i also now completely understand how some of those inventory glitches / cheats came to be, haha

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 15h

omg they are!
I still need to refactor the spaghetti i created just because i wanted to have newly picked up items stack, and if that stack is full, stack in the next available slot after, not just *any* free slot.
sounds easy enough, but i *struggled* lol

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 15h

programmer art but in pretty, haha.
currently finishing up the inventory functionality. there's already various options for drag n drop (split in half, move one, move all, etc) buut, click and drop still needs some work.

"in-game view" or something like that haha
currently updating the actual player sprite to fit the style and then i'll have to get back to do some menus

oh wow, thank you, that is some great consolation! :D

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 1d

oh, haha, i can't unsee it now :D
and thank you!

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 1d

still not fully satisfied with the current idle, but i'll fix it in the next iteration, too much other work to do :)

i did not anticipate how much i'd struggle with the idle animation, lol.
this is the third version and it's kinda getting somewhere. i wanted it to be dynamic (not just a simple breathing) but instead it's coming out really wobbly.
gotta smooth things out some more

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 2d

and we have a base!
haven't decided on a staff design, so i'll keep it as is for now.
now onto adding idle, hurt & death animations :)
then i'll need to actually implement the fight mechanics, haha

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 2d

progress on my animation,
currently at 11 frames :)

hi, i'm using aseprite

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 7d

i added a normal map to the stone tiles and i am OBSESSED, it looks so much better.

gotta add normals to aaaall the sprites now, haha

worked some more on the animation and i think it's starting to look like a wobbly walk now. gotta focus on something else for a while though to reset my eyes, lol

#gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 13d

why did i decide to give them 6 legs, ugh.. spent the whole day fighting with the leg animation... i think i'm finally getting somewhere, though

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #wip

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 13d

i really like this concept sketch i made, but i'm questioning my life choices animating those legs...
i hate spiders, so i can't really look up references, haha...

Beckx @beckx-creates.bsky.social · 13d

hi bluesky, long time no post, lol.
i scrapped my platformer idea and been working on something new. it's actually the game i always wanted to make! nothing fancy, just another farming sim with rpg elements, but that's the kind of game i love :D

I would also recommend godot instead of rpgmaker. Might be a little trickier to get into first, but it's completely free (bc open source) and there's tons of great tutorials and resources out there

Every game has to have a ghost house level, right? This one even has a spooky basement.

Wishlist Flora & Fang on Steam this #WishlistWednesday if you like old school single screen arcade adventures like Bubble Bobble and Rod Land.
