This #screenshotsaturday, the lighting system got an upgrade!
More specifically, I got the Crystal Light Engine, and my goodness is this better than whatever I was conjuring up.
When Hemi has full Aura, her natural light will glow rainbow!

It appears that theres a scale problem with the new game!
I wanted to make the entities bigger, but also increasing the hammer by the same scale was problematic.
Unfortunately, im gonna have to tone the attack range down; I hope this doesnt undermine the giant hammer fantasy!

This #screenshotsaturday, new portraits have been made for each character!
I wanted their icons to be more "artsy", to better showcase their personality! How did I do?

Revamped sky background! 2nd image is before (old screenshot bc lazy sorry!)
I recently got a dither brush, and I plan on getting a lot of mileage out of it! It's pretty fun to use as well.

Kirby GCN!
Who knows how good it would've been, but it was looking to be one grand, ambitious game. Too much for its own good most likely...but I would still love to see more of it resurface in some way. I love its well shaped environments and its exaggerated animations (see Chilly)

In today's #screenshotsaturday, here's gameplay of the new enemy Seedrift!
It flies slower vertically, and if it lands an attack, it will be sent flying far away, due to its low poise!

Seedrift is a pretty fast flyer, but it has a hard time adjusting its height. Gameplay will come soon!

Experimenting with a revamped, more manga-inspired VFX. Having the luxury of color of course makes it feel different, but I'm really fond of manga's black & white philosophy for maximum clarity, so it's smth I wanted to try out.
How does it look to you?

This #screenshotsaturday, a new special attack is born!
Hemi's down special is a more defensive skill, but one that can be charged up for respectable all-around damage!
When at full Aura, it also heals per units hit. Thisll be one of the only ways to heal in combat!

Updates have been slow around here, haven't they?
Oops. It's been a bit tough adjusting to work on a new game, compared to the "finishing a game" I was in for a while.
Here's a sketch of Zooka from a recent frustration I felt while working on it. Art is wonderful, isnt it?

Right on! God bless fan emulators for advancing shader tech.
Kirby Super Star is one of my fav games, and I used to think this game looked a bit strange, but once playing it w/ CRT shaders, then on an actual CRT, no it was just designed for CRTs in a way that doesnt translate as well to LCDs.

This #screenshotsaturday, here's one of many new mechanics, Poise!
Everyone will have a unique Poise value w/ it decreasing alongside HP. Knockback will be applied to both entities, influenced by the difference of poise. This makes fights more dynamic!

Merry Christmas! The day where hopes and dreams come to life!
I hope you have a blessed time. I did want to make a new drawing, but alas I felt ill, so here's last(?) year's drawing.

This #screenshotsaturday, shields have been re-added, alongside a new grounded down attack!
Shields were in Astropods: Starside Glaze for a bit, but were removed to incentivize hyper offense. Now, I'm going lean towards balance, w/ legitimate defensive options.

1st time drawing someone looking upwards. Hemi here looks quite amusing.
This made for a fun part of an attack animation, but alas her arms would cover her face, so here is the invisible arm version.
