Update - Concept Art and Design
This week there is a small update for art and design. There are a few things in the works that are not ready to show in the update just yet. Implementation for paper2d assets into the engine will hopefully start within the month once most of the art concepts are finalized. In the meantime, enjoy some more cool looking stuff!

Next up - Prototype of one of the Boss abilites for the demo. This prototype is functional and lets us control any pattern based on a grid of any size. The yellow signifies where the attack will damage and the red is the execution.

Cheers
This game has so much style!
I canât wait to see some more killer gameplay
And of course, seeing paper2d being used is great! Keep up the good work!
Woah, youâre making fast progress with this. Always nice to see other people using Paper2D.
I absolutely love the bright, bold colours!
Will you be sharing the demo online, or only playable at the event? Would love to check it out but Iâm the other side of the world
Thanks for the support we appreciate it very much!
Thanks! We are trying to keep weekly updates for regardless of how small, we want to keep the community informed. About the demo, we do have plans to release it online, though it will most likely be after the event and it has been fixed up and optimized.
Everyone is welcome to follow us on our pages for any updates as well!
Looking really good! Good luck finishing off your demo, canât wait to see more

Update: New Animations and New WIP Level Layout
Hey! Small update this week.
Thank you for the kind words, . We plan to continue making progress and sharing our project with!
**Going to slowly be pumping out animations. For this week we have Wasabiâs right facing running animation.
**

We also have a new work in progress level layout. Nothing fancy yet, but its coming. Going to a more natural layout, for the purpose of an outside setting.
http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr16/pedwar2/Level%20WIP%201_zpsrxcnqude.jpg
Our blueprints/ test levels are made with the Tilemap editor. The editor still seems to have some problems, as it crashes the engine quite frequently. The editor has improved overtime, especially with the addition of different layers. It would useful to have separate collisions for each layer that can be placed in the tilemap instead of the same collision for each one.
We are also working on some more story concepts and dialogues!
Update 05-07-2016
**Update: New Animation and Boss Ability Prototype **
**
Hey got another weekly update on our lovely paper2d project. **
First off, we have another Wasabi running animation. This time, we have the Running up animation.
http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr16/pedwar2/back%20run_zpser9pxsax.gif
****Next up, we continued prototyping another demo boss ability: The Lightning bolt/beam.
This ability is going to be the bossâ bread and butter. The boss will constantly borrow and emerge from the ground throughout the fight and shoot Wasabi with these beams. Here is the first prototype gifs (still early WIP.)

Update 5-13-2016
**Update - Art, Prototypes, and Enemy Flowcharts, oh my! **
Hey! This week we got another update on the progress of your favorite paper2d project, wink wink.
**First up, we got a rough idle pose for the boss we are working on, thoughtfully named Zappadugg. This picture is being used for scale reference. We are still messing with how big Zappa will be compared to Wasabi.
Next up, we have a couple of flow charts that depict how our two regular enemies will function in the demo. They are fairly simple and straightforward, with their attack patters not being very different.
For this weeks, prototype phase gif, we have another of Zappaduggâs abilities. The WHACK-A-MOLE! hue hue

Update 05-20-2016
**Update: Boss Charge Blast!
This week in Good War Games update corners we have a small HUD WIP update as well as some nice GIFS of the Boss Charge Blast ability prototypes! **
We added some color and slight adjustments to the older concept that was posted earlier.
For the Charge Blast, the attack and pattern will get more severe as the fight continues. These gifs are showing different types of attack patterns.

Update 05-28-2016
**Update: Boss Mechanics, Wasabi Dodge and new Pause Menu
Hey! We are getting very close to finishing up the Boss encounter, mechanics wise. Today we see an example of Zappaâs floor line charge patterns, a small materials graphic for Wasabiâs dodge, and a new WIP pause menu. **
The line charge attack can be made to fit any pattern on the grid. The way it is set up, only one line can come out at a time, but they can be made to come out very fast, sometimes even giving the illusion that the are coming out at the same time. We are using this to give the Zappaâs flow of combat some spice. Zappa will cast this attack periodically during the different phases of combat. We are currently working on making many different patterns for the fight.
http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr16/pedwar2/repeatedPattern_zpsiql9rl44.gif
As for Wasabi. She is going to be dodging a lot in the game. We havenât gotten a dash animation or frames yet, but we have starting playing around with different material settings to give the dash a solid indicator. This is what weâve made so far.

A small update to our pause menu to better represent the new aesthetics of the UI.
