I've just been sitting around the past few days. Haven't been feeling well. This short Aseprite animation, a couple lines of dialogue and about 8 seconds of music are all I have to show for my gamedev work.

Gamedev update: Took way longer to make this than I want to admit. Still can't figure out how to make his walk look more realistic in a way that looks good. See how his back step doesn't get further away? Tried using darker shades to simulate the effect instead.

Not gonna lie, learning to do even simple animations has been really hard for me. I'm still new to this stuff. Keep finding little mistakes. I'm getting there tho. Anyway, that's it for gamedev updates. Kinda just been trying to relax the past few days.

Decided to keep the exaggerated walk animation. It'll probably look goofy to some but I like it, so it stays. Still working on converting the other two playable characters to the new style but it's going well.

I love your cat, btw.

Small gamedev update: I think I'm happy with this idle animation as well. Still tweaking the final one but I'm getting there. Also feeling a little more comfy in Aseprite.

Started work on the idle animations. If it wasn't obvious he's a robot before, it is now. That's about it from me today as far as gamedev and Aseprite goes.

Small gamedev update: Took a bit but I'm happy with the overworld sprite for the third and final playable character in my game. Had fun but I need to properly learn Aseprite. Still just fumbling around.

Kinda feel like I wanna make the whole game in this style.

Small gamedev update: I'm now happy with the overworld sprite of the second character in my retro style JRPG project. Hated it at first but did some tweaking. I think I have come to love this super simplified pixel art style. Just feels right.

Smallest gamedev update ever: Fixed a few mistakes and changed his legs after hearing feedback. Also changed the color of his goggle lens to be less confusing. The grey thing behind him is a weapon, btw.

Worried some might think the exaggerated walk is stupid but it reminds me of Chrono Trigger.

Gamedev update: So I went in a different direction than yesterday. I'm inexperienced with pixel art and Aseprite, so I dumbed it down. Here's the overworld walking sprite for the main character.

I wanted smaller sprites outside towns to help express the vastness of the world.

Small gamedev update: Been working on nothing but the music for a long time so I decided to get back to the pixel art.

... Forgot how to use Aseprite already, but here's an idle animation. After the break, I think I've decided to make them more detailed than this.

#JRPG #indiegamedev #RPGmaker

Gamedev update: Back to work on a song I've been slowly writing for a LONG time now for my retro JRPG. There are parts I feel confident about but others need work, like the first verse. Sounds a bit empty. And the second one needs to change things up maybe.
