GUIDANCE

The new demo for GUIDANCE is finally here!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3168880/GUIDANCE/

This is a massive gameplay and graphics update, with a completely new progression system, reimagined bossfights, and plenty of tweaks!

#GUIDANCE is an original, meta, story-driven RPG


Since I'm replacing the old pinned post, I figured I may as well reference it. I wonder how many people will catch that

Well, I just made it infinitely less fun by pointing it out. Oh well. 🙄

A description of what the new demo has to offer (both old and new) can be found on both the Game Jolt and Steam pages!

But, I suppose I can specify pretty much everything that's been changed since the old version.

  • All new and remade from the ground up skills!

  • All new Angel Meter system!

  • A unique and all new progression system with "Soul Shards" and "Pendants"

  • Each character now has a unique ability, rather than just "defending" for a turn.

  • New enemies!

  • All new enemy portraits and battle backgrounds

  • Completely reimagined boss fights!

  • New and additional level environments

  • Brand new interactions with Charlie, and a small sidequest!

  • Lots of improved and updated tilesets

  • New graphics relating to the Angels appearance in several locations, including a new title-card

  • Various tweaks to cutscenes to make the dialogue flow better, and be more clear to read

  • And probably a fair share of other stuff, including anything that needed to be changed to account for the other changes.

Overall, this new demo is just way more polished, and I'm quite happy with it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and sincerely hope you enjoy it! ^.^

Working on remaking the sprite for this absolute abomination of an enemy.

Think I might've posted about these guys before. If not well-

Instead of doing what I planned to do (YET!! I'M STILL GONNA OK!!) I updated the tileset for the Studio (Ch2 location) a bit

I think the floor and wall distinction is MUCH clearer now and just feels "right", even if the old floor tiles were very pretty.

As happy as I am with this sprite, it's waaay too big for a regular enemy. Plus, I plan to have another iteration of the Bugsly species later on. I'll have to make a smaller version of this.

Takes up the whole damn screen lol, and it's not a boss

Last week at LVL UP EXPO, we celebrated great games made by Jolters including Baldi's Basics Plus by @BasicallyGames !

Buy it on Game Jolt: https://gamejolt.com/games/baldis-basics-plus/481026

Thanks to Razer for providing the laptops and peripherals!

The new GUIDANCE DEMO has been out since the 1st of October! Have you had the chance to play it? And if so, what do you think?

Any and all feedback/questions are encouraged/welcome!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

What do you think the furniture in the corner is?

This is still 100% the kinda thing I struggle to depict in this style but I feel like you can actually tell what it's supposed to be XD

Anyways, WIP of new art for my TTRPG character. Second image is her current art, and third is one of my inspirations for what I went with here (being Rannii from Elden Ring, namely her ghostly other face)

Needless to say Tay's been through a lot.

@hexh_ is a Jolter to Watch and a pixel/digital artist who mostly draws dreamy landscapes! Follow @hexh_ before the quest ends on May 6 and you'll get Coins!

I haven't posted much art in a while. So here, have a weird creature I designed for a table top rpg project I'm toying with.
