Timelapse of the giant knight. Did a bit of design as I went through. Spot when I remembered that Chance is right-handed 😂.

Warning: There might be a bit of flashing in the video as I turn layers on and off.

As well as the pixel art, over the last few days I've worked on some snappy camera transitions between areas.

Woodland scene has gone from test to in-game. Chance now has access to that little chest!

Chance's animations are still old but the dungeon sprites from the art test look super nice in-game. Has that #zelda feel just moving around.

Plenty still to do but off to a good start in 2025.

What do you think?

Some more reflection on 2024: Chance is a Zelda-like and based on the ALttP Randomizer romhack concept. I spent a some of March learning to build the logic so that the player can always unlock every chest.

Here's how I've been testing it without the item mechanics. #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

Chests change depending on the area Chance is exploring so you have to be on the lookout for them in a new area, they might be a bit better at blending in.

Chests are a big part of Chance’s journey. Every time she collects a time crystal all her belongings get scattered around the world again, so she must find these chests to recover her items!

As such, they also deserved a bit of a glow-up.

Progress on Chance’s updated standard attack. Not sure how happy I am with it yet, but it’ll do until version 3.

Chance can move in 4 directions again. Updated run sprite is finished after a break to do other bits and bobs. Need to drop her back into the game soon.

The slimes… they’re learning to defend themselves… 😳
