Two concept sketches for a character who will help you defeat one of our boss encounters in Dracs After Dusk. 🧛‍♂️🤠Which concept do you like more? #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #DracsAfterDusk

The latest hand-drawn concept sketch to game ready pixel art asset created by Andy. This will be one of the projectiles you'll have to nimbly avoid in the next boss encounter. #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #DracsAfterDusk

Our artist, Andy, has been working on some characters for our next boss encounter. Here is an example of how he goes from a hand drawn sketch to a pixel art version of the scarecrow. Any guesses to what literary classic the next boss is based on? #IndieDev #IndieGame #GameDev #DracsAfterDusk

Reworking the "Retry" button in Dracs After Dusk 🧛‍♂️ For the simpler game jam version we were using the built in Godot function reload_current_scene() but as the game grew in complexity, we wanted more control over resetting the data.

In response to some play tester feedback, Lead Artist Andy created a crawling animation for the vampires so players can tell when an enemy is one hit from death. What do you think? I personally am having a harder time killing vamps because they look so helpless crawling 😢 #IndieGameDev
