Lago and her adoptive father Mogu discuss an old sword that belonged to her master. Mogu claims that she will be allowed to keep it, as soon as she grew tall enough to pull it out in one go. Lago struggles to unsheathe the large claymore with her puny arms, but soon switches to her prehensile tail to draw the weapon fully, with a defiant look on her face. Mogu didn't account for that possibility and hastily announces that her tail doesn't count, while his son Emil laughs at the whole situation.

Mogu thought he was being clever, failing to consider the giant, prehensile extra limb.

Upon reading this, I immediately went to my back window in case any animals showed up in the backyard. I saw a red squirrel trying to dropkick a pigeon there once, so whenever it shows up I call my wife and tell her: "Look, it's the squirrel that dropkicks pigeons. Maybe he will do it this time."

Some sketches. The way she draws the sword changed quite a bit from the initial sketch. Lifting a heavy sword over her head seemed unnecessarily dangerous..

Night of the Zoopocalypse | WATCH THE FULL MOVIE in English (HD) for one week
YouTube video by Viva Kids Films Night of the Zoopocalypse | WATCH THE FULL MOVIE in English (HD) for one week

The "family-friendly zombie movie", Night of the Zoopocalypse is free on youtube for a week.
Cool movie, definitely aimed at kids but still got some chuckles out of me with the visual gags.

A graphite drawing of four gnomes: a wizard, fighter, priest, and a thief. Oft underestimated for their stature and habilimentary habits, few are better prepared for delving into the deep dark of the Underrealm.

Mighty Goose is our epic run & gun shooter starring a bounty hunter Goose!

YES, that sounds incredibly silly, but make no mistake: This is our love letter to the genre, with a very big wink ;)

Check out the trailer and LET LOOSE THE GOOSE!! #gamedev #pixelart (links πŸ‘‡)

Mara Forest from the retro survival horror game Crow Country! May be my favorite game of 2024 so far, so I drew her to celebrate the Switch and asia release.

Ah I think you can get a feel for it after a while, it's just rough in the beginning. Another way to put it is that everything deals 2 dmg, except Hornet-sized weapons/enemies and small projectiles.

The 2 dmg actually has requirements, like a large enemy/weapon or flurry attacks. Static hazards deal 1 mask, moving hazards deal 2.. ironically they broke that rule by nerfing some hazards.
I feel like gauging how much dmg an attack will deal is only unpredictable with small bosses.

Ah good point, there was this really long stretch coming from The Marrow.

Was it that bad? I think the difficulty came from learning diagonal pogo and adjusting to normal enemies having more threatening movesets. It felt more like a "not supposed to be here yet" area since I forced my way past the big guard without exploring Deep Docks first.

Lago's jaw tail isn't based on any creature she encountered, so it looks a bit sloppy. According to Lago, her master is able to create a much larger version that could crush buildings..

I found the difficulty to be adequate! Bilewater was funny and I even liked the infamous Coral Tower gauntlet.

Just completed Silksong and adored every second of it, this little bug world really strikes a cord with my heart. Other metroidvanias will have a hard time impressing me now, this kind of game only comes along once every 5-10 years.

That's one part of the problem, but retail stores are also a factor. You have unlimited quantities of products on the digital store, but your local Gamestop may run out of stock on popular releases.

I grab Nintendo games physical because of their track record with availability of older games, but otherwise I've resignated to digital. The physical PC market crumbled because it can't provide the same convenience as digital storefronts, and that's what matters to most consumers.

I haven't drawn grown-up Lago in a while, so here goes. Felt good to work on something more detailed inbetween comic pages.
Even with references, abs are still tricky to get right, huh.

Interesting, the limited color is what drew me in because I am extremely fatigued of the overuse of magic glowing stuff and neon colors in fantasy settings. I can see how Hollow Knight is the other extreme, though. It's a matter of taste.

I playtested a similar RO-inspired game recently and noticed that I like to switch to WASD for precision movement, and to free up my mouse for skill-targeting. It's definitely a nice option to have.

I had my first encounter with this today. Was watching a music-only videogame trailer and wondered why there was a female voice saying "PIXEL" every 20 seconds. Turns out it interpreted some sound effect wrong. I was able to turn it off in the settings of the video player.

Lago, Emil and Sif pose with their printed-out rpg character sheets. Sif notices that "rambunctious" is one of her traits and asks what that word means. Her father replies that it describes her continuous efforts to keep him alert. Sif, failing to understand that "rambunctious" may be a negative trait, assures her father that she will keep it up.

I made a simple rpg system to keep track of strengths and weaknesses for my characters, it's easy to manage and modify.

Their japanese names use basic katakana (RaGo, EMiRu, ShiFu) so it should be alright, but let me know if I wrote anything bad on there.
