What do you think?

Nice artstyle.

Love the music and graphics. Here is a gameplay video of your game (unfortunately I got stuck at the beginning and couldn't play much):

The game looks really, great. I want to play it, i am gonna test it in some days

Overall a great demo! It might help to slow the movement speed a bit because the current speed makes platforming a bit tedious. It might also help to add hotkeys to the inventory slots because right now in combat you have to divert all of your attention to move the mouse to the item you want to use. These are just suggestions so do with them as you please. But other than that the game feels smooth, the pixel art is beautiful, and the concept is great!

A knight no more...

Lummis was once a knight from a distant, magical kingdom. Unfortunate events led it slowly to its demise, an inevitable fall. She doesn't understand how she survived, perhaps fate, or bad luck. Our main character wanders the lands aimlessly, giving up to despair and a meaningless life. Until one day, an old man, wise and bearded, approached her to tell her a story...

"There is a rumor, young one... In the far away lands rests a crystal that can restore that which you have lost... or give you a new purpose... Take this orb, and carry on with your quest. Find... your Relevance..."

What is Relevance?

Relevance is a 2D pixelated Metroidvania being developed by a solo dev. It takes inspiration from others in its genre, specially the classic Castlevania games. However, there is one thing that makes this one different; the open world. You are free to traverse wherever your boots take you, without loading screens or fade-in and outs. The demo on this page only represents the main mechanics and a glimpse of the graphics.

Since this is a #metroidvania and all, I was thinking on making breakables drop items, like my test in the video.

What do you think? 🤔

I just realized I never posted this here!

Here's a quick, short&sweet trailer I made for the Relevance Demo's release a few days ago. If you haven't seen or played the demo yet, come back after you've watched this trailer đź‘€

I'm moving on to develop the full game!

The Relevance Demo results weren't exactly something booming, but for my first game it had a nice number and amount of feedback. So I'll begin developing the full project! Check it out if you haven't and support it!

I uploaded the latest demo builds for Relevance. I was hesitant, but I took my time. Here's what improved!

•Now the demo's progress is saved

•Enemy AI fixed

•UI changes

•Character movement fixed

•Destroyed minor bugs

•Fixed some performance issues

Hello there đź‘‹

To those following my project I'd highly suggest checking out https://platinumware.itch.io/relevance instead. I'm constantly posting updates there and lots of fixes from the version here.

It takes about one hour to upload here. Thank you for understanding
