At this game's core it is a pure 2D action side-scroller with two distinct play styles, dropped "platformer" because it became less than that honestly.
Cyanser's implementation is finished!
Hopefully I can show off some things I have been working on by Saturday.

Me: "Yes."
(I have been implementing and testing out the wall run mechanic including updating the dash jump animation.)
P.S. GO PLAY NINJA GAIDEN 4!

One of the conceptual bosses in Phase Nexus, Ragnorak, has undergone an overall redesign!
This feral mechanical beast blends strength and speed to full savagery!
Ninja Gaiden 4 has truly gave me a second wind with my creativity.

*WIP video game boss design as I vibe to Kagachi's theme song from Ninja Gaiden 4 while pixel arting.
This is a rework of an old design I had in the vault for some time now.
(No seriously NG4 OST Izuna Drops!!!!!!)

Action Zone WIP update for Phase Nexus as I am continuing to mold more of this level!
I have also been working on projectiles for Raviel, when it comes to both her and Cyanser, I want the gameplay to be very creative!

Aside from more development in Godot and refining animations for Raviel, I have also been busy pixel arting honestly one of my action stages conjured up.
Had nice break during SAGE playing Silent Hill f but back to the grind!

SAGE 2025 has passed with a couple of views and downloads.
I have been taking a break playing some Silent Hill f since then (I love it so far).
Now I am back to it with Raviel's now-animated, flowing hair.

I am grateful for my stress test demo being submitted.
There was more that I wanted to do but unfortunately the woes of a full-time job got in the way so I had no choice but to scale down.

Working on improving the HUD for Phase Nexus, fortunately I have a game state script that'll tell the difference which player character is current.
SAGE 2025 is next week so I am just taking the time to spiffy some things up.

Although the demo will be short of course, it showcases the basics of Cyanser's gameplay and abilities.
Also since there are Viewtiful Joe elements, make good use of the slow motion mechanic.

I may or may not attempt to submit something for SAGE 2025 depending on hopefully finishing an action demo level.
Now since I am one person I will try to keep the scope realistic.

I have also created an object called Beacon for Raviel, it functions similar to Vergil's (DMC4SE-5SE) and Kirin's (Gunvolt 3) teleporting mechanics.

Down the line I hope to show more of it but for now I continue to work in the 36 Chambers!

It is a bit unstable, trying to get the momentum steady for rebounding from surface to surface but it works! 😂
...... And yes I researched Copen from the Gunvolt games and Sparkster from the Rocket Knight games.

I am using Vergil, Shadow and Yasha for reference as Raviel will achieve high speeds in her own way different from Cyanser but the momentum remains the same.
