Are you animating with spine? If not, what tool? The rest of the game is in GameMaker Studio?
Hey all! Tim here and maker of this game. If you like Boss 101 (and thank you so much if you do) - then we have released our NEW version on Steam. Basically, everything cranked up to eleven!

@BoMToons - Yep, all animation is done inside Spine (by Esoteric Software). We do have a few things that are actually setup inside the engine but pretty well every thing else is all Spine. We create pixelart assets in Photoshop then import the art into Spine for animation. From there we animate the pixel art (movement, scale and rotation) and then export back into GameMaker Studio. Mostly it has worked out extremely well! Spine is pretty awesome and pretty much a fantastic animation tool. I can't imagine how we would have done some of the complicated bosses and enemies without it. Drop me a direct line if you have any questions!

So this is how animation is made..
@BlueAlpha14 - Yes sir! We do it all in Spine and bring it into GameMaker Studio. Very fun stuff! Thanks for the comment!

Oh boy, I can't wait to die!
@absoluteDETH - HA! Ideally you'll come back stronger to save the galaxy! Thanks for stopping by!

Wishlisted and Followed.
This is really coming along nicely. Can't wait to give it a play!
Cheers
More narrative, less gameplay. k thnx...
@JaShinYa - Both are important in the end of course. One thing about Boss 101 is we're focused on making sure the world is fun to just 'be in' and not a series of info panels with stats. Hopefully it's coming through. We also have a new video in the works summarizing the latest and greatest game play as well as story line stuff. Ideally this and other things we're cooking up set the stage for the upcoming release.
Thanks man!
