Ive also been adjusting the first secret boss, which was a tad too frustrating.

Funny enough, his moveset didn't change. I just added the ability to bounce on his head and land charged attacks, then he became way more manageable.

This one isn't new but it's a cool fight. This game overall serves as a nice opportunity to test out new mechanics since i dont have to provide as much art or logic to it.

Running a blank on blood&flames, so ill go work on my side project for a bit.

For a comedy game, its really not all that funny so maybe ill try adding some background gags as well as reworking the hub.

Wanna master Kristala's combat? Get familiar with parry timing. Deflect attacks to drain an enemy's balance and land a satisfying critical takedown. 🔥

Worst part of being a solo dev? Having to keep every secret to myself 🫤

Added some of those new affects to later bosses and they are WILD!!!
0% chance I can show it here🤔

I can add it to that one robot test attack, not as cool though🤷

Since the updates redesigned the astrologers to have makeshift outfits. I've kind of been getting the vibe that Aster used to be into larping since he just happen to be owning an actual robe.

Here is my current progress on the ashen highland and some new ennemies.

As you can see, my workflow tend to consist in starting with a pre-existing mob and slowly edit them into the new one.

since ive been reworking the prologue, ive also made some tweaks to its boss fight, the Chieftain.

Its a fairly complex fight for the early game but Jupe is quite overpowered in the prologue

I worked with my brother on this gamejam game some time ago, where you gotta defend your home from the governement using mutant plants. Its pretty simple and short so you should give it a shot.

It can be hard to talk to other gamedevs, so to get to know each other, let's talk about our monsters, races, and other blorbos.

and if you don't know what to say, just post a gouda

Okay, can we talk about those bosses in dark soul who have a bunch of individually moving teeth like gaping dragon and chaos witch quellag?

Is there any actual animals whose jaw work that way, or does it purely exist to be unnerving?

Feel it wouldnt help eating...

okay kind of remembered that one gag in futurama where fry is in the desert on an alien planet and see the sun setting, only for a bigger sun to immidiately appear on the other side.

but then i realised...wait if the stars are in roughly the same spots, would day lenght even be affected?

I thought the stitched wasn't as threathening as i wanted it to be, so i added this move where it covers the ground in toxic sludge, which hinders your movement.

It will always follow it up with its running swipe to capitalise on it.

I just played this one and id recommend it. Its short and simple, with some good athmosphere and gameplay that focus on being slow and careful.

Currently working on the design for the frost korugues.

They are loosely based on mooses, being huge, with thick fur and long limbs (especially the arms)

Being a mid-game elite enemy, they would have a wide assortements of melee and frost attacks.

Just learned about this #FollowFriday thing.

I make sidescroller-adventure games and post about my progress or thoughts on game design/fantasy writing/worldbuilding.

Here my current progress on the mid-game area, the ashen highland. The zone has a high focus on frost damage, which reduces the content of the heat bar (used for both special attacks and health regen)
