Apologies for lack of recent updates, still busy with the job hunt and the dev work I've been doing is mostly refactoring, condensing, cleaning, and commenting my code so not much to visibly show at the moment. But here is Feather, an OC of mine, in the meantime. #indiedev #1bit #pixelart

It's been a bit since I've last posted an update, been busy job hunting and fighting off the horrors (you know how it is), but I'm coming out of it, and am working on implementing a swarm enemy, the first support type, it doesn't appear on it's own but it'll (de)buff others #indiedev #pixelart #1bit

I'm usually mainly a lurker on social media with rare art posts, ik its been a while, but ive been really considering using this space as a place to ventpost so i can trepan myself, the times are stressful and its been causing mental gear grinding again so maybe itll be a modicum of relief to do so

Every day the horrors persist is another I will as well. I live hoping and striving to see the future I want to create, for my friends, for my partner, for me. Sometimes the days are hard and nothing is to be done, yet I am here and will be as long as I can help it. The horrors will pass eventually.

Last year I increasesd the resolution for a better overworld scale and higher res menu/battle sprites. In preparing for adding bosses, this week I've reanimated the bug sprite to match player sprites, im slow for now but am getting faster

After wandering for a while avoiding fights, I found a strange shop deep in these caves.
Willa sells one time use items like potions. They'll be useful against the nest, but alchemy seems complicated, so I'll just buy some for now and sell my bug legs. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #1bit #pixelart

At the start of each run you pick two characters, one to lead and another to follow, and in total there will be six playable characters, each unlocked through different means. The leader for each run will also have some unique interactions with npcs and other mechanics #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

the next feature is taking longer to implement than I thought it would, so for now here is an upgrade to the equipment screen.
Now your equipment also shows your money (shards), and battle loot.
You'll see what the bottom rows are for once they are implemented, but they'll be helpful for battles. :)

First post, a title screen.
Over the last year I've been learning and mastering 1-bit pixel art and gdscript in order to bring my game development dream into reality. I hope you'll follow me as I add features and refine the quality of Eclipse Tower until its eventual release.

I've been real quiet with my art this year, but it's because I've been slowly working on a game in the background, a turn-based roguelike with a focus on positioning.
Eventually I'll have a trailer together when what I already have done is polished enough to show off.
