Girthbound - Diamond Dog

Here's a sneak peek at a boss I worked on for Girthbound, the Carbon/Diamond Dog. I'll be showing off roughs for the Diamond Dog in particular, since it was quite the process to realise.

Girthbound - Rose spritesheet

This sprite was my first try at making assets for Girthbound to see if I could keep faithful to the style. Since then, the boundaries of sprites have been expanded, so I'll be taking a second crack at this sprite in the future. For now, you can enjoy faithfully low res enormous vixens.

Girthbound Sprites (Batch 2)

For this batch I'm gonna show a few enemies up to Threed not included with the previous pack along with some concept roughs for earlier monsters. Enjoy!

Maze Muncher (Update #4: Menus and More)

This short clip shows some light menu work along with scene transitions and gameplay.

The purple hue on the character is to signify being a new size level without having a whole new sprite for it for testing purposes. Projectiles and collisions are also working, along with enemy states of seeking and stun. The bar on the bottom signifies a "stamina" meter that slowly drains as the player ...

July Plans - Girthbound and Beyond

Hello everyone, and hope you have a happy 4th! This month I'll be focusing on game/pixel art, so hope you look forward to that! I want to be warmed up for the upcoming Gain Jam which I believe will be coming up in August or September.

In particular, I'll be focusing my time on Girthbound and finishing up assets for that project. I've just got a few more bosses to do and will be helping wi...

MAZE MUNCHER (Update #3: Sight Tracking)

I may be working on sketchies, but game dev still goes on! Today I'd like to share some of the progress made with visual tracking of enemies.

As you see here, a line is traced from the player to the enemy. The blue indicates a solid path traced, which means the enemy can see you within their cone of vision, represented by the triange within the white circle. When the Player is behind a wa...

KeaPark

Got to do a trade with Asaneman and was tasked with drawing Kea enjoying herself at a waterpark, as all ambitious preds do. Happy Memorial Day weekend everybody!

MAZE MUNCHER (Update #2: Basic Implementation)

Hi all, hope you're hungry for another update! Here I have some footage of some baseline mechanics and systems going on.

First off is some character movement! Very important. RIght now it's 8 directional freeform but will be changed to 4 way movement once we get into level design. 

You might also notice some white circles around the front of the player. Those sensors help detec...

MAZE MUNCHER (Update #1: Design Doc)

And so starts the first part of our little Game Project. I'll be giving a bit more in-depth workings into how a game gets made! Our first update deals with the concept for a new Maze Muncher game. Think Pac Man, but fatter.

Originally I was going to do an entirely different game, but ended up in a team with Min/Skyox on a project with a scale very similar to what I had planned, so decided...

Game Dev: Design Docs

Hi all, sorry for the delay but I thought I'd give an update on my next small practice project. This time I wanted to go a bit more step by step than just posting a progress update, and give some behind the scenes looks on how I approach game dev. And with most projects, they all start with a Design Document.

So I have included an example outline I like to use when developing ideas. The f...

Happy Mother's day everybody, here's a goat for your troubles. Also have an alternate version and the CSP file. Enjoy!

May Plans - BIG GAMIN' and Poll!

Hi all! I'm still finishing up the last bit of sketchie commissions, which should be done by this week. In the meantime, I thought I'd give an update for this month and future plans.

For this month, I plan to go back to game/spritework with another small project. I want to do more practice for the upcoming Gain Jam that will be starting sometime in July/August, and in particular I'd like ...

Here's some assets from the game I helped make! Along with some commentary on design decisions and such.

#NoticeMe Game Jam - LAB RAT (Published!)

And here's our completed submission for the #NoticeMe Game Jam! This is probably the most "feature complete" game I've worked on in a while, and I hope everyone enjoys a little point and shooty watergun action.

You can play it on Opera Browsers here https://gxc.gg/games/gem5nw/LAB-RAT/

Or extract it directl...

#NoticeMe Game Jam (Update #2)

Hi all, another week means another round of footage and some asset sharing now that things are getting more finalized. Here's a little preview of multiple weapons and some enemy AI at work.

#NoticeMe Game Jam (Update #1)

Here's some video footage of progress made over the weekend, with a basic character implemented, 360 movement and shooting, with different classes of weapons with their own damage pools and ammo counts, represented by a UI element. The practice jam from last month sure paid off, I'll say.

#NoticeMe Game Jam

Initially I was going to focus on art for this month, but I recently found out about this gamejam hosted by Opera/GameMaker and will be giving it a shot!

https://gxc.gg/game-jam/

I will be posting updates on progress here on Patreon until the due date of March 18th, including sprites, animations, concept art, and other...

Game Jam - Gauntlet Alpha!

Well, it's the end of the month, so my dev time is over. Here's what I have so far, with five playable stages and dev room, room transitions, a playable character with modular ranged and melee attack, and enemies with timed spawns! Didn't get time to add anything funny, but the groundwork is there for future development. Also, I turned off damage, as it needed to be reworked.

I...

Gauntlet (MiniUpdate)

The end of the month is around the corner, so I figure I'll save the update notes for then. In the meantime, have some footage that is totally not a current bug with hit detection.

Game Jam - Gauntlet Preview #1

Hello all!  Here is my weekly progress report for my Game Jam. 

My focus has been getting the basic framework of a Gauntlet-style game, which includes basic but necessary things like 8 way movement, tile collision, aiming and shooting, basic hit detection, camera tracking, and spawners. This gif was also created with built-in GameMaker Studio functions recently added.
