Project Annie of the Stars fangame

Hrm...

- Peacock's minions like bombs
- Skullgirl skeletons (this itself has lots of room for variety - mob skeletons, gigan skull skeletons, flying skulls)
- Medici mobsters
- Double catellites
- Other mini-Double offshoots
- Samson hair monsters (like fenrir wolves, hairballs, etc.)
- Dagonians (like the tougher ones in the background of Little Innsmouth)
- Ottomos (sure, there's onl
- Dahlia's bunny girl minions (see Squigly story mode)

Some ideas off the top of my head.
 
On the topic of enemies...

Who fears mutated bats more, Annie or Painwheel...?

I kid, we'll get one of our more artistically adept members to draw your design.

Aw man really? That's some quality in game art.

Metal alligator Harry Potter?
 
Looks really good so far. :)

Not much else I can say on it, as I personally have the drawing ability of a burning chocolate tractor... with no wheels, but it definitely looks like a great potential title screen.

We'll probably need some monster/enemy noises eventually, but I imagine these'll mostly be grunting noises.

I'M REALLY GOOD AT MONSTER STUFF!

Think like... L4D zombie/special sounds and Gears of War Locusts... especially boomers.

That's my specialty!

Gimmie a ring when you need them!
 
Quick poll: Should Annie be able to chain her attacks similar to Zero? (3 hits of course)

Major difference from Zero is her ability to chain air and crouching attacks as well, similar to Skullgirls.
 
chaining attacks would require tougher enemies, and it'd keep her more time in the attacking animation

still, it's cool as hell. if you can do the sprites for it, i say GO FOR IT!

Depends on final gameplay decisions. Little things like, "do bosses gain temporary invulnerability after being hit?" (a la Mega Man) might make multi-swing animations totally superfluous.

From an aesthetic and functional standpoint, I think a 2-swing animation would be perfectly sufficient. Those first two swings in your test animation would loop perfectly, allowing the player to continuously swing without timing interruptions.
 
We could just make it so in boss fights the first 2 hits only do damage while the last one will cause them to flinch, granting them temporary invulnerability and giving you time to get out of the way of their attacks.

So what about catching them in the air? You'd have to hit them three times to stun them?
 
Stun from first hit in air, stun on third hit on ground, slow down how quickly any charging attacks charge, increasing damage with each of the three chained hits. Sound good?

Sounds good to me.
