I just learn better when I watch people work 😅 not necessarily for an interview (although that wouldn't be a bad idea). You're very good with colors, posing shape theory and physics animation. I just want to "SEE" your techniques and how you go about it. It's just one way I can get an understanding of your artstyle and direction when making animations and sprites.

Also thanks for the tip on quickposes.com I'll look into it definitely ❤️. Also if you don't mind me asking is there a way I could contact you, Discord, WhatsApp, Twitter? Just some place I could reach out without having to wait in business days 🫠.

You just keep getting better, wish I could have a session with you so I could get some insight on how you draw.

Not for free of course, your time is important after all.

Yes I did.

WOW in just 37 hours???
This is really impressive, well done.

It seems Kayn and Akali had a child 😂.
Good work on this, I can't really think of ways to use the attacks of his transformed form but his base form is perfect!

Thanks ❤️

Yes you can.

DLS?

Hey Luiz, love your work. Just wanted to ask if it's okay to take the design of this character and change him up a bit. Don't worry I'm in no way planning of reselling him I just want to edit, so he can fit my project 😀.

Thanks 😅, I'm kinna working towards that.

So basically, none of your work is original 🤔? You just take already existing assets, shrink them down and the recolour.

Unless of course I'm wrong and you took inspiration from certain creators 🤷.

I might borrow the design 😅, mine would be male tho.

Love the graphics, which asset did you use to make the background. Or was this self made?

Okay this game is actually VERY creative. The artstyle was nice the music was catchy and the assistant was easy to connect with. I really love how the idea of making "Starting The Game" into "The Theme". Good work on this :D 💖.

Thanks man 😄 and YES it WAS inspired by LF2.

NICE

Love the art style 💖

Love the art and music💖

OH NICE. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. Awesome work as always.

So how do I download this?

Now THIS is a proper game project. Props to you honestly. And they were made mostly with free assets +respect.

Thanks, really looking forward to the shadow and light ❤️.

Hey Chierit,

I recreated some of character portraits to fit the art style of my other characters. The original art was awkward to look at when comparing both yours and mine side-by-side 😅. 

Not to mention it felt a bit weird as how the "Water Priestess" looked a bit too young in comparison to the other characters. Hope this is fine.

And Speaking of characters, when are the remaining Elementals going to be released? Not to put pressure on you, knowing you also have other things to do besides this, I just want to know if you're still working on this amazing project.

Hey man, love your assets. I think this is the second time I'm complimenting you. 

Art Style

I'm working on a beat 'em all type fighting game, not sure if this is what you expected 😅 but I wanted to ask if your art style looks good on 2.5D Games like this:

The first time I tried to implement Kathrine's (Blade Girl) sp-atk VFX I wasn't sure if it looked good or out of place, but at some point, I got over it 🤷 so I just wanted to ask..

Sprite Scaling

Also, concerning future updates can you please separate the VFX for the character's sp-attack just like you did for Eric (leaf-ranger)? It made things a lot easier, than having to deal with such large-scale images for a small spawn object 🙏.

So far Eric has been the most comfortable to work with as I had issues spawning Kathrine's (Blade Girl) sp-attack VFX in the game, not to mention Monk's earth VFX 😩.

If doing this will affect your work then it's fine I can always work my way around it 🙂....🥲. 

Again, keep up the good work man your work is amazing.

Graphics looks good, heck its exceptional, plus the UI was well done. Loved the intro as well it felt immersive. Story telling is also done properly here, its not complicated and its easy to follow.

Possible Improvements

1. COMBAT

The attacks feel buggy and rigid. Every time I make a swing I'm still able to move around while still playing the attack animation. 

The hitboxes of both the player and enemies are too big, I constantly find myself taking damage from an enemy's swing when I'm way off the it's attack range (judging by its sprite animation).

2. Free-Roam

Combat feels forced as I cannot pass an enemy without taking at least damage from it. It's a good idea to have to player fight enemies but the combat itself is not immersive. 

Allowing the player to choose when and when not to fight makes them feel more of in control and not have to worry about completing a phase all over again just because the story prompts it.

3. Enemy AI

The AI for enemies feels weird, one moment they are attacking you and the next they go back to patrolling. Also they don't seem to have fall physics as an enemy didn't fall into the deadly spikes even after I pushed it off.

Conclusion

The game has a lot of potential with it's visually pleasing graphics and lets not forget its beautiful audio, but what matters the most in a video game is the "Gameplay" 'cause that's going to be 80% of the entire game.

My only headache so far is the "Combat" 😣, I've not been able to get past the level after his uncle died to the Deathbringer. Good work on this, hope to see more.

Seriously your work is commendable. I just can't get enough of the "smooth as butter" animations. I plan to use this for one of my projects as it fits almost perfectly. 

Also by any chance do you make BGs for each character or BGS that stand on their own?

Love the Halloween update and I also love how you've given the enemies so much personality. Keep it up.

This is nice. I'm thinking of making cooking game and this could be useful.

Very interesting. It's giving me old-school Phonekey Age of Empires. Love the aesthetic. 

Hey man, I love your style. So far this is what I've been able to make with this asset.

Literally found the perfect asset for a tutorial on Godot thanks.

So I've been working on a 2D top down RTS video game made with Unity. I've implemented some basic mechanics concerning: Mass Unit Selection, Unit Formation, Game Design, my first Scene and Environment, at least playable 6 characters, 4 unique resource, and a building system. 

Tiny Swords is a casual RTS game inspired by Age of Empires IV. This so far is a demo update and more mechanics will be implemented.

Loved the DEMO, kept smiling all through while I was playing, it really brought back the nostalgia.
My Chef's Kiss to this game is the fluent animations into the game play chopping the top and bottom sprites into one character for a seamless aiming and moving.

Also I loved the art style, I just have to give the animators credit because this kind of art style is usually difficult to animate and they killed it with the emotions they gave the characters.

Overall Awesome game, can't wait for updates.

I'm sorry but this cannot be $5 I'll give it at least $35-45. This is an amazing work. 

I pretty much liked the music, really satisfying, I don't get the concept tho or maybe I thought it was too basic but all-in-all good work.

Nah man, Nah man, Nah man.

This game is freaking epic. Wish it had some sounds tho. It has a lot of potential to be much better, trust me when I say this CAN be so much better. Loved the animations flowing in with the VFX and the camera shake. Well done deserves more ratings.

Thanks, I actually started two days after the Jam launched, and I put a LOT of work into this, like "All Nighters" kinna work. I'm working on a prequal with all the feedbacks I've gotten from everyone so far, and it will be available to play after the Jam.
