Demo released!

I just uploaded the very first demo of pride to itch.io!

Here it is!

[nogamedev]

Working on general sound effects.

oh and also progress

[nogamedev]

finally got this crown respawn shit going

right now it’s just identical to the campfire mechanic from dork soul (with like one variation) but I’d to change it; i’m just trying to think of a clever way.

[nogamedev]

gettin somewhere with this shit

then it’s time to work on the first hidden boss.

[nogamedev]

something in this is sticking out as bad but i can’t tell what

the legs?

maybe the legs

[nogamedev]

progress

working on the first boss still forever

[nogamedev]

I haven’t posted in a long dang while so i’ll just post all the progress at once.

I’ve picked up and dropped like 8 projects since I posted last. I didn’t really have anything to be motivated about. But I started this thing a while ago and long story short I found that sweet elusive milky MOTIVATIOn

this first vlibeo is of the spear-wielding class, drudge, who attacks slowly but does Big damage. sorry it’s so long, but this is a rundown of pretty much every main thing I’ve done so far. including the first boss fight. there are three other classes with different weapons and spells and whatnot but it’s 2 much 4 1 video.

which is why i make other vildeo:

^ this is the carpenter

^ this is the marauder

^ and this is my personal favorite the deviant

thanks 4 bein here

Hey gang, I’m making a remake of Megaman 1 starring Roll called Super Roll! because I am Tired.

New features include: Sliding! Charging! Not-Instant-Death Spikes! Various small things! A Combo System for Points! 

You can follow the development of it here on twitter!

[nogamedev]

i’ve been taking a break from "”main projkect””” because i got all analytical and hit a wall or something who knows

anyway presenting the cowboy matrix

[nogamedev]

New low poly style I’m working on. Maybe needs some colour correction and a few shadows to round it off. Hows it look?

[nogamedev]

NOW ITS FAST

I changed the core mechanic of A Grand Show. Now you can just dash around everywhere.

[nogamedev]

tfw you do a pixel dailies you’re actually proud of and they don’t retweet it ;_;

edit:

changed 2 """final draft""""

also wow thank u so much for the reblogs!!

[nogamedev]

I changed the environment color palettes, started building the “actual town™” and made a bunch of other minor cosmetic changes

dialogue system is essentially feature-complete. definitely requires some polish but the functionality is there. (there won’t be a quest log or helper or any sort of way to keep track of objectives through the game, so it’s something you’ll have to keep track of personally. I decided on this because while I want the game to be “up-to-date,” I also want to keep some of the engaging feelings from classic games that don’t get captured anymore. This is one thing I really enjoyed, but if it’s too annoying, I might change it.)

also the shop functions as well, but he’s only got herbs for sale

I’ve been thinking a lot about character design in terms of geography, and based on the environment on the “island” it’s more probable the peoples there would have darker skin tones:

So I’m redoing all 80 something sprites for the main character

It’s a large undertaking but I think it’s necessary.

happy screenshot caturday

have a good weekend!

I’ve been too busy this week to work on leviathan mythos in any serious manner, so I just spent my free time today doing this snow child thing i was thinking about

this is not progress

Regarding your stamina lock thing: have you considered a system where, once stamina *would* deplete to zero, you still have one red pixel line of stamina left, where you can perform one more desperate action? That might be a more visual reminder it's a last-ditch effort on an empty tank and feel more like you're getting a bonus action instead of getting punished.

I had not thought of this, no. It's a fantastic idea. I'd have to change the way stamina works a little bit, but that's not a lot of work. If I do that, making it more clear you have enough stamina for one more attack like that, would it be viable to make it so the player gets physically locked in place for a percentage of the stamina recharge? I want it to be avoided, so there should be some penalty I think.
