleteSpeaking of which, what is it about her anyway that draws people? The gothic Egyptian feel of her? The stalker factor or just the fact shes the first to pretty much say "I'll bang the tactician". I think shes hot myself but just kinda funny the kinda following when, as you mention anon, her art out classes everyone in numbers.
DeleteWell, in the time I've looked up pictures of her while trying to avoid spoilers; I assume it's because she's somewhat dark, twisted, and yet has a nervous posture that all gives her somewhat of a a weird cuteness (or at least, that's the way it feels in the pictures.)
DeleteTharja doesn't have much spoiler-ness to her, she isn't very important plotwise, completely skippable to recruit and her most important characteristics, she reveals practically immediately in her support and recruiting dialogue. She's yandere for your avatar, curses anyone in sight or uses them as labratory mice for her magic experiments. Yeah, and she also wears that skintight partially transparent outfit, that probably has something to do with her popularity....
DeleteFor me, Lissa is the best waifu, with how her design clashes with her personality. Too bad there isn't more art of her with hair like this with her hair down
http://static.zerochan.net/Fire.Emblem%3A.Kakusei.full.1530194.jpg
Everything is a spoiler, as far as I'm concerned. Even if something is non-essential, there's still value in experiencing it yourself naturally.
DeleteSorry if you consider what I wrote spoiler. Don't worry though, I mentioned only the really basic characteristics of her character that you learn immediately after you meet her in game. There are other things that make her a more three dimensional character, but this is the basic outline without really telling too much except for what kind of "stereotype" she is.
DeleteNah, I already spoiled a lot about her character and a relationship with another character while looking at images..-__-
DeleteWith all the reviews you've been doing on ulmf lately how much longer until we get to review Nokia?
ReplyDeleteHow about setting yourself deadlines to finish your game
ReplyDeleteImposibru , for the last 2 years he can't
DeleteSo why he can now?
Because setting a deadline for something that takes a day's work is much different than coming up with a deadline for something that takes 400 times as long.
DeleteI imagine he still sets deadlines just for himself, to complete the various components of the game, but he can't share what exactly he's currently working on, exactly because of posts like this one.
DeleteAnd post like Yours that always pampers him
DeleteOh it's okay take Your time , we Love Your work and we will wait for it forever
We will give our money voluntarily for Your short animation , just don't cancel Noaika
And we will even support Your patreon / preorder
And for another 2 years , nothing.....
So much salt, mmmm
DeleteWhat decision did you reach. Did I win?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDelete->Koolaid guy smashing his way into the foreground with confetti and a marching band harboring sentiments of congratulation?
ReplyDelete->pregnant girl
ReplyDelete->Noaika is released
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if one a week meant one every Monday, like the last one was on, or just sometime every week in general.
ReplyDeleteIt was supposed to be on Sunday, but I had to look after a relative for three damn days. Turns out 12 year old siblings don't create a good environment for working on H-content.
DeleteHere's an image of it though, for now.
https://i.gyazo.com/61b817bbe94530e812e2a3d40178f416.png
Nom nom nom :D
DeleteOh yes, the ol' lickaroo, presumably with some mind control. Very classy.
DeleteHELL YEAH!!!
DeleteOP here. Hell to the actual fuck yeah. Thanks for the preview!
Delete12 year old sibling? , this probably work.
Deletehttp://i.imgur.com/AWLqWsF.jpg?1
so stick-ly.
A 12yo sibling? You either have a significant age difference or you started working on H-games quite early :) Patiently awaiting the Tharja animation.
DeleteWell, I was 19-20 when I started. He's young because my parents had a kid late.
DeleteGimme gimme, this teaser is killing meee-
DeleteCan you make another humour?
DeleteSomething like another episode of "Woobly beast"
http://www.kyrieru.com/2015/06/blog-post.html#comment-form
Cool reminder. That was some really expressive art with loads of personality. Hope he would do dialogue portraits like in Shantae/Fire Emblem/Ace Attorney/other.
DeleteI told you that the legend of Woobly is true.
Deletehttp://i.imgur.com/CPxk7cb.jpg?1
Dunno if this has been asked before, but are you thinking of releasing another demo somewhere down the line? It seems a few things have changed and it'd be cool to see them when it gets to a playable state.
ReplyDelete@Passerby: lol, Koolaid guy would be fun for an April Fools troll. What I meant seriously was more attention to stripping, positioning, forceful leg spreading, breast massaging and various humiliation. Maybe also with some aftermath.
ReplyDeleteLast Anon, don't hijack my post. You have enough space in your own.
You've done some good tutorials for animations... but your games are really well-made, mechanically. Have you considered any tutorials for Game Maker Studio itself?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do a template at some point, along with videos or written documentation on pretty much everything you need to make a basic platformer.
Deletekyrieru, y do u not just post a noaika sprite every week, im sure people would like that, it would generate hype and reassure your audience that it is definitely going to come out
ReplyDeletethese patreon animations are nice, i guess, but that is not why i visit this website, i come here for noaika
like, if you posted this animation from noaika i am sure people would be happy http://s27.postimg.org/3sezvpfbj/H_Floor.gif
Not sure I appreciate you spoiled an enemy design for me there (even if it changed since res change). Nice job breaking it hero :D
DeleteWhere was this sprite retrieved from? Was it pulled from unused files in the demo or something?
DeleteYeah. There were a few enemies in the file that didn't appear in the demo, but had finished animations at the time.
DeleteA quick question, if you wouldn't mind answering it. What do you plan to do with Noaika's demo once the game is released? Will you have the demo go up to the first boss , like the demos for your previous games, or will the demo go farther than that since Noaika will be much larger than those?
DeleteThe answer doesn't matter to me since I'll be buying the game immediately once it's out, I'm just curious about this.
Hmm...that's a good question. Honestly I don't know yet. The thing is, there are a lot of bosses that you run into by doing certain things, or even randomly, so I'll have to sort of pick and choose what I include in some cases. However there are still "major area" bosses.
DeleteI'll probably just divide the content into 1/3 or 1/4 and just decide that way, since there are way more bosses and areas than my other games.
I figured you'd probably do the 1/3 thing, though that's always seemed sort of generous for a demo to me. Then again, with games as short as Kurovadis and Eroico a demo shorter than that would probably be too little.
DeleteIt would be awesome if you could put the completed original sprites in the game somehow. I like what I've seen of the new look, but I also really liked the old resolution.
DeleteJust a note, a demo's point is giving people a feeling of what to expect, so it doesn't necessarily have to start at the game's beginning. You could always use a short sequence from further into the game, if a fitting situation emerges. You mentioned a few ideas about that enemy that chases the MC that might get people interested.
DeleteOr, maybe something unique to the demo itself. A brief backstory sequence? That'd hinge on having an idea and putting extra time into it, though.
how did you go about getting this animated sprite? did you manually piece it together by cutting from the weirdly laid-out sprite sheets or did you somehow get the frames directly? i ask because i enjoy having the sprites from these kinds of games, many of which are made in GMS like this one, and the first method is extremely tedious and hard to get right
DeleteYou are my hero.
ReplyDeleteEver since Jesterbutts started drawing instead of pixellating, I've been at a loss.
I really appreciate your work.
So does my weiner.
Will you upload the player with the Tharja animation? :)
ReplyDeletewhat's the next animation?
ReplyDeleteSo, new vote this week? ^_^
ReplyDeleteHow about instead an animation of Noa from Noaika wearing only a Santa hat, strapped to some sex machine - Christmas light hybrid? XD
DeleteYes, there will be.
DeleteTonight? :3
Delete(In a French accent)
ReplyDelete1 year later...
I think this might be a record for fastest broken promise, good jobu!
ReplyDeleteAre we really still surprised, at this point?
ReplyDeletekyrieru, all we are hoping for is consistant updates, they dont have to be big updates
ReplyDeletelike if you posted this we would be satisfied noaika spoiler
hope you are doing well, keep at it kyrieru :)
Are there anymore? How are you getting these?
DeleteQuit being drama queens people, he didn't promise anything, and even if, appealing to "but you promised" is weak. What are you, three years olds who didn't get taken to Disneyland or something? Shit happens. Someone with actual responsibilities can understand that.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Tharja, but these comments make me lol.

I drew these last night. I wonder why I never got to drawing Noa before (NSFW warning on the second image)
The second one is very nice, mate. Feels really "physical". Don't know how else I should call it. Looks like a dialogue portrait from a actual game.
DeleteJust not sure where her hands are.
RIP left hand, it was lost in the void called Low Attention Span
DeleteOr just say his hands can create wormholes which it uses to restrain the prey :P
DeleteYour nonsense won't ever be anything more than exactly that.
