Some weapon designs. What’s your favorite type?

For the town, I'm trying to give it a cozy vibe with small alleys and open plazas, like a more rural town. I'd love to make it into a treasure hunt in disguise, like with Metroidvanias :)

Hard agree. For exteriors I'm still adding decorations (plants, npcs, bins, boxes...), which should allow for plenty of interaction and treasure hunting. For ruins, I'm going for connected rooms like a Metroidvania-- similar to Legends, but more puzzling and complex architecture.

As a kid, this was fun. As an adult, this feels surprisingly... dark

The town is taking shape! Which do you prefer, narrow alleys, or open areas?

Coding a new cannon weapon.

This reminded me of Breath of Fire IV. That was a gorgeous game.

Here's Coeti! The little mascot of Adamant Heart and your personal save point.

Nice! the shader part suddenly makes all the sense.

People will get upset, no matter what. Then again, I tend to follow an account for a specific niche… if you bring politics into it, I might unfollow because it’s not relevant to me.

Neat! I’m curious, what kind of resolution do these images have in game?

There is something about bright, saturated colors that just draws you in.

I'd love to, but it's waaay to early for that. If it turns into a serious project, though... :)

It's hard getting the balance right. Not too cramped, not too expansive and empty.
Frankly, I loved what they did in BoTW with the triangle approach.

Love seeing this kind of progress, having started gamedev 5 months ago. Gives me hope.

It's practically a love letter running on nostalgia, hahah
Still, it has an original setting and is slowly becoming its own thing. Here's hoping it turns into something worthy of a spiritual successor :)

My very first indie game now has a name AND a Steam page!
If you like Megaman Legends, make sure to wishlist Adamant Heart!

It's coming together, little by little.

I saw it a while ago. It’s fun that it seems like a reskin, until you see the mesh differences.

It does, however, submit to the whims of the mighty AnimationTree.

Banjo Kazooie mumbling, but wololo

Say hello to Erissa, the protagonist for my Megaman Legends inspired indie game!

Wait, neither are Megaman games?

Made a new enemy type. This one has a temper.

New enemy type! Something bigger, slower. #gamedev #indiegame #megaman

How to build a town. First try vs. second pass. Tons of cozy spots!

Also, each room becomes progressively harder as you go on, with different enemy types. Your first encounters are simple, then you start getting multiple types of enemies at once. All while getting used to controls, since this is a tutorial dungeon.

Started with a few rooms and settled for a ring-style layout. You keep going forward, and when the dungeon is cleared, you can take a shortcut to backtrack. Algon the way, you can find branching rooms with optional rewards, with higher difficulty.

Finally reached a dungeon map layout I'm happy with. A thread:

New enemy design! Can you guess what this one was based on?

Been working on the first outdoors level. Nothing beats a cozy prairie!
