In Essence: Nil - (MaidxMan) / chapel on Steam
This is a bullet hell platforming RPG about a priestess rescuing a city from multiple factions by purifying enough shrines around the world and killing their leaders.
store.steampowered.com
This is the game I released Halloween of 2024. I realized I never actually posted it here.

Working on the environment for the first area. I think it's kinda fun to make all the little parts of the map. I have a small scanner and can't use paper much larger than... A5 I think it is?

Working full-time sucks so much ass, I'd have so much more done.

A collection of all the assets I have drawn so far. I'd like to do this more as I draw more cards. I am holding off on showing gameplay until it looks nice.
Notice there are in game versions of character amd enemy sprites.

Ooo, this is the person that inspired me to make my own game engine.
Excited to announce that my horror exploration game 'Apparatus: Exanimus' will be releasing on Steam Friday November 7th!

Made the back drop for the game, similar to those Japanese shooters this will always be in the background. They have a lot more tact with theirs tho.
It says: "God's eyes see no pain, deaf to the wails of the weak, touch numb in its embrace."

You can try it if you'd like. It's only about 15-20 minutes.

Some drawings of more enemies for my game. These sprites are not in the play windows but will be displayed... somehow, working on that...

Been working at the game on and off. This uses my old engine so development for it is going pretty quick so far. The longest part is going to be drawing all the sprites.
I did differentiate the placeholder sprites so it looks better. This is all still early.
640×480 btw

Man, I will never forget the time I was playing SS13 and decided to make LSD. I dunno how I got the ability to, I think I went nurse or something. And then when not enough people were taking my lsd I started injecting people with it against their will... ah... memories.

The "gameplay" it is so early I was like, eh, why show it. None of the textures are in yet, so it's just Peter's cross. The long one on the right will be the protagonist, the right bottom is hud, and the area I am moving in is the game area. Just wanna be like, I am doing something.

All of the base images for the protagonist, in the game, it will just but the right two, tho, the first one was just to get the idea going.
I have decided to go for it, I have some "gameplay" to show, but it is very early.

New ideas!?!?!?!?
I'm thinking of making a quick game just to be creative. I have been doing engine dev for a whole year and this is killing me. I want to make an actual game now. Despite the sun it will be it's own standalone thing. I want to see if I can get this made in a few weeks.

I don't normally have anything showing my process (because nobody cares lmao), but I did take a few pics while sketching Matricide, and I think it's somewhat interesting.

I have been doing a bit more work on multiplayer coding. This is VERY VERY early. Like, not even pre alpha early, but I just wanna show progress and talk. There is probably going to be pvp in the game.

Yeah I was thinking about not posting this here but I dunno, it would be disingenuous to not show this considering I think this is representative of who I am as an artist, this is the type of shit I want to make and it's not gonna stop. Plus, this is a species in my series!

I am working on the code for the game, but this early there is literally nothing worth showing. The online functionality is really rough, and I am not sure how viable it is.
