Alpha 3.2 is now out. This one is a bug fix and improve quality of life. The next update will be Alpha 4 which has the new systems. Hit the Read article button on this post to see the full notes.
Special thanks to XICX for all his testing and support.


This build focused on annoying bugs and improving quality of life. Before making new features we focus on killing as many new bugs as possible or already existing bugs. We want to do this to improve the quality and improve player experience.

Special thanks to XICX for all his testing and support.

- When you die and choose new game you aren't frozen anymore.

- You can now properly load the game from a save file.

- The camera now properly goes to the correct room when loading a save file.

- Fixed a couple broken physics colliders in the save room corner, so no more falling into darkness.

- When picking up a new item the item box is in the top center of the screen. The box that tells the name of the items you picked up.

- Fixed the start screen text from overlapping the load box.

- Fix some issues you player goes through stairs and gets stuck.

For this one if you find any stairs you get stuck in please comment here and report it so I can fix it and maybe rewrite the physics formula to detect stairs.

We talked about other areas in patch notes, but haven't shown some of the art. This is just a little thrown together demo of some of the clock tower art. We don't want to share the actually rooms or we might spoil somethings. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565

Got volumetric lighting working with my custom shaders. Will need to tweak some settings and working on the castle environment lighting now. Pictures are with and without the lighting enabled for the player and throne.

Here are some more NPC art. Next week we will have the character art for the town people started. One of these animations is just for small detail when entering the library randomly. Would be boring if every character only had one type of idle animation.

Working on some level design prototyping for some of the underground areas. Wanted to just share some things I am testing. Mainly having waterfalls as a background element for the caverns.

Wanted to share some of the rooms I am working on for the first Alpha and show I have the start of a cutscene tool I made for allowing customizable mini events and cutscenes to be quickly created. #immortal_chronicles #metroidvania #devlog #pixelart

While working on the first full Alpha build, I decided to start adding a little bit of NPC dialogue and other stuff to start making the game feel somewhat alive during the early alpha stages.

Work in progress knight attack. We are aiming to get out first three monsters made so you got a variety of monster to fight in the demo.

Alright after a crap ton of time we found a UI artist that can do pretty good. This is early Work in progress. We will release the next update when we get two menus screens done instead of waiting for all the UI to be completed. Look forward to it.

Started on the interior for the tavern. The tavern will be where you get quests and can gather information from NPC you made friends of. The tavern NPCs are just stock placeholder art for now and will be replaced later with more custom art.

Got some of our favorite grim reaper's animations in with the first set of conversations with him. Will be in the next game build. Video showing off his little idle animation.
