Thank you! I'm going to be overhauling Episode 3's field sprites and I'll be showing off Episode 4's new battle sprites once they're done. 😀

Inspired by Parasite Eve, Cold and Afraid is a cinematic RPG the aims to capture the feel and style of the original classic. It features 3D models over pre-rendered backgrounds, a spectacular villain, and a funky PSX soundtrack.

I'll hop onto this trend, too. Can you tell I love RPGs? I kinda cheated with the Trails series, but so many are my favorites. I highly recommend the vastly underrated Forever Home and Divided Reigns that are on my list.

I'm making practically 4 games in one with the linked Episodes each being full-length on their own. So, I get to make one hopefully amazing game while also exploring these other stories in a shared universe.

Otherwise, I'm all about one incredible game. Not that I'd stop there, though. 😜

In a mood for battles! So, for the devs out there, let's do a #ThursdayThrowdown and see your battle screens!

I'll start out with the four Episodes of Zenogaias. Note that some are using placeholders while new battle sprites are being created.

Work in progress but I’m adding a feature to let you change the colors of your party members. The palettes are pre-made but can be changed any time from the status menu. #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #retrogaming #gaming

Thank you for the feedback! I'm using paid tilesets for Episodes 1 and 2 available to indie devs from some amazing sprite artists, so I'll see if I can maybe customize them a bit further style-wise. Appreciate the input.

Not at the moment, no. I've got my bases covered, but thank you. :D

Definitely are! Especially Airgigs, their are some amazing quality vocalists on there. Highly recommended.

Yes for both my sprites and for bust art. Looking forward to seeing how these battle spritesheets turn out. 😀

Yeah, I had a fantastic artist do the bust art for me already for both the party/enemies and major NPCs of Episode IV. 😀 Here's a few of them.

I provided the artist with the placeholders i made for the specs of how the sprites should be and so forth. It's a lot easier for the artist I've found when they've got solid reference points. 😀

Just commissioned a sprite artist on Fiverr to create new battle spritesheets for the party members and some antagonists for Episode IV of Zenogaias. I'm really looking forward to seeing them!

After that, I'll be having more custom instrumental + vocal tracks commissioned. Airgigs is a godsend.

After a bit of an unintended hiatus from YouTube, we're back with an amazing demo playthrough of Llewl and the Lyre of Two Worlds!

This is a project I've been following for some time and highly recommend it to fans of classic and modern RPGs alike.

Now this is absolutely fascinating! There's a premise in there somewhere using this feature as the basis for a whole in-world/meta-type JRPG game based on cross-save decisions (like parallel worlds-type of thing). Maybe a future project of yours? There's a definite hook here for sure.

Based on the feedback from the last battle HUD, the VIT and ETH gauges have been changed to be more easily visible, and the act gauge background has changed for improved visibility.
