Good news! Even though progress is slow from the Holidays to the New Year, things are going and what better off than to have good ol' revamps? Curious? Have a peak. Mao had a MAJOR revamp from her recent sprite while Seichi and Ayasuka had obvious minor changes, but it's better to have quality. More to come in the future and until then, Happy Holidays and have a safe New Year!

News Update! Okay, our Programmer is working on a new build as I speak. However, we picked up some new members in terms of sound design as well as music, however the current composer had to quit because of a record label scenario. As much I don't want to over saturate the team, these 'in case' scenarios are being more frequent. Team: DaPhyre, dA, Lead Programmer TanjatheBat, dA, Animation (Character) FancySass98, dA, Backup Musician (Problem: He needs another Musician to collaborate with since CoN has school) Incoming: OpenLight, NewGrounds, Potential Musician? Inactive/Away: CanofNothing, SFGHQ, Musician (School) BreyaMayan, dA, Tileset Artist (School) Novally, PixelJoint, PixelArt (Inactive) ..I'm gonna have to cut out some people..this is getting too huge for a team.

UPDATE! A true blue playtest screenshot of Ayasuka (Unity Engine). This is an unfinished sprite of her that our Programmer is using. However, we could use a Tileset Artist and Enemy Design Artist to help progress things faster.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkS4hA4Xuog UPDATE! Very Early Gameplay video and announcements if anyone wants to look. I know it's mostly unfinished but progress is going! Sorry if it's choppy but Camstudio..yeah. Will update with a replacement video.

Okay, we have a Programmer for DB, now we need another Tileset Artist (since our current one is busy with school) and another Musician (backup). Message me if interested.

Well guys, we're moving along and quite literally at that sense. Get the hint? If not, then: BAM! Now you know and this is a rough draft. It'll be fixed in the final..and would you look at that, Ayasuka's looking as crisp as ever (even though her contrast needs fixing.) On top of that, a new stage song is in the works as well as many other things and I know it's a small update but I wanted to point out that this project is still alive and going (though slow and steady).
-
@Rawr: Yeah, white looks more legible; oh and thanks for the compliment.
-
Well, this can be an issue of time. Starting in fall, college is going to be sucking up development time for DB which I'm a bit uneasy about..

Who's hyped as me for the release of Freedom Planet?

@thevaleev: But he can release the PC version on the GalaxyTrail site correct?
-
@Ark-E No, Steam for the first.

Kinda late to figure out that Steam games don't come out on weekends... *groan*
Oh well, still looking forward to it.

Characters! Calm and reasonable, Emperor Ryuuchi of Kazujin is also an authority figure that not only protects the citizens of his kingdom, but make sure there is equality among all kinds to maintain peace with the people. Rumor has it that there is something of a long lost connection from his past.. Anyone remember this guy? No, well then. This is Ryota, obviously the leader of the three guardians under Emperor Ryuuchi's command. Over the years, he along with Ayasuka have been having conflict after conflict with each other, however maybe just maybe, there's something different this time.. I know he usually has his staff but I kinda excluded it in this update, maybe next update. Concept! *WIP, not final titlescreen Been experimenting with this; if you can't read the first one, there's always the second one. One more thing.. Treasure Chests, the update to the element crystals and some wordings I'm working on.

Arkenova.. Well, one of my usernames of another forum was ArksisEternal and another was pknova2010 (I was heavily into the Earthbound fandom at the time), so I mashed both together to create Arkenova. Who knew it stuck to me? Probably because it sounds so awesome.

Character Update! Several Newcomers! Clay Zheng [ Art ] One of Mao's many sisters that runs the restaurant business in Houng-Tu. Unlike Mao, she is more upbeat and cheerful of the sisters. She will serve as a shop NPC. ??? [ Art ] The enigmatic character. He serves for one purpose and that is to track down whoever is responsible for causing the crisis in the first place. Many say that he bears a strong aria of darkness and is a curse among the lands. TEAM Update: We have gotten a newcomer Musician on the team (something of a volunteer effort since he was willing). The tile artist on the other hand is still working on the tiles and progress may be a bit slow ..and my tablet won't work, so future character sprites will be worked by mouse.
-
@Serephim: Thanks. Your kind words mean alot.
-
LATEST UPDATE: We're getting an engine together and I have been trying to contact the tile artist but no response. I will try again and as for character sprites, expect delays. I know that things have been slow but that doesn't mean we're not progressing.

Gimmick Update CRYSTALS?! Hey, you're ripping off- okay, no, just listen before you judge, because yes, even though it's similar ideal to a certain indie game coming out soon, they have benefits that will add on more than just the protection of the character. Hear me out: the green and cyan shards are unobtainable for inventory and serves as temporarily basis for life/energy replenishment. They are meant to be not abused because it will recover less each and every time; careful planning is key because if you take it for more than granted, the crystal will eventually shatter and disappear for good. However, the other four are elemental shields and are obtainable for inventory for later use. Now, there's four elements: water, fire, wind and earth, however these can only provide the similar benefits as mentioned in the recent topic but are not able to be combined and are considered useful by everyone. Wind: Increases Speed (increases speed on user depending on the level), grants user relevant elemental ability; will be able to boost dash into the air and can blow off enemies in different directions. Earth: Increases Defense (lowers attack from enemies depending on the level), grants user relevant elemental ability; will be able to smash through blocked-off areas by boulders and ram through enemies without much problem. Fire: Increases Offense (increase attack from user depending on the level), grants user relevant elemental ability; will be able to speed up on the ground, resistant against lava Water: No additional effect; grants user relevant elemental ability; will be able to breathe underwater for extended period. You can stack these to layer the effects of each shield to another level; max is around Level 3, however after one - two hits, it will break the shield. Remember this is WIP and it's not final. In conclusion, what do you guys think? Any suggestions, comments or questions about it? Your input is valuable. Update: Okay, it edited it. Thinking on the golden heart one though.

Spark the electric jester - (DEMO v3 BETA)
Ark-E replied to LakeFeperd's topic in Game Project Showcase
Awesome as always Fepard and I wish us, along with many others, both luck in the indie scene. -
@Riseodvi: The tile artstyle is as DerZocker says as if it's like one of the 16-bit vintage early Genesis/Megadrive titles had. I believe a good example would be like The Revenge of Shinobi since that came out in 1989. TEAM Update: Bad news, our Pixel Artist, Mr. Din, for doing the characters sprites, has left the team because he was hired out by another team, so I'm a bit tensed up, however, I wish for him the best of luck. However, the good news is that a new tileset will be coming in from one of our tileset artists, BrendaMaya, this coming weekend.
