@r1kgames.bsky.socialThought I’d add a Zelda 2 style ranged attack that works when you’re at full health (health bar is fake atm which is why it’s working even though I’m getting hit). #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #metroidvania #gaming
@r1kgames.bsky.socialYa it’s basically a horror game at this point lol
@r1kgames.bsky.socialImplemented an nes megaman style screen transition system along with a mini map. The map data is created on the fly when the room starts which will be convenient if I need to edit dungeon layouts
The map will function as Zelda dungeon maps
@r1kgames.bsky.socialBtw if you made it here check out my other game on Steam too: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3369150/Destiny_Spire/
@r1kgames.bsky.socialIt works with jumping on him too, it’s pretty hard to time but since there’s no knockback when you jump on enemies, if you can get him to freeze you as you’re jumping on him you will just repeatedly hit him haha
@r1kgames.bsky.socialMade the final castlevania sub weapon inspired enemy, stop watch skeleton. Unlike the other ones, he tries to get close to you since his range is short. Fun fact, he can still collide with your weapon if you freeze during the attack animation #indiegame #gaming #pixelart #gamedev #8bit
@r1kgames.bsky.socialIt doesn’t want it to come back and smack him in the back of the head lol
@r1kgames.bsky.socialDidn’t get a lot done tonight but I made the boomerang skeleton. He’ll only throw 1 at a time and always face towards the boomerang, so if you quickly jump behind him after he throws it you can get some easy hits in.

@r1kgames.bsky.socialI added the holy water, errr, acid jar version of the skeleton enemy. His attack is trickier to jump over so your best bet for fighting him is probably to keep jumping over him as he’s getting ready to attack #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #pixelart
@r1kgames.bsky.socialYa otherwise they’re really easy to knock into a corner and just keep hitting them. Tbf that strategy still works pretty well but atleast they try to do something about it now lol
@r1kgames.bsky.socialHmm probably not for a while, right now this test screen and a small world map test screen is all that exists. Once I have all the main mechanics programmed in I wanna put a little test zone on itch though.
@r1kgames.bsky.socialThank you!
@r1kgames.bsky.socialActually it’s pink!
@r1kgames.bsky.socialMade these guys behavior a bit more aggressive, now theyll try to run past you if you trap them in a corner and will also throw a weapon to try to get you to jump so they can run under you. Also added the axe variant, kind of tricky to fight together #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #8bit
@r1kgames.bsky.socialThanks!
@r1kgames.bsky.socialAlmost done with the dagger skeleton enemy. Once that’s done adding the versions that use different weapons should be pretty easy. Here’s a clip of me fighting them really badly lol
#indiegame #pixelart #8bit #indiedev #gamedev
@r1kgames.bsky.socialThe behavior is sort of based on the axe armors from Castlevania 1, the way they always back away from you, but with Pixa’s greater movement ability they won’t be as big of a pain as those axe armors were haha
@r1kgames.bsky.socialStarted programming the dagger throwing skeleton enemy into the game. There’s no hit detection between the player and enemy yet, but the idea is that he walks back and forth until youre in range, then he backs away from you throwing daggers #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
@r1kgames.bsky.socialAdded weapon throwing animation and a sprite for when he’s defeated. #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #8bit
