Haven't posted much due to focusing on the not-cool stuff. So here's my level design process! From sketching the layout, to blocking out, to texturing & vertex coloring. The shading of each room is its type: combat, puzzle, lore, or treasure. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Further refinements to the ground pound. You get to blow away smaller enemies! The playstyle is not melee-focused and slam damage is minimal, but skilled players will be able to chain moves like a dance. #gamedev #steamgame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

goba (ACT 2 out NOW)@GobaDevOct 20
I was so scared for so long of being seen as pretentious. It's kind of gauche for an artist to talk about what their work is supposed to mean, but I think I designed the game to be so unassuming that I failed to prepare people for the kind of story Carter's Quest is trying to be

More combo-like skills: the airstrike! This is for those slow weapons that require stopping to fire. You can chain a ground slam into a shot, firing directly downwards. Some note below. #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart #megaman

Since gameplay still feels a bit static, I'm adding some moves for more advanced players. These act like combos, chaining a few moves into better combat/traversal skills. They might need unlocking tho.

Amazed by the awesome reception of my first serious video in Youtube. 15k views! Thanks everyone-- it really motivates me to keep going. I've uploaded a 10min gameplay of the starting area, if you're curious: youtu.be/rQf3mIyb52w #megaman #steamgames

One thing from Megaman Legends I sorely missed: Ride Armors! #gamedev #indiegame #megaman #adamantheart

These should appear in Act 2 of the game. Probably limited to a few areas only, but will radically change the playstyle. Instead of dodging and running, you get to be an unstoppable force.

I rarely bother with IK. Often it's just easier to place down a few markers for the feet positions during different parts of the animation

Working on combat dynamics. Getting knocked down was a showstopper... so I added air recovery! You can regain control mid-air, and even dash away! #gamedev #steamgames #megaman #adamantheart

Some notes: This is the only way to do aerial dashing tho, because otherwise it can break progression. Many areas in the game are locked behind your movement skills. Also, air recovery prevents falling to the very bottom of cliffs, if you mistime a jump.

These are the true liminal spaces. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing these screenshots on a grainy printed magazine bought on the way home after school. The textures, the colors, the rumors... it was an incredible time for childhood.

Been thinking about how strange the OOT 1997 builds look.

Been working on the final boss of character movement: ledge climb! Need to balance animation, moving the player, and making it look good while not clipping the ledge. Also, gliding has thruster effects now! #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

Took the chance to make another pose… and now that we’re at it, why not redo all steam capsules? Now it looks like a proper game. #steamgames

Just a WIP on what I've been cooking. I always try and make sure things look good while its still fullbright, as lighting should add to your environments and not be the final touch that makes it look good.

Seeing @Cornf_Blue's Lina made want to pick up a pencil. Decent enough, but still a long way to go. Here's the first official concept art of Erissa!

The PZ3D mod got me fooling around with the camera. Would you play a Megaman Legends like this? #indiegame #gamedev #megaman #adamantheart

For clarification, it's just a gimmick I made up on the spot! There's a million gameplay issues with this camera setup and if it ever makes it to the final game, it might be as a tool for youtubers or something like that. Maybe a 2nd window.
