Remake of my first game in Godot. Contribute to NekoZer0158/Sapphire-Hero-Rewritten development by creating an account on GitHub.

5 years ago I made my first game made in Godot - Sapphire Hero. To celebrate it, I decided to publish Sapphire Hero Rewritten under the copyleft license (GPL-3.0-only).

I made a few videos where I talk about different ideas from past games and some of my own ideas. I made it because I had thoughts about some things in those games, and I would love to see them in indie games more often, while some not.

I'm still working on my next game, but much slower. I once again lost motivation, but it will come back after a few months (that's how it works with me, from hating to do anything with the game to then being completely absorbed by it after some time).

The last non-bug-fixing update for Sapphire Hero Rewritten. To be honest, I'm tired of supporting both games in the Sapphire Hero series, porting improvements from one game to another. From now on I will only support SH2R, while the first game will only get bug-fixing updates.

Also, I added a new boss in the first game.

1.6 update for SH2R and 2.3 update for SHR are available on itch.io

Level 4 from my next game. It's still WIP, but mostly done.

I'm back.

Sorry for no posts, my motherboard died, so I had to change it. Now I will continue making my games.

I added more decorations to the previous levels so they look more interesting. I will continue adding them while working on the fourth level.

Making a remake of my strategy game.

Five years ago I made a strategy game about the American Civil War. The result wasn't so great, so I want to remake it. I will do it while working at the same time on my current project with a main focus on an exploration game, while a strategy will be a secondary thing until the main game is done.

I have many ideas, and I really want to realize them. For now I'm working on biomes.

I have started to make visuals for the fourth level; here is a small part of it (WIP).

Modding in my games

For now, there are only two games that you can make mods for: Sapphire Hero Rewritten and Sapphire Hero 2 Rewritten. My current modding tools work only with those two, but I want all my future games to have modding, so I will make a universal modding plugin that will help me to easily add mod support. Maybe I will even publish it on GitHub.

I will start to work on it after finishing my current game and before publishing it.

shoot'em up in scenery of WW I and Spanish Civil War

This is the first game I have published on itch.io. Original games were made in just 5 days; at least the first one was, but the second was made in more days because I was too ambitious. The remake features both parts in one and is now in 3D. This is the last project that I made in Godot 3.

The game features:

12 levels (6 levels each game)

9 playable planes (2 in the first game and 7 in the second game)

6 bosses (2 in the first game and 4 in the second game)

4 difficulty levels in the second game

How many games do I plan to make in the Sapphire Hero series?

I will make two more games in a series and only two, because I don't have good ideas for more games, and I plan to end the story in Sapphire Hero 4.

A few years ago, before remakes, I was planning to make a Sapphire Hero 5, which will be a 3D action game, but I dropped that idea and will not come back to it.

I was planning to make a tower defense game, but I lost motivation; maybe I will return to this project later, but definitely not this year. The game was supposed to be in a magical world, inspired by World of Illusion
