Complete module animation examples 🌱

Some examples of how the upgrade art works for the module cards. The icon determines the input part, and the animation the output part. These modules would give these effects:

- gain growth points on enemy death

- spawn missile on grapple slash

- apply shock on critical hits

- gain shield when healing

OUTPUT parts 🌱

I shared the input parts a few days ago, these are the output animations they will be paired with! I’ll post some examples in a moment to explain how these work :}

Thank you all so much for your support this month. Taking a pause from sprout stuff to work on commissions, but I’ll get back to it as soon as possible! Really exciting stuff to see this all come together, my next job is updating/expanding the dash animation. But yeah, thank you for supporting me this month, a...

INPUT parts 🌱

Artwork for the input side of the module cards, these will be paired with an output animation on the final upgrade!

The Dream Journal ☁️📖

“… and god, my dreams. I don’t know what’s wrong with me - every time I sleep it’s… it’s like a floodgate of shapes, and patterns. Walking through my own day, over and over. Like falling, a sudden jolt in my gut. Falling into my own footsteps, feeling things I know I couldn’t be feeling, seeing shapes. Seeing patterns, reproducible links, such obvious connections. That doesn’t even make any sense, I can’t - I can’t articulate. But when I’m there, it’s second nature. ...

Modular upgrade card 🌱

A new upgrade card for the modular upgrades, here’s an example of a finished one and a bit of concept stuff explaining the information

Radio 🌱

For listening to tunes :} we have it set up so that music gets quieter in the bedroom scene as you move away from the radio! It makes the whole thing feel very alive!

Missile 🌱

One of the outputs for the modular upgrades is “spawn missile”, this is how they’ll look !

Status bar update 🌱

The status bar has also gotten a cool aesthetic overhaul, it’s now a little simpler too in terms of displaying information !

Whole bunch of FX animations! 🌱

A bunch of little FX work, all to be slotted into specific places. I mentioned on the discord but realised I have talked about it here - no update video this month! This is just because the work we’ve been doing has been for me a lot of small asset pieces like this, and for Val reworking and improving existing systems, ironing out bugs, and getting things stronger than before. Record ding and editing the update videos takes us both a decent chunk of time, which right now we wanna spend on m...

JESTER - timelapse 🌱

JESTER - Animation set 🌱

I’ve been very excited to share these animations - this is the Jester!

The gimmick with this enemy is they are an elementalist - the jester can shift between 3 states: burn, shock, and acid.

They have 2 attacks - a two hit slash attack, and a dive. If they haven’t shifted, these attacks will just deal damage, but in their elemental forms each attack will apply a nasty debuff of the respective colour.

the crawlers are our only melee enemy right now, and on their own they�...

Upgrade concepts 🌱

Concepts for the next set of upgrade animations I’m working on - I have a few of these finished I’ll post after these!

Trying to keep these as simple as I possibly can so experienced players will be able to tell them all apart at a glance, while still trying to make the designs fun and animations interesting!

Status Effects 🌱

The three debuffs you can apply to enemies! Acid, Burn, and Shock!

I won’t go into detail about how these effects work in detail here, we’re still ironing out the bumps and I’m sure I’ll give u all a full rundown in the February update video :}
