PAN FERNÁNDEZ-SCHRÖDINGER Hasty Herald of Hedonism
The best way to describe Pan would probably be dandy-brute. Fostered by an Andorran sinologist and German catch wrestler, the young scamp has been exposed to a myriad of new-age and pugilistic parenting methods. As a result, Pan is a well-educated and strong person - though if someone can call him an individual is unfortunately dubious. He is a very malleable man, receptive to many opinions, both objectively good and evil. But it is because of this malleability, that he holds a confused stance on his own actions. Nevertheless, Pan is the best tool a human can find. It is no wonder that he will be a versatile tool to you too.
what the hell, have an extra WIP portrait of pan too
As you might figure, I'm redoing the graphics. The old ones were from 2008 anyway so they're all terrible.
I haven't actually worked on this since Feb 3 because I got busy, but here's a quick demo that will probably be the first level. It's just missing a boss and the cavern will probably get new enemies that suit the terrain so that the pacing isn't slowed down for that segment. But it has all the foundations of the combat, so it's full enough to share.
The demo only consists of a few combat segments. It takes place after Pan is vaulted off his motorcycle, but the cutscene hasn't been coded at all so the dialogue is placeholder. It's supposed to ease the player in with its level design, but the more subtle mechanics of the system aren't explained yet. So feel free to critique on issues you feel with the level design or combat.
dont mind the horrible portrait it's not going to be used

Rules for Flexing and Dating Here are the mechanics that will be used to gain Charm Points in the game, represented by the heart meter on the HUD. You convert them to money in town to win love from women with lavish gifts. The town isn't in the demo though. But it'd be nice to see how much players can accumulate.
Flex to accumlate current Combo into Charm Points.
A 3 Hit Combo or higher is required to Flex a Combo into Charm Points!
Use Flex Combos to increase the output of Charm Points gotten when you Flex.
When Flexing, a bar will pop up. Releasing Flex when it is in the red zone will make Pan do a Dream Flex!
After a Dream Flex, Flexes will automatically be considered a Dream Flex until a Flex Combo ends.
2 seconds until Combo Time ends!
5 seconds until Flex Combo Time ends!
Getting hit ends your Combos and Flex Combos.
It isn't really as complicated as the wall suggests. All you do is trash zombies then press Q to convert your combo into points.
