Looks really cool. I think something else that might add a little bit would be to add an additive blend to some of the lighting - that way, it's not just going from black to illuminated (normal, opaque color), but goes a little bit 'higher'. I don't know - it might not add anything, but I think it'd be cool.

Also, the lighting effect on that chest is awesome-looking!

What do you mean about the additive blending exactly? You mean make the light source have more of a 'glow', like a bigger blur effect round them - or just brighter lighting on stuff in general? or less of a drop between the colour bands around light sources, so it blends more?

Sorry I just didn't quite catch what you meant there

All the lights are using additive blending - the last picture I'm purposefully making the surrounding area darker so the focus is purely on the player + green beam (if that is connected to what you're saying?)

Actually reading it again I think I get what you mean, like a bigger glow effect around lights, just additively blending a big circle with faded edges over the lights?

A slight one, yeah, I think it would help.

[DustyDrake]

...I really want to know what's in that chest now...

[iMoose]

Woooaaaah, this looks absolutely fantastic  the lighting looks really great, and the walking on shadows... man. Keep up the awesome work! I'm definitely watching this one.

[tchassin]

This game really have a huge potential, and from what I've seen so far, it's gonna kick ass.

Thanks fellas

I'm moving to a new apartment tomorrow, minus internet so not sure if I'm gonna make it for screenshot saturday this week When I get settled in, it might actually help me to just work on it without internet for a while.

Not got much screenshot worthy at the moment anyway, been doing some behind the scenes work and work on the editor this week. Also tried a fucking ton of character alterations and still ended up not liking many/any of them, not much different except a subtle bit of colour change on it but still, WIP.

Had some brainwaves regarding design ideas and areas, should be fun to make.

Not had chance to do much work on this lately whilst moving flats and having to do a load of real life stuff, and also - Spelunky. But I have managed to wrangle this together:



Walk cycle:


Moved away from the Gomez resemblance, and I quite like this little char - any critiques comments and suggestions welcome as always. The outline around the top of his head is a bit less pronounced in game with the normal mapping on.

[DustyDrake]

I'm gonna miss Gomez's brother, but sentimental attachment aside it looks great.

[orihaus]

I know your moving away from the Gomez resemblance, but he could still do with a hat!  

[happymonster]

I like the new hero sprite, but perhaps the black eyes could be a dark grey or drawn as actual holes (i.e. a highlight on one edge of the eyes).

Are you going to add more colours to the tiles and level graphics, it does seem very grey right now.

Yes and no. The game is all about colour, so it will have colour - but not in an entirely conventional way.

[Franklins Ghost]

That looks great, liked the old guy but new guy is definitely better in my opinion.

[Magnesium Ninja]

Oh my god yes I love this new character so much :3

Especially the run cycle good god that's so fantastic

[DustyDrake]

I have a question:
Will he always be so obviously a lightbulb?
or when he gets the light powers, will his face turn transparent until he looks like that?
