No, the project is not dead, but since I made no post about it, some people probably think that I don't work anymore on it. I only made around five minutes of animation, but I prefer a short movie with a lot of work than a really long one with nothing important. I am not sure about when it will be done, so for those who wait for it, here's a list of things about the episode 5 that changed from the previous episodes or that is completely new.
- A photographic filter was used on sprite sheets to get better color effects.
- Sprite sheets are not separated into single sprites images, but are now transferred in a single image.
- Most backgrounds are 3D rendered, using real texture instead of sprites.
- 4 pre-rendered CGI effects using MP4 codec.
- New light and reflection effects instead of just a flat shading.
- V-cam is not used to avoid CPU overload during action scenes.
- Most blurring effects are pre-rendered.
Not believing me? Then here's a screenshot showing some of these effects.
