Blooming Darkness [DEMO]
5 years ago

I started implementing the final weapon into the game: the shield! Shielding and parrying are finished and the shield throw is being worked on. Also, the first boss isn't done yet and was just used here for testing.

Mechanic Details

Shielding absorbs all damage and depletes energy by 1/2 the damage amount. Parrying depletes less energy and deals back half of the damage to the attacker.

Once you're out of energy, shielding absorbs 1/4 damage, while parrying absorbs 1/2 damage and will no longer reflect damage.

I hope the parry effect feels satisfying as it's a 6 frame window (subject to change).

Blooming Darkness is now public! No demo just yet, but I'll keep you updated. https://gamejolt.com/games/blooming_darkness/398415

I updated the banner for my game! It's based off one of the first original pixel art pieces I ever drew (2nd picture).

Art isn't an area I'm strong in, so I'm pretty happy with this! Well, for now at least.

I made a game in 12 hours! Am I a real game developer now?

I'll continue to improve it, and hopefully release it here soon. Maybe I'll make it into a full mobile game in the future.

I added a proper intro for a boss I showed off a while back! I've sent out the demo to a few people to playtest it

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

This ability won't be in the demo, but I wanted to show it off anyway. Also, this was totally done first try and was definitely not spliced!

I added a Bestiary to Blooming Darkness! I this should help flush out the world a bit, and perhaps even hint at some lore

#Metroidvania #PixelArt

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

The Blooming Darkness is getting closer and closer to a real demo! Check out the page for more details.

EDIT: There was supposed to be an update on the situation, but I forgot to hit publish :/
