Ooooo OOOOO Here's a little demo of our battle backgrounds. Obviously just a quick mockup using our current tools. πŸ‘€

It'll have parallax and multiple layer effects as we make more official ones! 😳 (holy moly)

Howdy there, #PortfolioDay! You can call me NineDozen, I'm the owner of Candletown Studios! I wear a lot of hats to get our games made!

We're working on an RPG called #Azurebloom and a fighting game called #VoidXFantasy

Here's some of my art! Enjoy!

It'll be on steam and consoles but we're not even close to release haha. However, we are planning on releasing demos when they're ready! So you'll be able to try those out!

Hey folks! Sorry I haven't uploaded in a hot minute! I need a bit of a break from dev and socials. πŸ₯Ί

Been playing some games like Pokemon / No Mans Sky and such to ease off the burnout!

But, with the month over, I'm planning on getting back into the thick of it!

Here's my cat Goose.

Oh right, I can update y'all on the coding side of stuff.

Basically, I've restructured Actors (the thingies that become NPCs, enemies, and the player, etc) to be more modular. Cleaned up a LOT of code.

Now I'm onto the stage where I can start making ENEMIES. Dats pretty neat, huh? πŸ‘€

Fighting this is going to be hard, but we're going to get through it. I love you with all my heart.

Genuinely curious and asking for a friend who is making a game, what type of indie game genre appeals to you? Like if you saw it on steam you'd immediately click it.

the Cave Story mockup that almost came out officially.
I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game.

Pixel approved!
Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

As a huge Cave Story fan I've been wanting *more* but as you've said, Nicalis is an odd publisher. Makes me wish for what could've been. 😭

I've already bought the game on every platform πŸ₯² I woulda done it again

I originally used the quote sprite as a reference for our player character (16x16) but I wanted more personality (now 16x24)

Looks like you did both haha, chunky and cute while also adding lots of detail. Gonna have to look closely at some of the tricks you used in these

We're working on a game inspired by Cave Story ourselves, I had no idea these existed!

Looking at these gives a lot of insight on the aesthetic! 🀩

Ive had that happen to me before. I usually approach it with a different perspective, I usually try to make something I want to make but focus on a particular fundamental. That usually helps me at least.
