Gingerlink’s Blog

Just because I havn’t updated much recently doesn’t mean i havn’t made any progress, i’ve made some, but i’ve had some complications with what im doing.  For a start, although the hittest worked the first time, which is a first for me, I had problems with some of the timeline control and spent a while sorting that out. To add to that,  I was planning to have link leaning in mid air depending on which way you’re heading, but I realised that this gives the problem of having to create an absolute tons of slightly different sword motions, increasing the file size and the the time it’ll take, so I’ve ended up wasting time and overall i havn’t got that far.

To add to that, I’ve had A2 exams recently, so im still doing revision for those at the moment.

I plan also to buy a graphics tablet, I found a good one on amazon for only £27,  but im worried its not going to be big enough (roughly 4 DS touch screen sizes) for what I’d like to do, especially in the opening sequence.

I’ve finished the animations for while link is crouching, as it was before, there is currently no animations to go from standing to crouch and I’ll decided whether or not to add it later on because it could delay the time it takes to crouch and/or get up, which should be an almost instant action.

This means I now need to sort out the jumping animation and redesign my currently ripped platforming script, whcih could take some time, but if i get it to work well, it’ll for the basis of the game engine and should bode well for the rest of my programming if i can get it to work.
