Before I go off showing the other world maps, I want to make sure they're all up an running first. Here's the stage unlock sequence I'm working on, along with me zipping around with the new running functionality!

Recently I've been updating existing world maps, along with creating new maps for the worlds without one. Here's the new rendition of the Fall Forest!

Behold the big bad of World 4 - the Countess! With a wide array of projectile-based attacks and a fast-paced second phase, the Countess serves as the challenging finale to this late-game world.

Something dark lies in wait for you within the tall towers at end of World 4...

For our last stop in World 4, we have the Twilight Towers! Get ready to pull of some cool moves in this stage as you wall jump off banners, burst into the air with para-potions, and zip across grind rails!

Venturing further into World 4, we have the Labyrinthine Library! Make use of the Portal Books to warp around the enchanted halls of this stage, and don't forget to keep quiet please!

Up next for completed world 4 stages, we have Poltervac Passage! Make use of your new Poltervac to suck things up and shoot them out as powerful projectiles. You can also pull off some crazy movement!

Here we go, a look at the first complete World 4 stage, the Stinky Sewer! Throughout this stage you'll find shrinking pipes that allow you to freely change your size to overcome obstacles both big and small!

Another development update, 4-2 and 4-3 are both complete, and 4-4's stage design in now in progress. Once that's done, I'll likely begin designing the backgrounds for the world 4 stages.

And finally we have some some world 4 sprites to show off! Things are still in the works here though, but progress is coming along nicely.

Shhhhhh! These blindfolded ghouls may not be able to see, but they can hear just about anything. Make too much noise around them, and they'll give chase!

Bit of a development update, the level designs for world 4 are now in the works! 4-1 is already functionally complete, (check out these new shrinking pipes), and 4-2 is well underway and coming along nicely.

Won't have much to share gameplay-wise for a bit since I'm currently working on a bunch of back-end stuff for Candy Quest. So, I'm gonna share some sprite work in the meantime, starting off with the Fall Forest!
#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #Nintendo #gameboy #gbstudio #pixelart
Sprites from the Fall Forest. Including the player, collectable items, enemies, and more.
