Was working on a jump animation and ended up with a crouch pose I really like — happy with that. 😌

This is one of the animations from when I was still figuring it out (just one leg, 4 frames). Comparing them, the final version feels way smoother to me!

Added a run animation for the player character! The front arm is empty for now — planning to give it a sword later. 🗡️

@mabotofu06 メトロイドヴァニアもニーア好きです！私も同じジャンルのゲーム開発してるので仲良くしましょう！

[bluemt @bluemt_dev]

@Chakuri66 With the level of detail in your pixel art, no wonder the assets take a while. Rooting for you as a fellow dev!

[bluemt @bluemt_dev]

Working on the less visible side of game dev today, but this stuff matters too.

Drew the player's melee attack animation for my pixel art game!
Just 3 key frames for now — anticipation, impact, and recovery — to get the timing right in-game.
The attack was just a stick figure until now, so this is a big step up!

Added patrol state to the goblin in my pixel art game!
Walking back and forth between two points using the chase animation from the other day.
Custom physics keeps the speed consistent even on slopes.

[bluemt @bluemt_dev]

So many games announced recently that I want to play, but when you're making games you never have time to play them lol

[bluemt @bluemt_dev]

Added knockback and hit stop to the player's attack feedback in my pixel art game! 6 frames of hit stop felt too heavy for melee, so about 3 frames seems just right.

@bromanguy0 The fluidity in the attack animations is so satisfying to watch! Having done some animation myself, I really appreciate how much work goes into making it look this smooth!

[bluemt @bluemt_dev]

Goblin chase animation for my pixel art game — just 3×2 key frames in Aseprite!
Only moving the legs and bobbing the upper body for now, but it looks like a good starting point. What do you think?

[bluemt @bluemt_dev]

Brushed up the goblin's look in my pixel art game!
Cleaned up the silhouette and added 3-tone shading in Aseprite — I think it turned out way better!
Which do you prefer, before or after?

[bluemt @bluemt_dev]

Added an enemy that fights back.
Hit flash, damage popups, and a death effect.
Can you tell what this enemy is from the silhouette?

First look at the combat prototype — basic attack and health system in progress.
