The art is excellent. I'm very curious about what program you're using to make the lines, because they're so clean and appropriately-weighted.
I use Paint Tool Sai to draw, and Spine to animate.  |

Looks like you've got some steady progress. Good to see, keep it up!

I'm not a big fan of puppet animation usually, but I must say the original and raw visual style you're going for makes me forget the puppetry  It's a really deep mood you've got there. |

@TopherPirkl: Thanks! There's a lot to do.  @Igor Sandman: I can understand not favoring the bone-based animation for 2D, but when beginning this project, I decided that if I wanted the number of unique enemies, armor sets and player animations, I couldn't do it hand drawn (and expect to finish it this decade). I'm happy to hear that the art style alleviates that a bit. Thanks! Here's a little sneak peak of what I'm working on at the moment. :>  Rigging up a new armor set. :D |

I use Paint Tool Sai to draw, and Spine to animate. I had a hunch. Paint Tool Sai is great for art that really cares about line-weight. As for Spine, I'll have to look into it. That's a program I've never heard of until now. Thanks for letting me know~ |

I LOVE your art style. Your concepts, your ingame art, all looks great. I can't play the game though. Java doesn't like me and I don't like it. Every time I try to run something in java ends in headaches, so I gave up on it  |

Nevermind. It worked Maybe I didn't play enough to get a good feel on the gameplay but it felt a bit confusing. It's hard to tell it the enemy can reach me from where he stands, for example. And even after a few attempts I still don't know how to use my shield. |

@inkwellmachine: It took a little getting used to, but Spine is a really awesome program. I had done zero animating before this project, and now it's super easy to just rig up a skeleton's skeleton and start working. You're very welcome! @diegzumillo: The amount of work we've done in just the few weeks after that demo makes it look very, very outdated. I'm almost a little embarrassed to keep it up on the site. The shield works like a parry, the first handful of frames of the defend animation will parry the enemy attack, and you get bonus damage. |

 Whipped up a few placeholder weapon icons to start working on the UI, not sure if I'll keep this sort of look. |

Working on one of the safe areas that will hold a cairn, a decrepit church. Here is a shot from when I started, and then finished.  |

 Took a little time to sketch out where the current level I'm working on is going. Only the top left portion is finished so far. |

This art style looks cool, I also do some relief printing with lino so it's interesting to see that kind of aesthetic being used in a game. Though I think maybe the readability of the gifs isn't great, there should be something to help distinguish things from each other maybe?? I'm just basing this off the gifs I saw so maybe it looks fine when being played  |

I'm just basing this off the gifs I saw so maybe it looks fine when being played Thanks a lot! I loved doing relief prints in college, the only shame of that was that I discovered it in my third to last semester. If I had known, I might've taken it as my minor. Unfortunately the .gifs are pretty bad, I condense them quite a bit to get them under the 3MB limit for posting on twitter. The .webms that I post should give you a better idea. Readability will be a constant concern going through the development process, hopefully we can make it work out. |

Could you make the GIFs smaller? On mobile, this thread crashes my browser

Things are progressing really well with the first level! Here's a little peek at what's cooking.  |
