The members of the team would like to give a huge thanks to everyone who has been supporting us while working on the alphas and reaching an actually playable game demo. Without you guys we wouldn't have as much fun making this game. Hopefully by the end of the month the game will feel like something playable and be able to give you guys three of four hours of game play.
Update on art. This week the tile artist is focusing on the throne for the save rooms, waterfalls, water vents, statues, pillars, broken castle walls for more room varieties, and a few other things.
The character/spell artist is finishing up bats, knight demon, and the zombie. After he finishes those he will make a couple spells for the player to mes with. Do note we are coding in a hot wheel for easily changing items, using potions, and changing spells in mid combat without opening a menu. This way it doesn't break from the pace of combat.
I have been blocking out the rooms that the new art will be used in preparation of the incoming art.
After the artist finish the current tasks our tile artist will work on three separate things. One is the underwater tile art, other is a interior, and exterior clock tower. He is also making the chests, breakable stuff, and a few things that will be a surprise.
Our other artist will be working on menu art. yes finally good looking menus instead of quickly thrown together menus. This is one things I been wanting the most. After they got menus down we will have them make the first couple NPCs so you guys can do quests and buy stuff from a shop.
First set of things will go live this Friday or weekend. It depends on if we need to do some polishing on some stuff.
Thank you guys for being patient on the polishing touches for the game. Soon we will have you guys actual story line for you guys to enjoy. So, have a wonderful day everyone.
Time to make an update post talking about this weeks coming art and a thank you post for everyone who has been supporting us. Read the article from this post for full info.
Next up
Mini Dev Blog 6 - Ambience VFX/SFX and Settings Menu Update. I started to add some VFX and some ambience SFX for parts of the game. The main thing left before finishing alpha one is the settings menu for controls, graphics, and audio.
Added a small box with the speakers name in it, so players can see who is speaking. Going to start showing off some smaller work in progress stuff starting now up to the first alpha. Each post will be focusing on one change for the first alpha.
Wanted to share some of the rooms I am working on for the first Alpha and show I have the start of a cutscene tool I made for allowing customizable mini events and cutscenes to be quickly created. #immortal_chronicles #metroidvania #devlog #pixelart
We got our new throne for the save rooms in the works. Hope you guys enjoy sitting on your new demonic throne every time you need to save. We are making animations for the character sitting on the throne soon. Hope you guys enjoy the upcoming update.
Got volumetric lighting working with my custom shaders. Will need to tweak some settings and working on the castle environment lighting now. Pictures are with and without the lighting enabled for the player and throne.
Here are some more NPC art. Next week we will have the character art for the town people started. One of these animations is just for small detail when entering the library randomly. Would be boring if every character only had one type of idle animation.
Got some of our favorite grim reaper's animations in with the first set of conversations with him. Will be in the next game build. Video showing off his little idle animation.

Second update to the early WIP Menu UI. We might change the bottom right info box because the right side is starting to get a little cluttered. Hope you guys enjoy it so far. https://gamejolt.com/games/immortalchronicles/445565
While working on the first full Alpha build, I decided to start adding a little bit of NPC dialogue and other stuff to start making the game feel somewhat alive during the early alpha stages.
For today's new art we got ourselves the low level boss door. It will end up animated with green fire in the eyes.
