Converted a generic bat sprite to this new nightmare:
the Flying Mole Rat!

This is what you get when a Pokémon uses Fly and Dig at the same time...

Since starting a new job I've only had time to tinker with Save Point occasionally. Now that I've got used to the new routine, I'm trying to get back and finish at least one or two assets/features every week.

Here's hoping I can have a polished demo ready in the next few months!

🎵 Killer Queen, dynamite with an (eye) laser beam

🎵 Guaranteed to blow your mind (away)

A normal enemy, One-Eyed Jack, to go with card and royalty theme which developed in the Castle Ruins. I hope to make another musical boss next, Killer Queen!

But first, something practical... adding a customizable idle/waste turn action for enemy movelists.

Here's the (mostly) finished version of Crimson King, the biggest sprite so far

I'm going to continue the themes of both playing cards and King Crimson lyrics into the rest of the castle-based area

I've been working on one the boss sprites for the "Castle Ruins" area in SAVE POINT.

I'm considering having a few frames of animation, like hovering spears, on major opponents.

What do you think?
Can you guess the music/band reference?

Nothing visually glamourous to show today, but I've implemented most of the infrastructure for damage types and elemental strength/weakness.

Mission accomplished: I poisoned myself! 👍👍👍

I worked through a few ideas for displaying status effects, but I think this was the right solution. A thought bubble which rotates though active status effects

I know it's because I didn't change the origin point, but it feels more as though this dude is like, "I'm good, man, I'm just gonna chill over here against the wall..."

Point taken... more Dio's couldn't hurt either

It took a while, but I got this guy looking appropriately smug and drunk. Now he needs a name...

These dudes knew what was up...

My favorite new sprite art since beginning the current version of SAVE POINT! I can only imagine the variant which could appear in the "Nuclear Waste Site" area later in the game

SAVE POINT combines an early 90's setting and aesthetic with classic RPG tropes to create unique, bite-sized adventures. The world has been overtaken by darkness and most of the protective wards called "Save Points" have been destroyed. Learn more at:
