The moles are perhaps not the brightest of the animal folk, but they love what they do, you know? And that counts for something. #screenshotSaturday #GameDev #indiedevs #metroidvania #pixelArt

For this #screenshotSaturday, I'm reposting our *world map"*created by @transientcode.bsky.social .
(1/?) Like many search-action / metroidvania games, unlocking & completing the "game map* is part of the core gameplay.

Look, I'm trying to use this save point. It's weird with you just hovering like that - I need some space, okay? Alright, that was hurtful, I'm sorry.

Recreated the first simple puzzle room I ever made for BtK. I still like it... and I still love shrubs! Gives deadly exploration a little of that good ol' holiday cheer.

1) traditional ability gate requires ground pound
2) goofing around with the first subweapon (bombs)
3) realizing it's a sequence breaker
4) hell yeah leave it in

Map Update 3/3! Here is the "art map" for the game, created by true original @transientcode.bsky.social. Along w/ the room map shown in prior updates, the player can zoom out to see this alternate viewpoint. It was a DELIGHT working w/ them to keep it accurate to world-traversal. #PixelArt #GameDev

Map update 2/3. Last update showed the beginnings, and here is what it will mostly look like in-game (after you've found the maps in question and visited all non-secret rooms). Music by Alecxs Sunders, more info in replies! #Metroidvania #Fantasy #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieGames

Map progress! This version won't really be seen anywhere, but it's the starting point for what will eventually be in the in-game map menu. All of these rooms are finished in-engine as well; just a big punchlist of tasks before the demo is ready. But getting there! #GameDev #PixelArt #Metroidvania

Long shot, but I’m hoping to find the original artist behind the fox creature here. It was originally a digital painting, I believe. Saw it on my timeline sometime this spring and made this pixel sketch of it- liked it and wanted to share, but also give credit! Anyone recognize it?
