Some clean art of rose, I needed a good portrait since I'm right now working on a small sequence with her in Bito's Box Bash.
Expect a playable demo with some VN segments implemented sometime this month!
A warmup doodle, I may animate it if there is some interest for that.

A quick reminder of the new format, It's a looser way of submitting things.
- I give a theme, and you give characters and ideas based on it, as many as you want for now.
- Optionally you can say if you want it straight/bi/gay/solo focused, or give a pose or scene idea. Be as specific or vague as you want.
- I'll take the ones I think work best and do quick doodles based on them. - I'll then pick 3-5 to put in the poll, factor...
Felt like doodlin this guy from the Space Fleet OCs I've been working on. He still lacks a name.

I started to implement the 3rd main Chance Challenge mini-game, running on a conveyor belt! Where the dice roll is for random chance, and push box is for when Bito has to perform an action with precision, and conveyor belts are for endurance situations.
So a situation it may pop up in could be if Bito has to keep a straight face under pressure, or maybe someone is preforming some kind of action on Bito, and he has to ...
Getting some work on one of the winners from this poll:

They kinda got bumped when I had PC troubles the following month.
This idea crossed my mind as I was trying to sleep so I doodled it out.
I may do a higher res drawing of it eventually.
This one is done! My next focus right now is plowing out some of these winners from the backlog.

While there is still the placeholder graphics, a lot of work has been done on the VN engine!
Transitions are a lot smoother, the nametags slide in when the speaker changes, and other things I can tweak in the conversation scripts to give the scenes a bit more life.
The main thing left to do is finish coding in all the little motions the portraits can do, like sliding in and out, bouncing, shaking, ect. The functionality is there (as seen in the video) but I need to make some eas...

Warming up today with a pixel animation loop.

I was tossing around the idea to have some areas with larger sprites, so you can get a better look at some of the NPCs while outside of a VN segment.
If I go through with the larger sprites, the exact scale I'd still have to work out, but it would mostly be used in towns, in-door areas, and such. The main game would still be in the current sprite scale though, that is not being replaced.
Something like that would not be too hard to add, with only really some collision and moveme...
Working out some different common types of these peeps.
You can find them wondering around, just causing mischief. Defeating one just sends them back to the Haze Realm, where they just puff away in a cloud of smoke (being already ghost like creatures).
The short ones are around 2' tall, the tallest one is 4' tall, and some larger ones can get up to 6-7' tall.
- The smol ones are like Goombas, just bounce or roll into them and they poof away.
- The middle ones will roll ...
Sorry for running late on this, I've been kinda ill over the last few days, not helped by the heat lol. Poll 2 should be done tomorrow, there are 5 options for that.

I'm gonna switch to the poll stuff now, but I wanted to get some clean art of his design. I did some clean lines of that old drawing, and worked out some new poses.

I got inspired to take another jab at this idea, I intended to just convert the general outline of the comic to a 4-5 image set, but after doodling around I worked out some issues the script had that were holding things up. there is probably going to be 14 pages total.
The poll stuff is still coming, I just kinda needed some small project to get my creative energy going. ngl, I've been kind burnt out and changing things up usually helps me get through stuff like that.
Here's a b...
I was planning on getting the poll out today, but lately I've been having some bad migraines and lining existing art is a bit easier on the brain lol.
I still have some cleanup to do on the lines to make a few things smoother, but after this I just gotta toss in some flat coloring and it's done!
A quick doodle of these new imps introducing themselves to Bito.

Here is a design I'm messing with for some common 'enemy' types in Bito's Box Bash.
They are semi-ghost like except for the hard armor. They can roll up into a ball, and Bito can pick them up and toss them around. They can vary in size but are commonly around Bito's height.
They are usually a chaotic mischief maker type, out to have some fun and be a trickster but are not the most aggressive.
I'm still working on refining the design and their role in the game, but this is ...
Lines need clean up and it needs color, but here is something I just felt like drawin lol.

I've been getting a lot of work done on the code that handles background music.
Here is another video with some other things demonstrated:

I can fade between a main and secondary track, lower the BGM for a bit of fanfare, sync things to the beat, and fade between different tracks of the same song depending on where you are, and other things.
I've been playing quite a bit of this game lately, and I set the colors of my character's suit to match Bito and I thought I'd doodle that out.
