Vivid Dead Devlog Update

So it's been a long time again since a development update. Today I have a small amount of new info to post.

Recently I managed to finish a lot of important scenes and other parts. For example the intro scene, the ending scenes, the final boss events, are mostly complete. However there's sti...

Happy Halloween

Vivid Dead is getting closer to completion, but it will still be a little while longer. Sorry for the wait.

Vivid Deadは完成に近づいている、もう少し時間がかかります。ごめんなさい。

Skye Over the City

I drew some more art for Skye this time, as Kotone already has a few scenes like this.
On a side note her animations are very close to complete at this point, though I can't showcase how she fits into the story just yet.

I know many people eager for more news but there's really not much I can say right now as I just have to stay focused on finishing the rest of the game and I don't want to reveal anymore beyond what the demos already contain.
It will still take at least the rest...

Merry Christmas!

and happy new year. That's all I have for 2024, look forward to more Vivid Dead in the future.

Erie Yagami artwork plus other news

This month and last I got several enemies completed. Recently I've been mostly just making enemies everyday since most of the level design is done.

In September my computer power supply broke, so I started ...

Happy Halloween 2024

I wanted to draw a character that hasn't been seen in a while this time. No this is not for an upcoming Moon Rhapsody update.

Vivid Dead Comic #1

Skye Chione artwork plus other news

I was going to post an update before February but I had a lot to deal with last few weeks, including not having electricity for a couple days, but everything is back in order now. I manged to complete one stage in January and mostly finished planning the one remaining though there are a couple old stages I think need some heavy improvement that I've been doing this week. 

At this point, 90% of the game is fully mapped out it's mostly a matter of just going through and drawing the a...

Onward

So 2024 is just around the corner, there's still a lot of things I want to finish before I show more gameplay. I feel like December was mostly a successful month of progress, 2 more stages of the 4 I had left are 90% complete minus enemies and some missing background elements. Although some of the earlier ones now I feel like I may need to go back again and improve slightly as I don't think the quality is quite on the same level as the more recent areas as a result of many refinements to the ...

Last month of the year...

Another month already over, I know many want to know what's happening, and whether another demo is coming. Well good news is I feel like I made a lot of progress this month, more than I usually get done at least. I've added and polished multiple areas in the game, made some existing parts a little longer. I still have around 4 stages not finished, though 2 are in the early phase of develo...

Happy Halloween!

One year since I revealed the trailer and title for Vivid Dead, time feels like it flies extremely fast these days. Once again I'm moving around so it will be a few days to a week before I can get settled and focus again on the game, but more information should be posted soon.

Summit Hut

I have another stage that is now mostly finished but needs more enemies and polish to the visuals. The snowy stage I posted above is still around half way done and is probably the second or third largest one I will make. Hopefully I can have the rest of the parts to it finished within the week. I'm still however at 4 stages left not started at all, all of them are not part of the main path that leads to the end but mostly are still required to complete the game. Besides that I made some more ...

Forest Foes

I've been moving around a lot lately and am no longer living where I have been the last 5 years, or even permanently settled where I am now, so it's been a little harder for me to focus on development than usual. But I've gotten back to a more steady pace for now at least.

Risa's animations are just ab...

Risa Akiyama + scene concept sketches

Ninja for hire, Risa Akiyama appears as a strong enemy in Vivid Dead, but often times she takes the role as your opponent in minigames scattered throughout the stages. She doesn't harbor any ill will towards Kotone, but she enjoys fighting, and eating, and money...especially money.

I also included artwork below I want to use for cutscenes that aren't finished yet. Mostly just for the intro, but there might be a few more throughout the game.

Short Update

I've had a bit of rough time the last few weeks getting everything done  that I wanted. While I've been trying to avoid it as much as possible, I  had to go back and rebuild some areas a in order to fit with changes made to the game's flow, and ultimately decided to remove some stages that I was planning so that I could put more effort into other areas of the game that I think still need it. Some parts of the cut areas I merged into  the existing ones however. At this point the...

Kotone and the Ghoul Gang

There hasn't been a proper devlog in a while so I think this time I'll give a little more information on what's been developed so far.

I already shown some changes to Kotone's moveset. You can now aim paint manually by using the strong attack key and you can now crouch and attack with other weapons besides the kodachi. The dash attack I decided to remove entirely however, as I found it wasn't ...

Vivid Dead Extended Demo v0.1

v0.1.3 Update:

Not as many changes to this version but a few important issues that needed fixing have been addressed.

Bug fixes:

-Not able to select X Input controller in control settings.

-Missing ceiling collision in 1-1.

-Pressing X key on the title screen causing an error.

-Game not saving after clearing a stage.

-1-3 switch not resetting after exiting and returning to the stage.

Changes:

-Light Paint hit...

Fountain in the Rain

Since all the basic mechanics are done I'm likely going to spend the next few months just doing level design. How many levels it'll have I  won't say, the game will probably not take very long to beat, but I'm aiming to make it open ended enough that the player has reasons to revisit areas multiple times.

Nocturne Update

So I'm aware I haven't said a word about Moon Rhapsody in a very long  time now, which I'm sure many people who are reading this would come  here to see but I spent the last few months mostly working on Nocturne  because MR is unfortunately going to still take a long time to develop  before I can show anymore progress, and Nocturne I can work on faster at  the moment since t...

Weapon and Items Merchant

No lewds this time, sorry.

Adventurer Tier Change

I decided to remove the design an item/tag reward from the adventurer tier as no one ever messaged me directly with any requests since I created the page. So in it's place, people on this tier now have the option to request a custom pixel art or sprite image of 128x128 max size, animated potentially but don't expect the smoothest motion. I would allow commissions for full sized art but I'm not sure how I feel about doing that yet and I may not even use Patreon for that if I do end up doing it...
