Hey everyone! It's been a very, very long time... but, I'm glad to be back working on Resonant Blade! I'll be posting shorter videos once a week to keep everyone apprised of all the new updates.

#gamedev #indiedev #devlog

Atlas got a makeover with a new color palette and better movement animations. The Resonant Blade also got a makeover with a sleeker, more realistic-sized style, new attack animations, and now shows up on Atlas's sprite as he runs around.

Thanks for watching everyone!

Indie Game Devlog 29: Visual Improvements [ DARK SYNTH CITADEL ]

How's it going? I'm taking a look at my game's combat system. It's better, but is it good enough? Sure, why not...

#gamedev #pixelart #devlog

Lots of polish and improvement for the feel of the combat. I added in some new death sequences for enemies along with switching out the old particle explosions for sprite versions. The scanner also shows a new outline effect around Atlas and enemies. Thanks for watching!
