New update on The Lovely Ladybug #6, straight from @ShortsteelDraws ! Check it out on our P@ytr0n! (not directly linking really seems to help with metrics, based on that last post!) Which text alert sound effect do you think suits Lila better?

A quick test of the small golem for the lightning stage. It chains lightning through multiple points in randomized patterns - currently only one is set, but it'll be updated soon. #GameMaker #PixelArt #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker #screenshotsaturday

@SquireGrooktook I really like her design, Looking foward to your next devlog post! Sometimes we gotta rest properly to get these ideas going.

Sorry, no devlog this week! I was going to show off prototype for revisited throw mechanic, but I had some sleeping trouble last two days so I'm slightly behind. Next time!

With Amber's partner now following her, we've added their proper animations for entering and leaving witch mode! Mostly intended for cutscenes, as they're a bit long for normal gameplay. #GameMaker #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #platformer #screenshotsaturday

Added Amber's partner as a sprite that follows her when they aren't merged into her witch form, to add a little flavor to moments between the main gameplay sections. #GameMaker #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #platformer #screenshotsaturday

Returning to the wind level this week to give the large wind golem its miniature counterpart. Like the others it has a similar theme, but in a (much) smaller package. #GameMaker #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #platformer #screenshotsaturday #gamedevelopment #IndieGameDev

Trying something new this week - early progress on the wind level's boss design! A mysterious-looking figure with a hooded cloak doubling as wings, they'll have a variety of wind- and nature-themed attacks. #GameMaker #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #platformer #screenshotsaturday

A small update this week while we work on some other things - a quick powering down animation for Amber! She'll need to return to normal onscreen from time to time, too. #GameMaker #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #platformer #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

Of course, Amber needs a proper transformation animation too. Primarily intended for use in cutscenes, as we do need to actually see them power up from time to time. #GameMaker #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #platformer #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

Like Sapphira, Amber's powers and witch form are granted by a magical entity too - so it's finally time to give them a design! Sprite and color scheme aren't final yet, but it's getting close. #GameMaker #pixelart #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiedev

patreon.com/posts/greg-lil… New minicomic out on the Pat & Ron! Both Greg and Lila tied in the vote, so here they are on a little friends date out by Sundial City! Thanks to @ac120rfw for fact checking use of Eldest.

Sapphira's intro animation was updated to include the dragon, giving a clearer look at the two merging into her draconic boss form! The tornado effects took some time but were fun to animate. #GameMaker #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #platformer #screenshotsaturday

The humans' powers in the game come from merging with magic creatures, which needed designs! First up, Sapphira's dragon-themed powers are of course given by a dragon, whose initial menacing look had to be toned down. #GameMaker #pixelart #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiedev

One more lightning hazard before something new next week - laser lines to platform around alongside the others we've seen. They'll get more interesting with new features in the future too! #GameMaker #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedevelopment #platformer #indiedev #witch

Back in the lightning level, we've got some single-use springs for traditional bouncing-off-targets platforming. They respawn after a short time to ensure areas don't become impossible to traverse. #GameMaker #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedevelopment #platformer #indiedev

Taking a detour back to the ice level this week for an early attempt at updating its backdrop. Still a ways to go, but some ideas like the water parallax are starting to take shape. #GameMaker #pixelart #gamedevelopment #platformer #IndieGameDev #indiedev

This week we've got one of the core lightning hazards, electrified floor tiles that come in various configurations. Getting all the options set up was a little tough for this one. #GameMaker #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedevelopment #platformer #IndieGameDev #indiedev

I'm a bit late for #screenshotsaturday this week, but the lightning stage is as much about the hazards of the level itself as its enemies - starting with a simple lightning trap built into its walls. #GameMaker #pixelart #gamedevelopment #platformer #IndieGameDev #indie #gamedev
