Had writer’s block on this game build for months lol. Finally built simple mechanics for the boss Carditis so it feels like a real encounter. Watching him launch dice was satisfying! Still need to optimize sprites, clean animations, and tune it, but this boss has real potential

I haven’t been great at posting updates for this build. Life has a way of getting in the way. But behind the scenes progress has been happening! Here’s a look at a concept level I’ve been working on with a casino theme. It’s starting to take shape—I’m excited to show more soon.

I experimented with some sprite layering to see if I could make this guys face a different colour than the rest of the body. Technically, it works — there aren’t any major visual glitches — but it does require adding an extra sprite on the same scanline.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Blarghe! was featured on a Furry Subreddit, and honestly? The internet remains undefeated in its ability to find a niche for everything.

How do you keep the humor when your lead is a stoic wall? Make the world around him total chaos. Panzer is taking a side seat in this build, so the bosses are bringing the funny. First up: Bowlinder. He’s got the style, the moves, and that signature goofy DNA. #Gamedev
