Hey friends!

We’ve been on a short hiatus while we finish up our other game, Celeste. But that’s nearing completion and then we’ll be back to Skytorn to focus on getting it done soon. Hope everyone is having a rad 2017!

We’ve been working on Skytorn for a little while, so felt it was time for a new Preview! Please take a look :D

Hello! I'm a game programmer currently working on a party fighting game. I'd let to know why does your character have multiple hit boxes

She has a few different ones, and it’s mostly to get game-feel right:

1) Solid Collider is the hitbox for dealing with walls / terrain2) Hurt Collider is the hitbox for getting hit by enemies. Originally Solid & Hurt colliders were the same, but I wanted to change where her collisions happened and when she got hurt so they got separated.3) Crouching Collider Same as the Solid Collider, but only for when she’s crouching / crawling / ducking4) Ledge Collider not very important but used to deal with ledge grabbing detection. could program ledge stuff without this but given the Skytorn engine it was just easier to have one for this.

There’s also a hitbox for her melee attacks, but it changes size and is only active during the actual frames of damage.

Ikenfell - Kickstarter!

Ikenfell is an RPG adventure about witches, wizards, the magic school they attend, & the trouble they get into! Think Harry Potter meets Paper Mario meets Final Fantasy meets Steven Universe.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chevyray/ikenfell/

Sounds good? Great! Because Aivi & Surasshu, the musicians for Steven Universe, wrote the music in that trailer! If the Kickstarter succeeds, they’ll write the game’s entire soundtrack!

The game is about adorable kids learning about powerful magic and getting into all sorts of trouble. It looks like this…

Oh and being a school of magic, there are also loads and loads of cats…

I’ve heard tumblr likes magical kids and Steven Universe and cats… so here you go! If you like what you see, please help us reach our funding goal so we can make this game. I promise to pour my entire heart into every last bit of it! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chevyray/ikenfell/

Love, Chevy <3
