Hey all, I made one important change to the engine today. Made the smaller enemies that infinitely spawn become far easier to defeat, and I also fixed the teleporter room to not throw the player into spikes. Hope those changes will improve the game!
Next up
Here's all the minibosses that'll appear in Steel Maiden, albeit spoiling things with ALL the sprites given early access. Took me a minute or so just to get all these done, and it's a nice reveal on what the minibosses do ingame.
This is the camper that Dr. Zephyr and Steel Maiden stay in. While it looks quite amazing for a sprite, it's still just the 8 bit Dove Camper revamped with shading. Hope it looks good for any cutscene.
The fortress bosses for Steel Maiden to battle against. Some look rather familiar while others are quite new, but they'll provide a great challenge anyways. The bottom boss is the final boss, and it'll be the strongest of the group!
Different from the usual weapons of Megaman, and they're coming from rather unique villains that Steel Maiden will fight against. Instead of the usual elemental stuff, it'll require imagination to figure out weaknesses!
Here are the enemy drones for Creature Hunt, sure they're very similar to what I created in past games, but they'll be different enough to provide a good challenge. I'll also add objects that spawn enemies a lot, which will add to challenge too.
This is the Chairlady's original sprite. Sure she's not changed too much, but the cloak did make her look more sinister. However, the name she'll have will be decided soon, so look forward to that.
A big change from the tiny sprites I usually draw, we finally have some pixel art for Steel Maiden. Might not be amazing, but still looks great anyway.
Might not be much of an update, but what I did here was give Steel Maiden's special weapons their own colors. Similar to Megaman, it's a good way to know which weapon you have so you don't get confused!
This is the pause menu for Creature Hunt. I know it's not great so far, but still good for showing the basic meters for the player and shows a menu to access energy refills.
Another update I haven't shown until now. Here's some tiles that could make it into Diamond Dolls, and they look fully 16 bit. They could make the game look much better than what tiles I had before.
