The Animation That Plays When The Cursed Orb Item Is Used.

i just uploaded the trailer onto youtube

more progress on the bestiary today.

I've put together a free pack of 186 photos I've taken, mostly focussing on urban environments with some other subjects. Feel free to use them for whatever you want (games/visual novels/art etc.) for free or commercial use. It would be cool to see what people make with them, but no credit is required. https://lunaticker.itch.io/background-pack

A flawless strategy if you ask me.

i decided to add some last minute items because why not

the first item is called the orb of freezing:

this item affects all enemies (including enemies that spawn after the item is used) and it basically stops them from doing anything. it will last for 12-16 player turns and will have a cooldown that lasts 12-16 new room generations (the cooldown amount will be the same as the use duration.) this item will not work on bosses (and certain boss minions) and has a 1/30 chance of appearing in act 2. it will also deal 2 damage to the player when used.

the next (and final because there is no way i'm adding 3 items at once) item is the orb of blood theft:

this item is passive and allows the player to heal 1 health when attacking an enemy. i created this mainly to be used with the orb of freezing as a free healing method for the player (assuming all goes well the player will heal 8 health every time). the potion healing upgrade will also increase the healing of this item to 2, which makes the healing upgrade a lot more useful. this item has a 1/20 chance of appearing in the first levels of act 1, a 1/10 chance of appearing in the last levels of act 1. and has a 1/5 chance of appearing in the first levels of act 2.

(wow i did not expect to vomit out two walls of text)

introducing enemy no. testing!

i will be testing out battle mechanics using this enemy. the battle mechanics are the main reason why i'm making a prototype in the first place (i'm not sure if they would work)

yes, it is the grim reaper. i might reuse the sprite in the game over screen.

I just figured out how to use the transparency tool in the art program I use and now I'm redoing almost everything I have done in the last 2 months.

my artist is currently working on sprites at the speed of an snail. but then again he has school so he might not have as much time.

what program do you use to create music for your games?

I mainly use Musescore 4 for music composition. I also sometimes use flat.io for quickly testing out ideas.
