Part of the reason for the recent lull in media is that we have been busy working on boss prototyping, and a lot of this produces process material that isn't so great for presenting (you get to fight a box with smaller boxes that shoots boxes out of its box until you hit it in the box), but a few of the behavior pages are sort of neat. This is an example behavior concept of a miniboss which is loosely designed around becoming easier as several items are obtained, but which can be beaten with only the sword:

A small collection of art concepts of some of our Boss and Miniboss ideas. Keep in mind that we are still prototyping the boss fights, so they are highly subject to change and revision.

Give us your criticism of our Character Portraits!Ok guys, did some rough work on character portraits for a handful of our major characters; these are a bit rough at the moment, and will get another, cleaner pass soon, but the convey enough infromation to share and get feedback on! These will soon be used as precursors for our NPC dialogue portraits in pixel-art form. We provided some background and features for each of these folks as well, to give you an idea of what our reasoning behind the appearances was. All of our game characters have pretty involved backstories; these stories may or may not be fully explored over the course of the game's dialogue and events, but we believe that in order to write engaging dialogue, it helps to know exactly who the speakers are- what their background is, what their motivations might be, how they approach life, etc.

This game gives me good vibes. I like the art style and it reminds me of those good old times. Like you are actually out on an adventure keep it up!

I think the portrait should be smaller, as it is it dominates the screen.

Would you all say you like this smaller portrait, vs the larger one I just showed earlier?

The female portraits look good, although Heroine and Leslie having an identical face is a bit distracting. Wade and Izzy could do with some work, as they don't really have the same level of polish that the females do. Wade's face looks a little odd, almost like it's someone wearing a mask, and his hat doesn't really sit on his head properly. Izzy's body appears to be turned in the opposite direction to his head, which could possibly be fixed by simply flipping his body horizontally. There's also a strange disconnect between his head and neck, which almost looks like his head has been pasted onto a portrait of someone facing directly at the viewer. Both Wade and Izzy's facial flesh tones also don't match their necks, reinforcing the impression of their faces not having been drawn together with their bodies.
I hope you don't take any offense at this honest criticism, as I absolutely love the gorgeous pixel art and the overall visual style that you've got going on.

No offense at all! You're right in that with these portraits, the faces were done earlier, and then I looked at different references for the torso's. Now that I look, most of the torsos do tilt the same way as the face, but with Izzy it looks more like he is taking a static pose and tilting his head. I could add some more differentiation between Leslie and the Heroine. I copy-pasted a few elements there hehe.
