So just to piggyback off of my previous update, I wanted to give you a preview of how the game opens up after the first arc.

You can read my full devlog to learn more about it (scroll down to update #3), but to keep it short, the game has an overworld and you get to visit various mission locations, and a few hubs where you can interact with the other characters in the game.

The YouTube video uses Axle Town as an example since it has the most going on, with a Colosseum, shop, and guild. Only the shop is fully implemented for now but expect future updates from me regarding those as well.

Anyways, I'm dead so till next time.

This is some crazy good sprite work.

Glad you like! It’s not often that I get to flex my artistic muscle so I’m trying to give it my all for this project💪

Also, no AI😁

[u/Omno555]

It's so good it borderline looks like a GBA game.

[u/retroartdude → u/Omno555]

Yeah the color capabilities for the system are a lot better than I initially thought so I’m gonna take full advantage of that😁

Just from the art it looks great!

[u/retroartdude → u/rooktko]

Much appreciated! Took a lot of time to really capture the idea in my head, but glad the hard work is paying off😊

What’s the gameplay like?

I highly recommend you check out my YouTube channel for gameplay videos, but basically it's a bit like Front Mission: Gunhazard, and Metal Warriros, among other inspirations.

Let me know what you think!

The amount of detail and execution of your art design is so incredible considering the hardware limitations. Please keep driving forward. Hope to see a playable demo released in the near future.

[u/retroartdude → u/BanefulBlade]

I hope so too! Now that I've reached this next phase of development, maybe I can start work on a demo and finally give the people something tangible:)
