i really need dedicated hosting

anyway, here's something in the works. namedly this thing

thanks!

you probably missed it because of the woeful text dump in the first post, but his name is

ishmael (that's the dude up there, all wigglin/jigglin)

yeah. Ishmael, like the guy from moby dick.

anyway have a GIF of something actually moving around in a workable/playable environment!

aaaaand it looks like i've found a programmer already, which i honestly wasn't expecting at this point

thank'm, was like an hour of work all told. not really a super fancy thing but i enjoyed it since i've been unable to do stuff with my tablet for a while

I'd make it a -littttttle- quicker but that's me. i really liked the instant camera but i do think that a litttttttttle easing is best. but just a tiny amount.

aw dang those are cute!

i might make the lower shadow on gorgeus one pixel lower across the board in both counts, but that's ME

blhuh

i feel like myself and everyone is playing the same thing right now: the smash bros 4 demo on 3DS

at least that's what it seems like from my twitter feed

thank'm! there'll be plenty more of his little clean sprites as i build out his abilities/animations

right now there isn't that much more than you've seen; i've got a change-direction thing and a double-jump in the works (and that one is hella cute and i'll post 'em when i get 'em together)

stuff for it's snowing hard and beautiful

yeah this is rad this looks rad i'm 100% lovin' it

latest update

hopefully out in 2020.

i honestly do not think the world ends with you counts as new at this point

but it is very good, yes

[serious.]

yo if you want a fix/cleanup, then i offer my nintendo treehouse method version that completely demolishes it, inspired by many a 90s game ad:

What if bottomless pits actually went somewhere?

Everyone has that one game they can't beat. You're gonna give up eventually. But  in the space between Game Over and New Game there exists a limbo where dead characters wait for their players to come back and take another crack at it. Most have been waiting for a long, long time.

This is a story about a guy who refused to accept Game Over. This is a story about a guy who didn't like to wait.

Break the rules; Dave's coming back.

For serious.

in other news this looks rad you all better finish this

i'm honestly serious when i say that there can not be enough good metroidvanias. this looks like one of the good ones; you've drawn up a world of something that feels a little metroid fusiony and is aesthetically similar to ghost in the shell, and i like that. i will be playing it.

I think I will! I'd recommend maybe hiring an artist/assistant (for aforementioned reasons) if you can maybe afford it (that or spending a lot more time with the art yourself and improving) but other than that i'm into this.

[why does the web trash thing work so well here]

ugh i love this more than i should ugh i shouldn't love it why does the web trash thing work so well here

i think the art is really ugly (like CRAZY ugly and unappealing) and i don't like that but this trailer is edited really well (like. insanely well. good use of music 100%) and you've got a charming sense of humor that shines through. so there you go.

niceeeee

you're welcome
