BAH Humbug...on the proper blog!

Starting trailer over again. I didn't like the story board I had in the first place for it, it annoyed me because it wasn't properly fluent or anything. And...
The USB with the trailer failed anyway -_-. Both of the same type USB's I've had for the same amount of time failed on me within two days of each other. Coincidence? I think not.
*swears at USB companies*
Aside from that I finished Ruby's front walk and side stand poses. I need to play FF9 again, it's been a while and it takes a bit to get me working on related stuff. For FF7, 8 and 10 I have the games available so it's a different story for them =/.
I also finished a couple of sprites that will appear in the extended version of the airport. Since I figured customs isn't going to let a 19-year-old waltz in with a .45 Magnum in his jacket (well done Levi -_-).
From this scene, the proof that Cosplay Crisis isn't just Final Fantasy will come through as he gets his ass saved by Leonard Shawn Kendal, or Leon S. Kendall for short.
Sound familiar?
Played RE2 or RE4 lately? Nehehe.

Also, I extended the Alleys by LOADS. In fact, it even has its own boss fight in order to get through the gate to get to the Subway and an extra branching map. Thanks InFeCtioN for this suggestion, now I don't have to edit the boss in the Battle Circle.
I'm also in the process of extending the Battle Circle to resemble its FF7 counter part better. This means more fights before you fight he boss, which I will one day get around to changing from a Rangarok Online monster to Elvoret/Enoyle from FF8.

In the meantime enjoy the Kumo picture. I remembered his ear ring!!

(I bet there's tons of Engrish in this post, I typed it up at 3am after crashing from energy drinks =D. I'm not thinking straight, believe me)

Lol, this proves I'm tired. I posted this on the Burnt Toast Memorial blog first instead of here =D.

Questions?

Pertaining to the series as a whole, I'm wondering if anybody would like to play through Kumo and Levi's missions prior to the game at current. I don't have anything atm but I already have ideas for what scripts I would use (it would be an ABS instead of ATB). I suppose I'd be better off finishing what I have planned for School Yard before I even consider making a game off it.

In game related news, two separate versions of the final game will be released. The first, the standard edition, will be released to most forums.
The second, the 'Insane' edition, will feature in-depth character profiles, an art gallery, extended ending, summon animations that don't suck, and Swordless Mission, and extra playable part at the beginning of the game where you get to play as non-cosplay Kumo and Levi wielding a machine gun and a Magnum .44 respectively. The battle system won't be any different, but it does give a little more storyline, including information about Levi's past that would usually only be found in Cosplay Crisis: Final Core. It may also include Aeris as an unlockable character, but she was planned as a non-listed one in the original version. I'm now debating this, given that she unbalances the FF8-FF7 balance.

Unless I also put Irvine in, since his character does have a persona now. Yes I am looking at you, Carl.

Get some clothes on for crying out loud.

And yes I'm now putting the game name in italics. =P.

Cosplay Crisis...

Work...

Alright, an end is in sight! I've got the dialogue for the ending cutscenes written down and I already know how the ending fight goes down. One of the CC trio will end up hospitalized, critically injured...who will it be?

(aka 'who has a fake death in their respective game at the end of disk 1' o.o)

That said I still have a lot to do. I plan to utilize the numerous tilesets I have for Tokyo, but the Bridge and the Exhibition Tower I will have to sprite myself. *sigh*. I still have a lot of battlers to do, etc...
Meh. CC Vol.2 is at Page 6.
I have another scene like Aio and Levi's fight to sprite, but it's a lot shorter in comparision. Just involves some combination Fated Circle + Climhazzard awesomeness...
Climb Circle! o.o
Alongside Brave Divide in CC volume 1...Meteor Zone...and Omniheart Lionslash.

o.o

If anyone feels up to it, I wouldn't mind having a composer for CC. Just some theme remixes (excluding Levi), maybe a theme for the actual game...meh.

It's not necessary but could give the game a little more oomph.

Apologies...

Argh I drained myself on the demo....
I can't work on it right now, I'm too desperate for Dissidia. I can't even THINK about working on this game. Plus most work I have to do next is spriting and I hope I'm not the only one who finds it draining. Also I always have my nose rubbing against the frickin' screen while doing it because of my short-sightedness.

Oh and by the way...this is the actual demo link:

Play it! Tell me your thoughts! =D.

About a lot of the character art, they will be redrawn. Especially early ones such as Kumo, Levi, and Miri's full-body shots.
I'll also be doing a 'promotional poster', not for the fun of it but to say thanks for 1000 views on DevArt. Nehehehe ^_^
