The Art Behind Dark Queen

...is rooted in iconic animations, and timeless pieces of art that evoke strong atmospheres and unforgettable visuals.

In this post we’ll take a look into some of the biggest inspirations that are shaping the world of Dark Queen.

Reap is going to be released tomorrow (6/16/2019). It will feature 24 levels that reward thoughtful playing, skill and patience.

One thing I've noticed with these new animations is that the Grim Reaper is now looking like his wearing pajamas XD #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Another level with trampolines... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame

Reap is released! Try it out and let me know what you think! :D

For combat mechanics, we are mostly taking inspiration from God of War and Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
