Some recent changes behind the scenes!

Esper Girls (demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Hello! Sorry I haven't updated this project in a while, I've been working on some changes and new features and I want to revamp a LOT about this project before uploading the next demo! Some of the changes will make the game a tiny bit harder, but I feel that extra difficulty is a necessary change. Some of the changes I've been experimenting with:

  • Natsuko's sword combo's damage now scales with each successive slice; with the first dealing the least damage and the third dealing the most
  • Shield hitboxes are now half the size, making them easier to keep!
  • Some ESP abilities from bosses not in the game yet have been rebalanced and reworked, like the rising dragon having invincibility frames, and the bullet strike being able to one-shot large enemies like the walker in Volcanic Peak or the t-rex enemies in Jurassic Jungle. The soul slasher also unfortunately got a nerf cause it was WAY too good lmao
  • Jump height has been slightly reduced and the level design was modified to accommodate for this change. Personally I really like this change cause it made the platforming feel a lot more engaging for such a relatively small change.

Another thing too, there is a second playable character planned!

I've been wanting to redraw that old promo pic for a while cause I feel my art has improved a ton since then, plus this better represents what I have in store for this project as it develops with time. Anyways I hope you'll all keep following this project, and I hope that I can get a way better demo out in the future!
