Been running some art style experiments. I kinda wanted the sprites to pop a bit more and blend easier, as well as going back to my original vision for the game. So trying 4:3 + CRT shader + some pixelization + sprite outlines. I need to test it on Linux.

Looking to maybe restart development on this game. Maybe, not sure yet. I did make this blocky 3d version of the protagonist! It's not rigged or anything though

Some test animations

FINALLY, I have something worth showing! Here she is in 3D! I even added a Mario 64-like long jump, + an upgraded version of the spin attack that allows you to traverse vertically! Still a bit rough but in time.

No longer forcing 4:3. Also added this jump particle. Also didn't mention this in the last post, but the outline is procedural, so it works on custom characters too.

Non-artist attempts an RPG protagonist. An actual artist could do this faster and better but anyways. Now I gotta redo all of my animations.

Working on music and some background flair for my level in my game. In this level you explore underwater domes and glass pipes on the sea floor, with a neon bioluminescent aesthetic.

Steam Deck! Running on the LCD model but should run on the OLED just fine.

I wasn't really happy with the protagonist design, so I decided to use my character Kitsuneko Aiko as the protagonist. I edited the model for that.
