Space Channel 5 Dress-up preview
Good morning everybody!

Some time long long ago in the month of April which has far since surpassed us, I started working on an Ulala dress up game. Having just got a tablet pen months before and considering myself a newbie at Flash programming (despite using the program avidly for three years), the project was doomed to fail (that and the line art just looked… Creepy) However, recently I took up the project again and I have some screen shots to show you all!

This is the most recent picture I have so far. This was my first time making a custom palette for any project but I’m really happy with how it turned out. Things look a bit cluttered right now but I’m organizing everything into subsets using the hearts at the bottom of the screen (anybody remotely familiar with KiSS should know exactly what I mean)



This was current as of yesterday around noon. Everything that missing from the last picture was added from between then and 1 AM (Dress-up games are pretty serious business) The background obviously isn’t done in this one either but its going to kind of mimic the box art for Ulala’s Cosmic Attack.


The first screencap I made about a week into the project. I really like this one because it gives you a cute close-up of Ulala’s face. It looks like I’ve played around with the line smoothness since then but I honestly can’t remember. Still yet a better view of the objects.


Now for an ancient screencap form what was the first version. Apearantly anorexia was really sexy last year!


A close up. I really liked the eyes at the time but looking back on it they really didn’t save the whole disaster that would have been this game. I think was trying to make her really boney and slightly eerie because otherwise any non SCh5 fan would divide my existence by zero because the game was too ‘cutsie/girlie/perky/happy’.


To get that last image out of your head, I give you Ulala in the Pudding dress. I know, I know- the tattoo isn’t supposed to be on her shoulder but I was too lazy to move that layer under the shirt layer. IT STILL LOOKS GOOD.


And that’s what I have so far! I’m anticipating having the game done sometime in December should stupid high school exams not interfere with this highly important matter. Until then I still need to finish some of the outfits I’ve started, start some entirely new ones, play around with the layers, finish the background and interfacing as well as add a few songs. I’m contemplating adding a feature that allows you to change eye, makeup and skin color… Would this be a waste of time do you think? I also haven’t decided if I want to make the title text in Japanese because I have the Space Channel 5 kana font but I don’t have the font they use for the domestic release (But if I could get my hot little paws on such a thing…)

I hope you all get the chance to play when I finish this thing (I will continue to keep you updated!) but until then check out my other dress up games from more than two years ago.

Any thoughts, questions, constructive feedback, etc..?
