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.

Some test animations

I spent a couple days experimenting with the main loop, none of it really stuck, but I finally found a direction I want to take this game. Anyways the water level is starting to look like an actual level.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Progress. It looks a bit less crappy now.

Godot learning begins.
