Project Sentinel - Zero Tolerance

Thanks for the reply. It was too fast before, I exported it at the default times, usually up to them around 140. The tails are something I'll need to redo for sure.

Thanks, I appreciate that especially as the npcs and enemies are all the solid colour base sprites there. I so struggle with the animation so perhaps I'm getting better at them lol!

Made a start on the enemy sprites. Tried to make a bit of an idle animation for this one. I think it's a bit too much.

Would love to be added If you still have space, thanks.

yeah I can't get anywhere with twitter either. I started them both roughly the same time. I get a lot more attention here.

No worries, appreciate the add :)

Wouldn't mind joining if you have the space, thanks

I used to do the same, make all my animations in MSPaint and then put them in Jasc Animation Shop to animate. Like you say, it's a lot easier now with Aseprite.

Another intro panel for Project Sentinel.

This is currently how it looks in-game. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #cyberpunk #screenshotsaturday

Here's one of the new intro panels for Project Sentinel.

Current animations for the main character. Some are a little rough and unfinished in places.

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

Morale is also linked to morale breaks where enemies have different behaviours when it hits. Some will run, some will cower and others will charge at you.

The roaring system is meant to give you some options in how to play. This and the arrest system will need some tweaking still.

Early version of the roar system. Each enemy has a morale stat that drops when their health reduces, they see allies die or they get roared at. Roaring forces low morale enemies into a surrender state for a short time so they can be arrested. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad this one turned out in the end.

Now I've finished the initial version of the roar system, I thought I'd throw a sprite together for it.

I'll drop a video of the system in action later today.

Thanks, I appreciate that, especially with all the enemies still being the roughs.

I've implemented a new bark system. Characters can have unique dialogue barks when certain actions and events happen around them. If an ally dies near another gang member, they may react to it.

Some vehicles can be used as one-way platforms. Various damage sprites and alarms are planned for future versions. The squeak will probably stay though! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #cyberpunk #screenshotsaturday

It's been quite some time since I last updated here, but progress has been going strong.

Here's a quick video showing some of the progress in the gameplay. Still pretty rough around the edges.

It's been a while since I last posted but progress is still being made behind the scenes. In the meantime, here's a new character concept. I don't want to reveal too much about this one yet. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameart #digitalart #cyberpunk

New Melee combo.
After doing this I just understand that a green sword is easier to read on a red character. 🧐

When I say normal mapping, I mean actual normal maps that can be added to help with lighting. I've played around with it a bit but I need to spend a lot more time with it. At the minute I'm just a bit more focused on getting some of the base sprites made.

Yeah, it's a good idea, I was just saying even if this doesn't work, the behaviours can be split to be used elsewhere. Like you say, lots of possibilities.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm still at an early stage with the lighting so it is off in places for sure. I have normal mapping to trial soon too. I want to try and work on some more sprites so I can replace rectangle placeholders first. Sorry I don't have either of those. I'm not big on social media.

I'll see how it goes and fine tune it. I can also reuse a lot of the behaviours from this particular AI in a lot of places too, which is the main thing really.

Here's the AI of one of the enemy types. This one ducks behind cover, fires for a bit and ducks back down again. It currently runs back if the player character gets close as well but not sure I'll keep that element yet. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #unity #madewithunity #pixelart #cyberpunk

I added a scanline effect earlier alongside some additional lighting effects. I also added some AI in too, which I'll show a little later. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #unity #madewithunity #pixelart #cyberpunk

I struggle with names to be fair. Blaze might be used for another character I have planned but Jane could work. Thanks for making some suggestions, it's appreciated.
