We pushed out another update for the Frontline beta earlier during the week. It mostly contains minor changes and bugfixes, but also the long awaited Weapon & Shield style slots! You can read up about the changes more thoroughly over here.
While Teddy has put most of his efforts into the update, Vilya and Fred have been busy working on assets for the cutscene we talked about last week. We mentioned that the players mother Charlotte would make her first appearance in it, which means she needed a proper face!
Something that sets Charlotte apart from other NPC’s is that she’ll take on the same color palette as your own character. Vilya put together a ton of different hair and skin colors so we can mix and match it as we please!
Fred managed to finish up the spriting stage and dove head first into the animations for the scene.

I’ve based all of the laughing animations on the ones from Final Fantasy 6, so you’re not far off ;D
Great, now I can’t get the laugh out of my head whenever I see the sprites laugh…
All I can hear is Kefka’s laugh.
