2022 vs Now... #Varminal #IndieDev #RPG #MarioandLuigi
The character sprites aren't the only thing that look much better - thanks to our new tile artist Gardy, the environments also got a massive upgrade!
The difference is night and day, isn't it?
Next up
Items are usable yet again! Complete with a new, more expressive and fluid animation. We're getting closer and closer to getting back where we were with the old battle system... but now with so much more style and charm! #Varminal #Indiegame #Indiedev
Another part of the battle system is finished - finally, all the death & revive animations are completed! This time, instead of a generic crystal, a special rejuvenating balm is the item needed to wake your friend back up.
With the overworld's base mechanics close to being fully implemented, we're going back and finally progressing the battle system again! Here's a look at some new animations, new UI, and new.. well, everything! (BG is a placeholder though) [🔊Sound on!]
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
We're finally back in action! And with a new bit of progress: enemies can now be hit on the overworld, and the battle transitions have a little jingle leading into the battle theme!
We’re teaming up with Neowiz to support developers with a narrative game jam! The jam kicks off October 31 in the Game Dev community, so join the community and assemble your team: https://gamejolt.com/c/gamedev
With a new art style and a more skilled team, we were finally able to finally make the menus according to the first concept behind them - now Plink displays every option, not just the move icons! A diegetic touch to tie UI and the game world a little.
Tara's Jump counterattack has been re-implemented as well, now with completely new animations! In the old beta, we just reused the overworld jump sprites, but I wanted to go the extra mile, and I think it looks way more satisfying this way!
Bunnies are quite energetic, but none more so than Fluffyroll! Merchant, teacher, and babysitter to many children! 🐇
She's a great role model for the kids, like a cool aunt! 😎
In between us adding and re-implementing other animations and features, we finished both characters' item use animations.
Now they can throw them to each other, just like before, and also have a new animation for drinking stuff!
