Topic: SotN+others inspired cyberpunk game

[notkev]

So, I've been working on a game the past months or so. I registered here cause I was a couple years ago and talked in #cv for a little while. I recently decided to get back into gamedev and am working on an a little action game inspired game-wise by Castlevania, Zillion, Metroid, and stuff like that. The story and levels will eventually be inspired by Blade Runner, Cowboy Bebop, and things of that nature. I know this community has some great artists and was wondering if anyone would like to do art? Mine is pretty basic and just redrawn sprites from other games at the moment. I also wanted to kinda showcase the work here as well since it's going to be "Metroidvania" as they say similar to SotN. Here's some screenshots and also a link to some more if you're interested. They're all just me messing around in my debug level. Any criticism or feedback is super welcome as it's just me working on it for fun right now.



Shooting the blaster.



Checking out the inventory.



Damage counters upon damage and damage dealt.

Since you mentioned it I can actually see the Blade Runner aspect. And not just because you have the main character wearing a brown trench coat...well, yes because of that

Been working on the first level a little bit.

A lil more art.

A lil more art.

Put in as much as you think might spruce it up good. I'd also recommend some wall consoles, power boxes and some electric cable and water pipes as well. You should also have some parts of your map to show what's beyond the walls of the stage as well. Just to help with the environment factor a bit.

I added some more levels and background items. Today I was sent a snippet of some music for the game and joined Twitter finally.
