Hey y'all!

So I've been gone for a while, but I refuse to give up on this... still unnamed game. Let's call it Project DRAGON for now!

Anyway, progress is coming along in 2019. Planning on getting back to regular posts. Wish me luck!😋

Hey y’all! I’ve been working on some mild random character generation. Feels good to be drawing sprites again :D

Gonna be showing off the new project soon. Just want to get some more actual gameplay done first.

[smithmanc]

Hey y’all! Made some more progress on Project Glory. Daggers now have their own dash ability. And I changed how health is displayed for a more Kingdom Hearts style. But tbh, this might be its last post. I've been bouncing between projects for a while, and I feel like I need to learn some new skills to help get over this bump in the road. Can't wait to share what I make with y'all!

[smithmanc]

Hey y'all. Progress on project glory is coming along well. Just finished my first weapon ability for swords, and the dodge rolling is in, although it doesn't look very pretty yet. 😅

[smithmanc]

Hey y'all! Sorry for the absence, but I've been working on my new action rpg!

I want to focus on making weapons that feel unique to use. So for now, I’m working on weapon types. So far I have swords, daggers, and shields working, but I have a lot more planned.

Hopefully I’ll be posting a little more regularly too 😅

Hey y'all! Sorry for going afk for so long. School's back in session and movings a bitch. I also think I'm going to have to put my main project on hold for a while to focus on school. But I will be working on my real time combat skills in the meantime...

[smithmanc]

I've had a bit of an unexpected break over the last couple days. Okami on switch is too perfect a game😅

But I am working on something new...

[yawningsfox]

Today I’ve learned. Hey.. Sound effects? They are really difficult to make! I plan on testing and re-testing and testing again all of these sound effects until I get them the way that sounds good and isn’t ear grating. This is my first time making sound effects, I am not expecting them to be perfect.

[smithmanc]

Sounds great so far!

Hey y'all! Have a look at what puzzle solving looks like in my new game, Stealth Squad!

[smithmanc]

Hey y'all! So I'm gonna be taking a short break from my main project to do a game jam and let my brain refresh. Here's a first look at the stealth puzzler I'm working on!

[smithmanc]

Hey y'all! I got a new shot type that'll help in those wide open areas. Introducing the pierce shot! I'll be showing off it's charge shot soon ;)

After over half a year I’m happy to finally be releasing the demo for DON’T GIVE UP!

Demo Download: https://trisbee.itch.io/dont-give-up-a-cynical-tale

or https://gamejolt.com/games/dontgiveup/354865

Don’t Give Up: A Cynical Tale is the sarcastic and dark comedic story of Tris, an anti-social game developer and his quest to confront his inner demons. Balance the hilariously dysfunctional tragedy that is your social life while facing off with the phantoms of your inner conscious and those that would claim it alongside action packed freestyle combat.

The story takes place four years after the events of Tris’s mental breakdown, as his inner demons seek once again to consume his mind and unleash a plague of apathy and despair upon his city.

In DON’T GIVE UP: A Cynical Tale you can expect:

An original cynical comedy about overcoming emotional destruction and self discovery

FRESH real time combat system that constantly switches between player and enemy advantage

A charming town FULL of stuff to explore like arcades, strip clubs,  burger joints, and over hyped coffee chains

To combat the mental anguish of mid life and impending male pattern baldness

If you wanna support the game please give it a rating (it will really help more folks find the game!), spread the word by reblogging (even if you only have 1 follower), or toss me a follow! I’d appreciate it very much!

Tomorrow is the day!

Build 0.1.4 is right around the corner!

AND it’s a huge upgrade from build 0.1.3 (wich you can play here)!!!

Creatures can now level up in battle if you don’t kill them fast enough!

They also have new skills, and there’s also a side panel with information on every creature in battle.

That plus the newly revamped hud!

Can’t wait for you guys to test it out! Tomorrow!!

Ask me anything!

Ko-fi

I've been working on prettifying the game a little bit. I think I really like making adjustable healthbars :) Anyway, the locket that the player wears is going to be a lot more than just a piece of jewelry...
