Previously I missed novels by Ayn Rand in described inspirations, today I seen it and became curious, how those will affect the game?
Thanks for the interest! It is mainly about the story lines within the game, one of the central theme is the idea of individualism vs. collectivism. A good part of the story is about exceptional individuals and how they struggle when their ideas conflicted with the views of the mass, even when they intended to represent their interests. It's hard to show it without spoiling the story... And it doesn't seem to attract any interest so I am considering removing it from my game description, but I am glad it made you curious! I would be incredibly excited to play a game influenced by Ayn Rand and objectivist philosophy and I think other people would like it as well. The first BioShock did it and the story was a huge success. Thanks for the good words man! I am probably gonna keep it but make it subtle.

11/02 Update: Character redesign Redesigning characters... and I suck at this, here's a redesign of the main character: Not sure what I think about the color and design, but I will give it time and come back to it.

Digging the Golden Axe vibe from the game, both in gameplay and art style.
As for the redesign of the main character, I like the cloak / hood, especially since it's short. Design looks good, but perhaps proportions are a little off? Torso to leg distribution seems a little off, and perhaps too many different colors present in his palette. But these are just nitpicks I think, overall he's shaping up well.
Keep it up!

Thank you so much for the good words! Man I kept hearing about Golden Axe... I guess it's time for me to give it a play haha. And yeah I totally agree on the proportion issue, will give it a fix!

Yeah totally, you should try it out. It's a little more of a beat 'em up than your game is I think. But it'll be helpful at least from an aesthetic point of view? Tons of old school fun though. Anyhow, your sprites have a good attention for detail and a nice range of colors. Definitely looking forward to seeing how you tackle spells / magic being cast in this game!

I see, from the look of it it is pretty old school haha. Yep spells and magics i am planning on using a system smiliar to castlevania aria of sorrow where you discover spell from enemy... so it should be interesting figuring out the mechanics behind it lol

Berserk was one of my all time favorite anime/mangas - definitely love the look of the ultimate 2Her - very Guts-esque.
Sending you a PM!

11/21 Update: Offense Item - Straight Line Throwing Items It's been a while, today the update is about the straight line throwing items (throwing knives, darts, throwing stars, etc.). With obviously placeholder art... I will change the speed to give it some acceleration and friction as well.. now it just seems bland, I want it to be fast and impactful.

I'm a bit late to the party but this looks REALLY fun. Dark souls ARPG beat 'em up is already a great concept, but the art/gameplay principles so far are perfect. Absolutely excited to play this.
