I have completed mapping level 1 the forest and finish testing it and most of it looks good to me. Which took some time because it's the first level and I wanted to decide how easy should I make it. Scripts and all are going good. We might have some concept art too show soon which an artist might post. Now I shall reveal the plot line to this game...

Plot: The evil food monsters have taken over Mt, Olympus from the Gods. You (Apollo) must stop them and take back what was the Gods!

Edit: Added check points for level 1. The first track has been done. It is the level 1 theme.

Thanks, that is all for now.

Hello I'm doing pixelart for this! I made a whole bunch of tiles for the first area which is a forest.

If anyone out there needs help making pixel trees this process gif is super helpful and what I used to remind myself how to shade trees. https://twitter.com/Bandygrass/status/645259758115491841

Well today we made some good progress. We have level 2 done. I have tested everything and all the collisions and stuff are looking great. Fluffy has made a awesome tileset which looks really awesome. Apollo concept art is done. So we can get the sprite done as well. The reason I haven't been able to get any screen shots is cause we need the apollo sprite. So progress is fine.Screenshots will probably be shown tomorrow when I get the next dev log up.

Edit: I also added a intro scene into the game.

Here are some screen shots from the game it self. Overall today all we did was add the player sprite. But tomorrow is going to be more productive now that we have this done.

whoa those concepts and sprites are looking really nice!

i know it might be late to change it, but i wanted to add a suggestion for the tiles. the detail + contrast in the water and ground tiles is a bit high and it's very overwhelming to look at all at once on the screen (almost overpowering the character/taking some time for you to notice them). maybe making the contrast more gentle would help?

I finished working on the 3rd level. All the music and sprites and concept art is coming along nicely which is cool.

Speaking of me, here I am. First let me show you Apollo's first enemy enjoying a nice walk with him.

Also here is a peek at the third level.

I think this will be the last bit of art I show in here, because it will be more fun to see stuff in the game for the first time.

I made some progress today. Tiles are looking good. Live battle system and stuff is almost done. Got 1 week to spare almost.

I finished level 4 and attack animations are done. So some more enemies boss battle tileset and stuff are still left and a few events. So we might be done a little early :D Who knows.

Oh and here is a new screen shot :D
