So. I thought it'd be a good idea to try animating Levi VS Aio in GIMP. That way I could use Opacity to 'onion skin' and other stuff.

Well the program fucking crashed. Luckily I wasn't far in, but that was 2 hours of wasted work.

It was this that has prompted me to cut that stupid scene right down.

Now you'll only get to see the end of it. It'll still be pretty cool but it means LESS WORK, MORE GET TO RELEASE.

As for Shadz VS. Yagami... does everybody hate those single-player boss fights?

No? You had better not because I seriously can't be fucked animating that either.

So, back to work on my now heavily cut down work load. Phew.

By the way, this is necessary because I have 8 days to get everything done. I want to upload to beta-testers by the 1st of March, and animating these RMXP RTP sprite cutscenes is a fucking painful experience. There is ONE completed battle in this sort of style and there's a screen shot of it in Images (Infantryman Kumo vs. Arithial)
That looks pretty sweet anyway so whatever.
