Pretty happy with how it turned out ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Didn't post in a while BUT I've been working on the game and actually coded a new mechanic.
Surprisingly enough, it seems to work as intended ๐Ÿ‘€

Also reworked the UI and I'm much happier with it now. Still need work, though.

Also... Silksong ๐Ÿซฃ

If you see this, post something monochromatic!

Maybe I'll come back to this style in a future project, who knows?

Mmmh... I don't really know which one I like better?
I like the menacing feel of one, but also the more bizarre look of the other...

Also... Yeah, it might be the first boss of the game ๐Ÿ‘€

It means a lot to me as I think Vermis is one hell of a piece of art ๐Ÿ™

Added some foreground elements while also trying to play with pixel size to convey a feeling of depth.
I think it's not that bad ^^

Hey, it's not that bad! ๐Ÿ˜

I'm still trying to figure out the overall look of it, but I want to go for something miniamlist. I feel good about this for now ^^

My creative process is pretty consistent:
- postpone starting because I'm nervous it'll be bad
- look at tens of references
- start
- it is actually bad
- throw everything away
- take a break for a day or two
- come back to it
- start again
- hey, it's not that bad!

Every. Time.

Didn't have time to work on Heroic for a few weeks, so I was feeling a bit down about it.
So I decided to launch the game and... was actually quite happy with what's going on so far ^^

Can't wait to come back to it!

Keep on keeping on ๐Ÿ‘

Hey, I actually like the mood I'm going for!
(Sorry for the mouse pointer, it won't be in the game... hopefully ๐Ÿฅต)

Ok, now hear me out... There's a good chance the RNG I coded for my game is working as intended ๐Ÿ‘€

Crazy good film from Alberto Mielgo!
The whole artistic direction for this game is absolutely stunning.

I'm really sad it ends up being an extraction shooter as I was really hoping it would be an immersive solo experience with intricate writing like the OG trilogy, but for each their own, I guess.

I'm at that strange point where my game mechanic is "almost" working properly but is still "not really" working and is doing something that it shouldn't possibly be doing ๐Ÿคท

Just my humble opinion, but you should REALLY play this game!

Me: I've coded this system, let's see if it works for this character?

Game: It works, mate.

Me: Cool! Let's copy this to the other 3 characters.

Game: What if it works for another one and, for the others, it's completely broken and I don't tell you why?

Ok, got a pretty basic gameplay loop set up. Still have a lot of things to work on, but it's a start โœŒ๏ธ

Finished Bloodborne once again.

It's been something like 6 years since I last played it and I was thinking that maybe it aged a bit, but no, it's still a bloody gem of a game and one that I truly admire for (amongst many other things) its ability to restrain itself for coherence's sake.
