It's been a while since I shared anything #Castlegate related, but I have restarted making the game in Gamemaker and am further than I was in Godot. More to come soon, but in the meantime here are some new screens

There is a red and gold tapestry hanging form the long wall. A pixel art scene of an old spiral stairway made of stone brick. There is red light filtering in from a broken window, and a statue is broken in the background.

Swordtember 3 - Automaton
"A sword powered by gears and a specialized magic system by the use of rubies. It can extend up to double its length, if enough magic is supplied. The pummel and grip seem to be able to be screwed into something, but we are currently unsure of what."

#pixel #pixelart
A pixel art piece of items such as a sword, staff, double bladed scythe, spear, shield, seaweed whip, water flail, twin dueling daggers at a higher resolution, and a potion, compass, ring, and bracelet at a smaller resolution.

So yesterday was too cold and rainy to move stuff so I did do some art! Just some portrait tests for #TaleofRortia. Colors aren't final, and neither are some of the head sketches, but it's a good start for me

Sorry about the lack of posting! I've got convention work and I just bought a house so needless to say I will be very busy until roughly June. I do have art and music plans, as well as more world building for Rortia on the way! Until then, have a pic of an organ I'll be fixing up that I got for free
