As of the latest Rivals of Aether patch Carol Bike Jab no longer works correctly. I will get around to fixing it when I next have the chance.

It would appear this is a teams issue and happens with any teammate. Currently trying to figure out the problem.

Yeah her sprites work perfectly now. New issue; game crashes seemingly whenever Lilac interacts with my bike lol

OK it should be fixed now.

I must have accidentally saved the sprites in the wrong resolution upon the latest update, will fix that.

Not sure what causes it, but Carol's sprite shrinks drastically on certain animations, crouch animation is most noticeable

I am currently suffering from Repetitive Strain Injury issues and need to take time out from the computer. Once I am back I will be nerfing FSpec startup to make it easier to aim.

My only complaint is the FSpec, I think the window for changing direction is a little too tight and removing pratfall on hit is a bit pointless when on the vast majority of situations the opponent gets hit by the disc before getting hit by the dash. Other than that I really really like the character and it was a nice surprise when I tried her out. Banger update tbh

LEA?!

All comments below relate to Version 1. Version 2 is a heavily revised version of the character.

Thanks for 10k subs guys. New patch will be coming along to improve some animations and shading but a complete rework of attack effects and certain moves is also coming layer akin to what I did with Lilac earlier this year, it's just that I have a new character coming out next month that's all.

Going to leave this comment right there. Super Smash Bros. CMC+ (modded Crusade) has a playable Milla mod, so if you want to play as Milla in a platform fighter that is currently your best option. Also, this is Workshop, anyone is able to make any character, they don't all have to come from the same developer.

Aperson, just add Milla Basset to Rivals please.

We want Milla Basset!

FSpecial has seen a rework, now you can aim it. The bounce off the disc has been reduced in height to compromise but it should allow you to recover vertically a bit better regardless.

Also the character's animations should be a bit less janky now, there's actual endlag animation in many moves.

Did a massive update today, this one's been in the works for a bit. Of particular note is that Carol's gameplay has seen a slight tweak in that you can now cancel jabs tilts and aerials on hit with jumps, specials and strongs/attacks depending on which state you're in, this should link the whole kit together a lot more and improve my intent for her to be a combat focused character, leaning now more into mix-up territory.

Carol's graphical update is now out. I've redone all the Steam screenshots to reflect this new update.

OK so I'm currently aware of a bug regarding the Level 9 AI just doing nothing but parrying. The patch will have to wait, I'm working on touching up all of Carol's sprites as well improving certain visual effects related to attacks on the bike. Update will happen when it's ready.

They probably won't see your comment because they are banned.

I am currently working on redoing my Yooka & Laylee mod and I'm wanting to take quite a bit more time on it to really polish the whole thing and understand art and animation better. Along with a buddy, being the coder for Meat Boy as well as now getting into doing Rivals of Aether Youtube videos, I just have a lot of stuff going on. But, it appears that no one else is likely to make a Milla mod anytime soon... I just want to have a bit of variety in the mods I'm working on and not get pidgeon holed over doing characters and stages from one particular series. I'm glad you liked this mod and the Remaster though.

Hi Aperson,

please make a playable Milla mod for Rivals, people've been asking for it for a while, you're an amazing modder, I know you can do it! I believe in you!

Stay determined,

@grainneagalvin She's from the Freedom Planet series, where she's the secondary protagonist (as explained in the mod's description.) If by "dutch angel dragon" you mean Lilac, the primary protagonist of the Freedom Planet games, she's already on the RoA Workshop. If by "dutch angel dragon" you mean Lilac, the Remastered Lilac mod's available via the link in the description. Why her? Well, I guess it's fitting that she's the 2nd fighter from the Freedom Planet series to be released because she's the secondary protagonist, not the tertiary (3rd) or the 4th protagonist.

is this your oc

if it is:
then cool oc

if it is not:
then why her
why not dutch angel dragons (or stormi folf)

Big update today. I have managed to rework Carol's forward aerial on the bike into something much more satisfying. The bike now can be used anywhere as a projectile and pretty much guarantee its return, while the bike is thrown you (hopefully) won't see a second bike when Carol gets hit during the animation. Also a number of refinements to other moves (check the Change Notes for more).

I have no plans to do Milla.

SO CUTEEE AH THIS IS SO GREAT!!!!. Can't wait for Milla ;P

Character movement has seen a lot of adjustments in the latest update and I worked closely with Reaver of Souls to make sure that all these changes are positive and make the character feel better to play. The only part of the character that is janky right now is Fair on bike but that's getting a mechanical overhaul which I'm having some issues with getting to work properly, so decided it was best not to implement the changes in an unfinished state. The rest of the kit should be a lot better.

Shocked that I didn't that think about attacking out of the whole thing to begin with! Will definintely add that, I'm working on a bunch of balance and performance patches to tweak the character and that will go in as part of the update. I might also make it so that she wall jumps if she hits a wall when you use the pounce.

I love her pounce being in the game, but having it as the double jump gets in the way of using her multiple wall jumps and has lead to many SDs. Perhaps more importantly though, why can you not attack out of the pounce. In FP you could attack out of the pounce with a heavy slashing move which feels like the kind of threat that Carol Tea is missing in her current state

Just reworked Fspecial and Fair to be multihit moves. The jump disc move should be significantly better now!

I am also hearing that some people can't run the character properly on their PCs.This is rather unfortunate, I don't know how to resolve this issue at this moment.

Hey there, you're not the first person I've heard take issue with the double jump. I understand it, the pounce replacing the double jump is directly taken from FP as that's what happens when you press jump in midair. At the same time I realise that making changes to any of the basic movement tools in this game is always going to turn some people off.

I might make some compromise to boost her vertical ability like giving her a higher normal jump and a slight vertical boost to the pounce before it starts. Will test before making the changes.

The double jump thing is so awkward...

*the good ending*

It's OK guys, after the trailer, Carol apologised to Amber, and she and Lilac invited her for a girl's night out at Lilac's Treehouse. Everything turned out well in the end!

nuuu Amber :C

Just added a new quality of life feature, in practise mode, pressing the shield button during Down Special will now instantly charge fuel to maximum, allowing you to get on to the bike if you want to practise that side of the character much easier.

For the record, I'm not doing Milla. I want to diversify myself on projects a bit more and do other games, so someone else can make her if they want to.

So that's 2/3 of the trio

Freedom Planet 2 hypeeeeeeeeeee

When I saw the thumbnail I thought "Ratchet but green".
