Here's another monthly update for Bloodlust: Santa Monica 2!
These past few weeks I've been working on the intro cutscene. It's been pretty fun to explore the different options in Godot for making cutscenes. I've settled in a hybrid approach using animations and Ink story to convey both dialogues and choices. Here's a small preview of how it's all coming along. There're some impressive pixel particles at work! Also, I've been adding more quests, items, fixing bugs and making the player character walk more or less as expected.

I like this intro and the script also makes me more curious about the game lore

Thanks! I'll try not to spoil too much in the following GIFs

I would definitely watch this if you turn it into a movie in this style.

Good job on your Pixel art, it is glorious!

Been some time since last update, I hope you are allright

I haven't updated the devlog for a long time. These last few months I've been working on various ways to complete, restart or somehow save the game until I finally realized that it's been over a year and the game still doesn't work. I've really enjoyed learning Godot, making the pixelart for the levels, characters and so on but the time has come to kill the project and move on to other smaller games.

To end on a high note, I have uploaded to itch.io an asset pack with the tileset containing (almost) all the pixelart for the game. So if you want to make an RPG with topdown perspective set in a dark modern city, you already have a lot of assets ready. Here's the link to the tileset:

Thanks for following the development of Bloodlust 2. It has been quite an adventure!

I am so sad to hear this.

I hope your next project will have a better outcome

Sorry to hear that.
Good luck with any future projects of yours.
Thanks in any case for releasing the graphics assets.

Oh no, that really sucks! I hope you can salvage some of your work and I am looking forward to hear about your next project. Keep the spirits high!

That's some sad news, but it's probably better to put your energy into smaller projects that actually get finished instead of using up all of it on a big project and probably killing your motivation for the whole gamedev thing on the way.
I'm only a hobby gamedev, but I can totally understand the situation.

I still chek this from time to time and hope to see some news
