@Green Gospod yes I follow sprite lamp since it's development phase and it look really nice. I think making heightmap for all of mi sprites/tiles will be too much work for now, maybe later?
I am currently refactoring the game engine to be able to make some slow motion/bullet time effect, I think next week will be dedicated to this task. I hope to be able to show something soon.

Refactoring in progress, it goes faster than I thought, 50 classes left to go and I will be able to start working on the slow motion feature

@crusty you mean animated gif of the water effet? I will try to do this this week end, but first I need to complete the time refactoring, some part of the code are buggy wince I began this big refactoring. Hopefully I use git to deal with this kind of features

I just finish the time refactoring the engine is now able to deal with acceleration or slow motion (bullet time gamming phase are now possible). I have tuned a little bit the fighting system adding some more feedback. First Tikotep slide backward while hurt: Then the enemies slide backward while hurt by Tikotep And finaly a little bullet time when an enemy die The feeling is really better with this new features, but I think it can be more tweaked (screen and controllers rambling, sound and zoom effects ...)

Spending all the afternoon designing a level. It's a hard work. Does someone knows some good resources to start learning 2D level design? It would be very helpfull.

gorgeous stuff. I don't see a problem with the "HD" lightning, i never saw a point of restricting yourself completly to an oldschool style, when there is no need too. I LOVE how the forest looks. It looks like you are in a very deep forest, where vegetation is everywhere, but it's still very readable in terms of where the platforms are. The reflectation on the water is a nice effect too. The snow is fine, moving objects always make the scenery look more alive..the rain is a little too much i think. The color combinations are quite nice everywhere too. Will follow

The pixel art looks amazing! Do you have a targeted release date and if so what platforms?

The snowy environment looks good, but the other 2 really stand out as the winners to me. Everything about them looks very alive! I wonder how it would look if the "glow" around the torches (in mystic world) followed the dance of the flame, moving off center in a rhythm with the flame's animation. Maybe it would just look distracting, but I'll throw it out there.

So I whipped up a rough little demo track. It's a mixture of organic and chiptune sounds. Peyote Dance ( track 8 ) - https://leoj.bandcamp.com/album/directors-dreamsI generally think it's better to not limit yourself to the sound pallet of 8 bit / chiptune etc. I prefer to leave the possibilities wide open and then tie it in with the old school theme by mixing in a little synth and 8-bit sounds. Feel free to use it, just send me a PM. BTW The waterfalls look fantastic!

@lobstersteve thank you for the comment, I have the same feeling about retro pixel mixed with HD effect. Ok also with the rain, I may try with little dash instead of dot.
@snowstorm currently I don't have release date, I haven't so much free time to work on the game, but I will do what I can to achieve the project. The game will be available on PC/Linux/Mac/Windows at first as it is writen in Java. I hope to make it available on steam (greenlight maybe?). If I can make it available on consoles, it would be very cool.
@psyguy I may try to make the light effect moving with the flame, sounds like a nice idea.
@Leo J, thank you very much for the music, it feel like a village/camp scene, it help me to see how to mix american indian style with modern sounds Be sure I'll PM you if I decide to use it! I also love the ost of shovel knight and FEZ.
I think the waterfall needs a little more light reflection, currently it only distort the background using a heightmap, perhaps using the heightmap to make a little light reflection can be a good idea.

@MereMonkey thank you for the support! I have just tried to make a little concept level base on a map from Ducktales, you may feel something familiar

Today I worked on the screen transition system. The idea is to pause the game as the camera slide smoothly from one room to another. here is the result: next time I need to rework the light system to calculate the light by rooms and not on the entire map.

Not much time this week with my birthday to work on Tikotep. Here is just a little scene of Tikotep and Grandpa (the elder of the tribe and teacher of Tikotep) having some rest on a tipee before continuing their journey.

Happy Birthday!
Also, for level design I'd recommend having a look at pixel prospector there's some good stuff on there. Once you've got the basics, I can only suggest lots and lots and lots and lots of playtesting and revising!

Thank you for the link and for the Happy Birthday. Pixel prospector is full of super interesting articles, a lot of reading hours in perspective I hope I'll be able to produce a good little level soon.
Currently I need to rework the light engine to optimise the rendering process (I notice some slow down on huge map).
