Starting the development


After the basic concepts for the game cover, it was time to begin to develop the game.
Generally, most of game developers use a simple kind of GDD (Game Design Document) this isn’t mandatory, but I’m one of these people :)

For this task, a simple text document is enough. I prefer the MS Word, this case.

Finally, the funnest time has come: DRAW PIXEL ART!

When I begun the GDD, I was posting some game assets on the OPEN GAME ART’s website ( http://opengameart.org ) at same time, when, by coincidence, I found this incredible spritesheet that reminds my concept art: http://opengameart.org/content/i-are-spaceship-16x16-space-sprites

Since I discovered the illustrator Bart shared his art like public domain, I decided continue his work. Starting fro his original sprites, I created my own, and I loved the results.

Now, the game begins to take form. The next step: create the environment.

Runestones: from concept to in-game model🗿

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Werehog transformation process. #sonicunleashed

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
