That's the killer rabbit of Caerbannog!

My talents are in programming and game design. I've dabbled in pixel art, I can do basic stuff but not detailed characters like this soldier you made xD. 

Perhaps we should add each other on Discord? 👀 I'm TheProgrammer163 on there as well

By the way this is very impressive if you're fairly new to making game art. Characters are much harder to do than environments (in my opinion at least). I assume you have a general art background? 

Congrats on finding what you like to do in this domain :)

They can all be centered in their respective boxes (maybe the exception of crouching legs,  they'd need to be a bit higher to align with the torsos. (But I'd still call it centered)) 

The difference is that it's just one coordonate offset to program, so it's very easy to do

I ramble a lot so I had to rewrite this comment three times lmao.

You're welcome! :) Apologies if I mention things you already know btw, I don't know what you know :p

If I get to pick I'd say square, but sometimes rectangles just make more sense. I'm using 32x32 squares for most sprites right now (both legs and upper body) and 64x64 for the firing torso sprites, just because the muzzle flash takes some extra space

It's really up to you though. I could share how I've set it up so far if you'd like to see how I'm setting things up?👀

:)

By the way 32x32 is just an example, it could be 48x48, 64x64, whatever works for the dimensions of your sprites. Most modern game engines automatically cut out empty space anyway. It doesn't even have to be a power of 2, it could be 46x73 and it would work on most modern software. Nowadays using powers of 2 is more of a tradition

These are really nice sprites but one criticism is that they aren't in a .png, ready to be imported format with each image being in a multiple of say, 32, to easily split them up once importing them. So I have to open them and move them around to make them fit

Otherwise very nice

...but why male model? (I hope you get the reference xD). Looks nice, I'll bookmark it for if I need it someday

Barely any game exists in the reverse-horror or you-are-the-monster genre. I hope you make more, or you turn this one into a full game

It sounds like you're very harsh on yourself, I LOVED the game. The only issue I had was that somehow a key has been missing for me on Xbox in the Forgotten Gravesite. (I made a thread on it in Steam dscussions on 9 February 2024)

It's okay to be critical as you make a game, it's what allows you to improve on different aspects of the game, but once it's released you should look at it as a whole - it's bigger than the sum of its parts. No one plays a game for just X or just Y aspect of it. It's like a pizza: it's not about each individual ingredient, it's about all the ingredients together

Could I theoretically use this font for the GameMaker Studio 2 IDE?

Does it have all French characters like éèëêîï and Spanish characters like ñíóú?

I believe the answer is yes, and if so, I think I found myself THE BEST FONT EVER

Veey nice and clean, I might use this for my level editor :)

This is great! Very few games have been made with shape-shifting or possession

Bought the premium because it looks so cute :D

What color palette did you use by the way?

Played it on Xbox, great game :D

Beautiful <3

I love all the anti-capitalism commentary in the Github repo xD (sincerely). Personally I think IP rights should exist, but the time limit should be much shorter.  It's ridiculous that it took this long for Steamboat Willie to become public

And software patents are a whole other can of worms

Anyway! I think I'll try this on my Steam Deck. Sounds like the type of game I might like

That would be awesome!

Nice!!!

We'll see

This one seems as beautiful as your other assets!

Stunningly beautiful. I don't think I have a need for it (at the moment at least) but it looks amazing. What color palette did you use by the way?

Hi! I was wondering what happened with this game but I couldn't remember the game, did you move on to other projects or is this one still in the back of your mind? Also, how have you been?

It's ok :)

Can't wait for the next pack and the updates!

Hello! Any updates?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY COW. This is the scariest thing I might have ever seen. Hunting of hill house might be the only scarier thing I've seen

Is the android app version of the game included in the .rar file? (I'd like to start buycutting the Play Store)

You're welcome! And thank _you_ for releasing such a beautiful asset pack! And still updating it 2 years later :D Have a nice day

Thanks! Actually I've been modifying them using TileSetter to do autotiling in GameMaker Studio 2. It works very well so far

EDIT: the skeleton and the zombie have part of their legs cut off in the animations. I can fix it on my own but I thought I'd let you know

Edit2: the goblin as well. The three of them have that issue with both the walking and the idle animation

Quick question; are the grass/dirt/ground tiles meant to be 16x16 tiles or are they actually meant to be used as 8x8 tiles?

Any updates on this game? (I'm the one who provided the reference pics to the alpaca plush :D)

Hey I have a little question - I don't know if this is the difference in GMS2.3 versions, I'm with the latest version as of today (December 18). There seems to be a distortion when we get very close to a wall or look at the floor, here's two pictures about it:

https://i.imgur.com/0aAL3cr.png

Know that I'm not expecting you to update this quickly or even at all, and if I fix it I'll let you know how I did it - however the problem is an easy fix please let me know :p

EDIT: You answered me on the Discord channel, I'm leaving the solution here for others: 

Nice! Thanks for the info. And you're very welcome!

Hey so just letting you know you should add more tags to this, I was searching for something like it (directly from the itch.io search function) and didn't find this until I searched for "gms 3d".

gms2 3d, gamemaker 3d both didn't work and I may have tried some others. I recommend you add "gms2 3d" and "gamemaker 3d" as tags to the tags you already have. Maybe "gamemaker studio" without the hyphen as well.

....

I bought it for 5.60 USD because I thought this was probably worth more than 3.60 :)

Also, would you recommend I wait for the next update that you've mentioned before I start using it?

An NPC told me to pass this quest onto you: Finish this game. Will you accept this quest, adventurer?
...
By the way I'm SamSibbens, you left smiley faces as comments on two of my videos :D

I upgraded to Beta 2.0 and it's completely worth it - you can stick to the original Gameboy color palette if you want or you can "paint a palette" over tiles to change their colors. A lot of things work better too. I also made an "image splitter", I can feed it a giant image and it will split it into all the backgrounds required for my game, and named properly like overworld-y3-x7

I didn't even know about GB Studio, I came to your pixel tutorials and saw GB Studio tutorials as a playlist, that's how I found out about it. So thanks!

I decided to make a playthrough video of the game! I was making videos today, so it's just a coincidence - I was in the mood. Here's the link: 

Hi! Just wondering if you're having thoughts about working on this game again, it'd be great if you did :D

No pressure, just a suggestion. I hope you're doing well by the way. I actually bought a real life bow and arrow recently with an archery target and I've been practicing in my bedroom (I can't train for precision so I'm instead practicing my loading and shooting speed)

To be honest if you don't plan on continuing it I may make my own (I say that, but I already have a million project ideas already)

Anyway, again I hope you're doing well. See ya!

I bought the UWP version for Xbox, and I honestly enjoy it. The graphics could be much better as others have said (too much green).

I wish we weren't automatically brought to the next room when walking over a staircase tile, I missed some items because of it.

I love the night mode!

Initially I thought the game was too hard, but enemis get 1 turn while you get 2. So if you let them approach you (by walking towards a wall) this allows you to hit them first, then step back. Wait, hit them, step back. This makes it possible to survive without it being too easy, except on hard mode. Hard mode has bigger levels and therefore bigger corridors, while night mode and normal mode have smaller levels and therefore shorter corridors. In those cases the game becomes about positioning, which is pretty fun. On night mode it's even a little scary.

I lose my patience when I try playing other roguelikes because they are too complex. This one may be too simple, and it lacks polishing, but I'm having hell of a fun time playing it.

I don't know if you still make games, but maybe you should continue. I don't regret buying it.

Again no offense meant, but have you asked a lawyer?

This is really well done. I'm surprised you could make it play that well at just 64x64 resolution, I would have thought that having a view that small would cause problems but it seems not. It feels very polished too

Only thing I'd change is the sword animation, making it snappy (instantly reach the end of the sword slash, with a motion blur from start to finish on that frame)

It's beautiful and plays well, I love it
