Updated the enemies from demo feedback to use customizable paths to add predictability to movement
Also lol I’m reworking that green scarf guy with a new design. Never really liked that one anyway and thought the battle transition with him missing sprites was funny.

Running around Block F. Exploration feels really smooth after reworking the collision system. Still lots of reworking I'm sure
I also just finished an early version of the city theme and love how it meshes

Some of Mixheart's dialogue portraits

Glimpse of Bankruptcy Casino’s third floor #indiedev #pixelart
Part of a cutscene I was working on. The sketch was a fun way to practice perspective. Needs shading and more work still though.

Exploring Sona’s room in MixHeart. Testing a new video format for posting
#indiedev
Options aren’t a fun part of the process, but it now has some quality of life game options along with setting changes
#indiedev
One of the shops you can eventually explore in MixHeart, WIP. I wanted a mix of pop culture references and world building.
It’ll house an optional mini game
#pixelart #indiedev
Started adding rim lighting to make lights feel like they affect characters
#indiedev #indiegame
Convenience store in Block F
WIP
#indiedev #pixelart
The market is a place where different vendors in Block F gather to sell goods
#pixelart #indiedev
Exploring the Diner. Like other places in Block F I want it to be a place the player can revisit for various reasons
Making things exist first

A mantis woman stands in front of a large, beetle-like creature several times her size.

Happy new year!
I hope to develop and show more of MixHeart this year.

Entering the park from the north entrance.
I kind of mentally picture top down kind of horizon-ish lighting, but I will make it more defined later with benches and denser shadows
#pixelart #indiedev
Been working on audio balancing and sketching my own tracks
The vinyl shop was something I did early on pixel art wise, so I think I’ll come back to it for a makeover in the future
#indiedev #indiegame
Inventory bank system in MixHeart. I haven't gone over the specifics of the UI look, but I think I got a design down. I want it to invoke old Windows vibes.
Characters have limited inventory slots, so each character can hold 10 things both equipped and unequipped.

Did you know Goto has a different parry sprite if he lands it frame 1?
HYPERFIGHT 2 online playtest live until Dec. 26!

Small moment from Mixheart in the diner
#indiedev #pixelart #rpg
I made a little green booth by the park entrance. It’ll probably have a side quest related to it and maybe extra detail to better indicate its purpose
#indiedev #pixelart
Naruto for sure
Getting closer to a detail pass. Building a city is harder than it looks lol. Still working through lighting and depth
#pixelart #indiedev
The run-away mechanic was something I wanted to give a personal touch, so I themed it
I'll probably animate the vinyl player and a special "run away" run for each character later on based on their personality

I didn’t really like the idea of just trees for my park section of the city, so I met in the middle with an artificial approach based on how other parts of MixHeart feel so far

A look at one of MixHeart’s early puzzle mechanics 👀
The little TV effect with a larger photo is meant, in some situations, to see something up close or to add to a moment. Here it's used as a basic WIP hint

Livin’ in the city
This is another part of a walkable back alley in Block F
#pixelart #indiegame
Thank you!! ❤️
This is Sona, Mixheart's main protagonist. I’m aiming for a muted, gritty vibe and her design tries to reflect that. Basically, cyberpunk energy without the futurism with some hints of older style and tech.
#pixelart #indiedev #indiegame
The park is meant to feel more open but kind of off to contrast the city.
It’s an explorable area that will have some side quests. Had fun with making reflections
