It's Another Autumn

And I have stopped playing KanColle. But I have not stopped doing game dev related things. Studying RPGMaker MV and GameMaker: Studio for another project where I do the programming and in return I get sprites for my game.  Talk about an equal exchange. I feel valued now lol.

It's Autumn Again

And Urakaze's back. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  

Investigating Transition Behavior in Movie Sprites

TL;DR:

It doesn't work like what you'd usually do with 2D sprites:

show testchar uniform neutral with dissolve
show testchar uniform smiling with dissolve

The MSC works by automatically playing a set idle animation after playing an "active" animation, e.g. winking to idle. A tested fix (and still testing) looks like this:

ms_pause = Pause(0.5)
ms_dissolve = Dissolve(0.5)

renpy.show(ani_action, at_list=[location])
renpy.with_statement(transition, always=True)
renpy.pause(delay=ani_len)
renpy.show(ani_idle)
#renpy.with_statement(ms_pause, always=True)
#renpy.with_statement(ms_dissolve, always=True)

But no... it didn't work as planned. It seems in order to achieve a smooth transition between active and idle states is ending the active animation smoothly, not abruptly. A good example of this in the MSC code is "epsilon wink_png". 

I'll try to test some more transition classes, particularly the MultipleTransition class. The next update will feature refined code and PEP8 convention because standards.


TL:DRs aren't supposed to be placed at the start of your post fam. 

Hi /evn/!

I need a new ISP if I want to stay in the loop.

/evn/ is 4chan /vg/'s general for English Visual Novels (EVN) or some would call it OELVN. Welp. I get jumpy when somebody mentions me or my projects but then I can't really reply right away since I need to appeal every fucking time.

Meanwhile, at KanColle

I'd probably choose Yamashiro this time. Oh wait, it's always been Yamashiro lol.

I'd buy one.

Shiratsuyu's back with her summer outfit.  

What the fuck am I doing with my spare time?

When You Play Your Genre

When you're fresh off of steam and just brought the Wargame bundle. 30+ hours in and I'm already unproductive as fuck, to the point of disregarding my KanMusus. Also, with Yoku's return, the gamedev life might start again for me. @.@ Welp. Funny thing is I kinda wasted funds for all my projects on waifus, food, glasses, some appliances, Steam games.

Fucking A.

Hey, It's a KanColle Post!

KanColle's most dignified, studious, diligent honor student destroyer finally gets her own kai ni, Asashio. Asashio is the third ship in her class to receive a second upgrade. Like Ooshio and Kasumi before her, she gets two versions, the first version which is the one shown, is centered on firepower, while the other upgrade is more on anti-aircraft.

She actually doesn't come with any equipment. 10cm HAs and Type-13 Kai are from stocks.

It was a good day to keep this class of destroyers. It's a year and a month since I started playing KanColle. Asashio is the 61st ship I padlocked, and I never expected any of her class to have second upgrades before they're relatively newer ships compared to the Mutsuki and Fubuki classes.
