Refined the boss fight, now with a proper design and cool sound effects. Loving the EVA vibe that came through.

How to build a town. First try vs. second pass. Tons of cozy spots!

Also, each room becomes progressively harder as you go on, with different enemy types. Your first encounters are simple, then you start getting multiple types of enemies at once. All while getting used to controls, since this is a tutorial dungeon.
Finally reached a dungeon map layout I'm happy with. A thread:

Started with a few rooms and settled for a ring-style layout. You keep going forward, and when the dungeon is cleared, you can take a shortcut to backtrack. Algon the way, you can find branching rooms with optional rewards, with higher difficulty.

Been working on the first outdoors level. Nothing beats a cozy prairie!

Finally got a real boss fight going on. The AI is simple but effective for a tutorial boss, and the overall design is a placeholder but in the right direction.

Finally got a menu to upgrade weapons! It's dirty, it looks bad... but it's functional. Heavily inspired by Megaman Legends, too.

Added an elevator transition. Was pretty fun moving the character through code!

Third iteration of this particular level in two months. First make it work, then make it pretty.

One thing I liked about #megamanlegends was how the city felt lived in, given how small the whole game actually is. Also, nailing that ancient + modern building style is proving quite hard.

Learning to texture little by little. Turns out creating expressions is fun!
Shoutout to @Priichu as one of many inspirations for the art style, too.
