New feature being made - a small parry window while downed to save the situation.

I love stuff like this.

There's something very satisfying about writing visualizers for algorithms. #gamedev

[Decemberborn @dborngames]

It's just fun to break stuff.

I'm not getting any programming done tonight, am I? #MetroidPrime4

New trailer. Make a dev happy - take a look! #metroidvania

[Decemberborn @dborngames]

A big thank you to @clemmygames for featuring Cathedral: Crow's Curse in #BIGWinterShowcase - We loved being part of it!

Here’s the latest gameplay trailer in case you missed it:

Parry + hit to send back projectiles. I need a better effect than a dotted line though.

Hi #PitchYaGame! We're making Cathedral: Crow's Curse. A parry-and-stealth based adventure game and a prequel to @Cathedral8bit

In short: stabbing and exploring. Wishlist now.

[Eric Lavesson @EricLavesson]

@nicbiondi Thanks! That particular transition was a pain to build🥲

[Eric Lavesson @EricLavesson]

More map stuff.

[Eric Lavesson @EricLavesson]

Since I'm deeply consumed by writing map logic right now, I decided to write a longer article about the map system itself in Crow's Curse over at @IndieDB

@MXRetroDev That's awesome. Never saw many MSX:es over here in Europe. I made games on an Atari 600XL at age 9 instead, and later on in STOS on Atari ST. At that point I was already spoiled and had floppy disks instead of tapes.

"It would be cool if you could see the entire world layout in the map. How hard can it be?" #indiegame #gamedev #CrowsCurse

Parry. Parry. Hit. Hit. Critstab.
