Game
The Soul of Joy
4 years ago

I need to come clean here... I've sorely underestimated how much I've loaded onto myself.


3 months ago I said I uploaded a personal project, and said that would mark when I'd finally begin taking up this game again. The truth is...

That personal project was a short 20-minute platformer, that took me two whole years to bring myself to finishing. And it's a game that's gotten mixed reviews; at least from my friends and colleagues, as those are mostly the only people who even know that project exists.

And it's starting to slap me with a hard dose of reality; am I really, truly going to finish *this* game, a platformer that's meant to both tell a compelling story and potentially span for at least an hour or so of gameplay? And all in someone else's world, rather than my own creation where I can comfortably set my own rules.

But then I ask myself, if I can't keep my word on finishing this project, what commitments can I expect to carry out as a developer?

I don't want to give up, I don't want to disappoint anyone, but at the same time I have to start being honest with myself. I've been getting nowhere with this, and I can't keep waiting for a sudden rush of motivation; it just isn't going to come, not out of plain nowhere.

Next up

I just finished playing Deltarune Chapter 2. Decided to make a thing. (Just so we're clear, while Bettina uses Joyce as her avatar, Joyce is still often represented as her own person separate from Bettina.)

Some work in progress...

Gameplay/Animation test...

Evolution of Joyce and Neela's sprites. From their first appearance in this project, to a short-lived second edition that used my personal project as a template, to now their latest sprites.

Just here to wish you all a happy Halloween!

After a few years of honing my spriting skills, I've decided to try upgrading Joyce and Neela into a higher resolution with more detail. Here is a gif that demonstrates the latest pixel-art for them! ^_^

So

i may or may not make an full art of some person or i may just leave this like that-

Finished a project I've been working on over the last few days!

Modeled and textured in Blender.
