I included a flipped alt of the piece, for those who like to have Hornet on top. And that's about it.

Figured since I've been playing both games back to back with Hollow Knight already beaten recently, I'd finish coloring this piece featuring both the Knight and Hornet together in a sort of mirrored portrait. Love the contrast between the two.

Another palette cleanser for me, after a month of working on a prototype. Figured I'd showcase more of Abby's metal arm power, saving a friend of hers from a hard cave-in.

Yes, she is holding a chunk of the mountain up. How can se even lift that so easily without getting crushed?

So it is finally out and finished, Abby is now crashing into Castle Crashers.

While she may not have access to the powers of her prosthetic, she does have skills. That should be enough, yeh?

So update on Abby's mod, I have finished all the parts for Abby's in-game sprite, and she is pretty much playable right now.

I still have yet to make the HUD and Character Select portraits though, so is not out yet.

So I've heard from a friend that Castle Crashers got a DLC that lets you create your own character into the game...

And so I didn't want to miss out, so I'm doing Abby in the game. This is a WIP tho, she's not yet ready.

I'm not making a game to appeal to a wide audience, or for as many possible people to play it.

I'm making a game for a handful of people to love it to pieces.

I'd rather make something that one person loves with all their heart than something a thousand people think is okay.

Update (July 7, 2025)

We want to address recent reports regarding the status of Romero Games. These reports have contained inaccuracies, and we feel it's important to set the record straight.
• The funding for our project was pulled, and our game was canceled.
• Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the publisher's identity, though some may infer it from public information.
• As a result, we now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio.
• Romero Games is not closed, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that it does not come to that. Any suggestion otherwise is factually incorrect. Indeed, we were in the studio today to discuss next steps with the team.
• We've been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we're currently evaluating those opportunities.
We appreciate the outpouring of support and will share further updates as we are able.

Figured I'd do another one, this time using Doomguy's look from DOOM II's cover art, blasting a Cacodemon's innards with his plasma rifle.

Poor meatball's not doing so good.

This time, I really wanted to experiment with the flipnote brushes while coloring this one. Given the uniqueness of Abby, I figured I can go a bit nuts with the colors if her realm.

But I am happy with the result regardless.

Abby gives one last glace at the setting sun, as she walks away from the beachside, nibbling on an ice-pop.

Phew... finished modeling this very complex model for ABYSS X ZERO.

It took me a few days, but at least I'm past the toughest part... right? ... right????

Quick art tip: If your glowy lights look flat/boring (they read more like fog than light), it might be because you're fading from 100% to 0%.

Instead, try using an off color, and boost it to, say, 150%. This gives the same peak color, but fades through a different tone.

#gamedev #indiedev

Top three panels show the "flat and boring" versions of glowy lights. Their colors are cyan, yellow, and white. As they fade, they remain cyan, yellow, and white.

Bottom three panels show the "interesting and bright" alternatives. The cyan light fades into blue. The yellow light fades into orange. The white light fades into a slightly yellow off-white.

Honestly, I wanna bring these two back. Been thinking about the previous game I was working on before Cheddarhead, which involved the two characters below (Wizmorf and Majyan) and the temptation to start that project again has been gnawing at me.

I might do a prototype... maybe.

I wasn't sure if this little touch would be worth it, but it looks RAD. The Demon Buster now has smoke shoot out from the exhaust after going into POWER mode! 💨

I greatly underestimated how tricky this would end up being, so big thank you to @sgt-shivers.bsky.social for the animation guidance!
