Some sprites I made as I hone in on the style I like. Also working on some melee attacks for early game, but those aren't ready yet.

Its incredible. There's a scene where they are discussing the "afterlife" that really put into perspective my own ideas and hopes for such a thing.

Excellent dialogue. Amazing effects. Realistic characters. 10/10 story/ending imo.

Halloween!

I am a big fan of those two games. Thank you for the kind words.

I am just trying to make sure to keep scope reasonably in check for my set timeline. I have an idea about what I want to do, but I always appreciate insight.

Another goal I set was too make this one single tile in the game look as good as possible before expanding. I'd hate to have to redo everything multiple times. So that's why this tile is always show. Once I get water added I will begin expanding out. Water will be the final bit of depth I need.

Would appreciate some feedback and advice from other devs on what they feel is essential for a first slice. Some goals and ideas I have are.. Looting, menus/inventory, more enemies (unique mechanics), a sample of npc dialogue and a simple quest. Also save/load features and SFX. Ideas? Suggestions?

New Trees. Also some mock-up of the new enemies. Decided to reduce color count in them to make it more retro feeling.

Returning to coding in more features next week. My goal was to have a small "demo" of sorts by the end of November. (1/2)

Some new enemies to add into the game. Want to try my best to not do too many reskins of the same enemy and have them all serve a purpose. Summoner, Hexxer, Burrower, and a classic simple side to side enemy/obstacle.

In Witches and Butchers, there are some more experimental enemy types such as these ghosts who have the ability of altering the scroll speed of the dungeon, and other effects that will be added in the future.

Thank you very much!

After several days, I've revised all sprites to fit a style that I've always admired and enjoyed the aesthetic of. I still have a bit of work to do, but hopefully I can show some work later today. The attempted style is a sort of darker old-school Zelda, so I hope that gets across. Sneak Peak below.

In my to-do-list I have several instances of "revision" throughout. Which means I go back and revise code, art, or design. This time I went back to the art style as a whole. While I am happy w/ the palette, the sprite designs themselves missed the mark just a smidge. (1/2)

Really productive day. Finished reworking everything to states/components. Added ability, as well as interactions such has death and animations. Excited to have figured out a simple way for idle enemies to detect the player when attacked from distance.

My new open world precision "batformer" Vampire's Best Friend is out now on Steam and itch with a 10% launch discount!

Vampire hunters are after a mischievous vampire girl, and it's up to her pet bat to save the day!

Those armored ducks can be a pain in the butt sometimes!

Implemented simple state machines for player and the Blood Drop so I could pull off cooldowns and hurt animations. Feels a lot smoother.

If anyone who is new to godot or gamedev is curious about it or other things like scene transitions. Let me know.

CRT is gorgeous. I enjoy playing a lot of newer games with a CRT filter. Well done.

They are very hard to get right, but the depth they can add is so worth it.

The speed is definitely just some random number I chose and will be increased for sure.

Small progress report. New cliff tileset. Enemy chase ai. Health indicator. Scene transition. New sprites in general. Happy with the progress. Up next. Combat and Death. Let me know what you think.

Thank you! Here's a little sneak of some of the reworks.

I've been trying to always keep a foot in. I'll split my time between making art, and coding. Give my eyes a break both ways but I keep engaged in the material I'm working on. I also think its fine to completely abandon something if it doesn't work out how you wanted. Time learning is never wasted.

Always step back and away from your art, your eyes can make colors change in a way you don't intend.
