Some more #BattleHigh2A+Xchange progress. Lucio is close to being done -- though his specials and projectiles need to be implemented. And HW is getting there, but a bug made me realized a special morph character could be done pretty easily

Made another #BTS #Patreon post for #BattleHigh2A+Xchange; this time focused a bit on the sprite-based hurtbox generator I made for the game.

Made a tool to auto generate hitboxes for #BattleHigh2A+Xchange as a set of 8 rectangles; works pretty well, but I'm nervous it'll be like...eh...idk..."too" accurate lol.
I know for hit animations it's better to use more consistent boxes but idk...we'll see.

Sometimes I still open up #MerFight just to make sure a challenge combo isn't broken.

That's a lot of work for 50%...

Ugh, gotta take a break from this and go back to *looks at list of 30 other projects*
But I have...
* A basic save system concept started
* A simple dialog system started
* Grid selection for menus

Ugh...this took my longer than I wanted but sort of having a working grid system in my controller-only UI system. Dynamically updates the list as well which is nice. Have some outlier issues I probably need to fix but eh.

A late #screenshotsaturday of the menu system prototyped for my fighter rpg idea that I've been wanting to do.
Has options, button config, and works for keyboard & controller. Some things I had to update, but thinking of doing a "menu" system post for #Patreon

It's getting there...I don't have select "all fingers" but that's sort of tricky cause Unity and 3ds max don't do additive rotation the same way so selecting all isn't that useful.

Year of the Horse but where is the horse?!
(It's silly I can play the game with the horse invisible)
Toying around with camera angle changes so more of the stage can be visible. I have some ideas to improve but yea. First #HAFO video of 2026!

New #HAFO stage in the works. I think I have my pipeline nearly finalized. I don't "love" the colors of this but fortunately I can edit these within the texture later. The maxscript saved a ton of friggin' time though...

UGH!!! I finally fixed #HAFO and the accessory / color system.
Now accessories are dynamically loaded so they all don't have to be on the prefab and can be dynamically recolored.
I sort of wanna redo the idle cause it's annoying...lol

I might try to clean it up later, but I made a quick video displaying all (or some?) of the work I did in 2025 and will continue to work on in 2026 such as HAFO and Battle High 2 A+ Xchange and MerFight. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #devblog
