Hi! This is a page tracking the progress of my indie game project, Bernadetta and the Beanstalk! (Working title)
Trying to use this to blog and keep myself accountable for working on it! Thanks for checking me out!

Hi all! I'm a #indiegamedev who's been working for a couple months on my game, Bernadetta and the Beanstalk- a metroidvania based around fairy tales, mythology, and lots and lots of jumping.
I'm hoping to show off what I have so far, and hopefully track development!
Somehow I managed to finish Bernadetta's jump animation after only 2 days! I normally don't have the time to sit down and pump something like this out so fast, but I'm proud I could this time!!
Now only to figure out the firing in air, firing left, and firing down in the air animations!!

Finally just wrapped up Bernadetta's ref, as well as some shading methods/notes for myself, so I can keep consistent when drawing out some talk sprites n whatnot

ALSO, finally managed to motivate myself to make the jump animation, so, we're deep in that now

One of the animations I think is in a good spot! When working on Bernadetta's animations, I try really hard to do two things:
make her outfit move with her
and make her as expressive as possible- really helps get across her inexperienced/silly personality

Some concept art for shooting. The general idea is that you can fire to attack, but also to move! Been very fun to figure out how to express Bernadetta's characters into her animations

Introducing Bernadetta!
A self proclaimed giant hunter, Bernadetta is braving the mighty beanstalk to avenge her home!
This is an image I hope to use in dialogue sequences. Was hoping to scale it down to look like old DS game sprites, but I have yet to find a good way to do it lol
