Alright. For realsies now! LAST Mina thing! :V I had an idea to put in a roll (Which I discovered the Hammer had), and a new special mechanic not in the game! (I think?) Also gave her a playground to fight in! Enjoy! :D

Alright. Last "Mina the Hollower" thing I'll do for now! Was honestly a lot of fun trying to solve some of the issues of putting it to this 3D-ish look. Also added some bits! Maybe I can work on an actual top-down game like this one day! :V Enjoy!

I think I downloaded the wrong thing, because something's wrong with my copy of "Mina the Hollower"! :V Looking forward to the release on May 28th!

Here's what I ended up making! Thanks to everyone who came to hang out!

I'm live making sprites for followers! Come chill! 🔗⬇️

#Dragimon #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev Here's one of the shops- the Jewelry shop! It'll be a key Building in each town, as it upgrades your Dragimon! I wanted it to look homey- ma and pa style. So added a sitting area with a TV.

#Dragimon #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev Haven't had much to show due to what I've worked on is basically systems for dialogue- so a bunch of non-visual stuff. BUT! Now testing out a map system inspired by LoZ.

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #Dragimon It's behavior was inspired by beavers, but with lava! And also a cat! :V

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #Dragimon First up, home! :V Trying to make all the homes look homely, but also, you'll be able to walk into any door you see- assuming it's not locked.

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #Dragimon First of the Fire types! Fire types will focus on Attack, but won't be much help in Defense, depending on their secondary type.

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #Dragimon One of the starters! :V Unlike the others so far, I've actually gone in and changed its stats (Somewhat) to reflect both being a starter, and specializing in something.

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #Dragimon

#indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #Dragimon Finally finished up the look of the first Outpost, or Checkpoint! Not sure of the name yet. It's the checkpoint between areas where you can Recharge your Toolbelt and also some other stuff, like the computer and the Kiosk for checking in.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #Dragimon The ninja Dragimon! :V

#indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #Dragimon Player used ROCK SMASH! :V No HM slaves here, and no need to have a specific type of Mon in your party! All special restrictions are Toolbelt-based. Basically, once you have the tool, you can do the thing.

#indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #Dragimon One of the closest things that come to wearing a Mon as armor! I've always loved the thought of running around with a mon around you like a big box.

#indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #Dragimon It's our first NPC with text! :V And when the camera rotates or they're talked to, they rotate. Due to the 8-directional sprites though, it'll take a while to make each NPC, especially when I ain't so gewd at 'em. He really likes saying only one thing too.

#pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #Dragimon

#Dragimon #gamedev #pixelart So a quick peek at the underworkings of the combat system. When you use a move, that move gains exp. Once it fills, you can then do something special with it! :V

#indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #Dragimon A little show of the forest area! :V This is where you'll fight your first mon after a little exploring in the town. (After a tutorial fight of course)

#indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #Dragimon Performance: First the village - Fairly minimal. Then forest - Trees are the big tankers. Still good. And then empty room - to show the lower end. Forests wouldn't be this dense though, as trees are removed for actual traversal. Showing Forest Area soon.

#indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #Dragimon The method is called "Spritestacking". It's literally just stacking sprites on top of one another, then offsetting by 1 px upwards. There's some extra math, but it's repeated a lot. Simple and quick, but has its drawbacks. I recommend NOT using it. lol

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #Dragimon Starting combat! :V They'll be able to sense when you are near, but only in direct line of sight does the fight start. Then the shutters slam, and it's on to combat! :V

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #Dragimon

Stunned! Shock! AMAZE! :V Just saw this game and it looks pretty cool! Loved the art style the moment I saw it, but then I saw the combat system! Das what I'm doing too- as well as Mons communicating with humans and Mon villages! :V I am really looking forward to seeing more on this game!

Welcome to the Wonderful Neoran Valley! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiJF...

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #Dragimon Going in and out of homes! No NPCs yet, but it's going to be fun designing the layouts of the insides for some of that sweet environmental storytelling! :V

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #Dragimon Plants are Physical-Focused but lack Energy support, while Fire is Attack-Focused, but lacks defense. With these base stats, she'll definitely be a powerhouse. But very susceptible to Energy Attacks.

#pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #Dragimon Gonna be going through the first gen of Dragimon! :V That's 100 showcases of mons with their stats and descriptions! I'll also be sprinkling in some other info about the game with my usual progress updates! Hope y'all enjoy!

#pixelart #indiedev #Dragimon #gamedev It was bugging me that it wasn't showing both the Current HP and the Max HP, so with some moving around in tight spaces, I decided to stack them. I like it, kind of don't, but I am quickly warming up to the HP stacking. Adds something.
