On today's episode of Pixel Art Fundamentals: That is Not What the Sun Looks Like!

Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I shaded the old version. The new one looks more like an actual light source.

Egad, what's with all the enemies popping out of the walls lately? Can't you all just sit out in the open like proper gentlemen?

Hmm, what was that someone said about backstabbing?

This is Tuhrahkkkii's final alternate weapon, the Beam Claws. These emphasize quick burst damage and hit-and-run tactics. They also pair nicely with the Grappling Hook, but I was too busy kicking fools here to show that off.

Aaaaand, we're back! Development on phase 3 (the final phase!) has begun, with Kodon's last weapon: The Beam Flail!

This is a clumsy but powerful weapon. It has a very long reach and hits hard, but it's not fast. Use it on enemies too close for your gun!

Did I ever tell you that this game is actually fully rendered in 3D???

...Well, it isn't. Anyway, perspective is hard but I managed to get this new shop image drawn up.

Mmm, toasty.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

And here's the shop animation for last week's new flail weapon.

Its jump attack hits a wide area, making it perfect for swatting flying enemies!
