I won't be making any huge updates for a while due to uni starting up again, for now, here's a demonstration of how crazy the sequence breaking can get in this game (notice the lack of mech. area).

Also, finally, minimap icons!

While the mechanical area is waiting for testing, I've started work on the swamp/Atlantis area - excuse the placeholder gfx!

A girl with long dark hair, wearing brown rags over blue clothes, and barefoot, sitting on a big floating lyre with a blue aura. The background shows a dark forest with purple and blue tones.

BRASS MAN - Entry to the MMDO Robot Master Design Contest

Brass Man was built to entertain with incredible trumpet solos, helping marching bands in need. However, when Wily took control of him, he began playing extremely loudly and sharply 
on purpose, causing havoc wherever he goes. 

He is equipped with all essential components 
of a trumpet, with the main attraction being his mouthpiece-shaped buster, which sucks in air 
to produce the notes Brass Man desires to play. Hitting the valve on top of his head will tone him down a step, but he will be ready to adjust his tactics, so watch out, Mega Man!

I was gonna record this but OBS said no, so here's a screenshot: I've implemented icons for the notes in #lyrestruck to make a clearer visual connection to the instrument. Lemme know what you think :)

I may not enjoy making tilesets, but I love making silly little critters. Can you guess what each of them is based on?

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you
