Mmm... I changed my mind. This one's better.


Soooo, this is basically all the progress I've made since the last time I posted here This little project's taken a back seat at the moment while I slowly sort my life out, but I'll be back chipping away at it again as soon as I stop feeling guilty about having free time!

I went all the way back to the drawing board in the end, after I looked through a bunch of things I drew right before I gave up on art because I sucked, was never improving and would never develop my own style.

I actually think those old drawings were pretty good, it's obvious I was getting better with each one, and they distinctly all share a style. Who'd have ever thunk?

So I had a go at re-capturing it while I was trying to re-learn how to even just do a rough sketch, and ended up here. The short one's a first draft of the soon-to-be-very-tiny top down sprite version, whose running animation I absolutely will not overcomplicate to the point of butchery this time.

I still don't know what I'll end up settling on, but I do like this version way better!

Finally! an asset for this actual game instead of an old, unrelated one! I kind of hate it she keeps going momentarily bald, and how have I made her legs so weird, and I really need to make it transition nicer between directions... but it's a start!

Presenting as promised... one sprite! This is the first time I ever felt like I got the top-down angle right, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself. Now I get to do the fun part!

A menu! And a screen transition!! (that only works when loading files rn..) This all took way too long. But it does look cool!! Now let's see if I can do story time without writing an entire autobiography...

Aaand I went with something totally different Of course! Next - actual sprites, probably.

I remembered how to draw sort of!! Although perfectionism is not being my friend right now... maybe soon I'll stop pushing vectors around and actually achieve something, who knows, really? Maybe I'll push vectors around forever! It's anyone's game!!

Everything works!! No one's getting stuck in any walls, or flicked into space, or staring into the fire forever... success! Now it's time I finally write a little about the language and software I'm using, in case any of my 1 followers are interested...
