Experimenting with footstep sounds. I think it adds immersion to feel like the character is planted in the world.

Simple panel puzzle mechanic in the casino space. Not sure if I want a harder punish for it yet

Recently overhauled the music for the area as well. The old song was from early on, and it needed the update lol

This is the power core of Block F. The wires help add some density to the city.

#pixelart #indiedev

I started with simple animations but felt I could do better. Left is now.

Still learning and I'm sure I'll come back to it again.

#indiedev #pixelart

This bugged me for a while. MixHeart has some dense areas, so I reworked how Sona and others would be read behind objects.

Swordsman’s walking and running first pass. Starting to feel like a varied party.

#indiedev #pixelart

Working on a character's animations. Still working on his motion

#indiedev #pixelart

Updated the enemies from demo feedback to use customizable paths to add predictability to movement

Also lol I’m reworking that green scarf guy with a new design. Never really liked that one anyway and thought the battle transition with him missing sprites was funny.

#indiedev

Running around Block F. Exploration feels really smooth after reworking the collision system. Still lots of reworking I'm sure

I also just finished an early version of the city theme and love how it meshes

Some of Mixheart's dialogue portraits

Glimpse of Bankruptcy Casino’s third floor #indiedev #pixelart

Part of a cutscene I was working on. The sketch was a fun way to practice perspective. Needs shading and more work still though.

#pixelart #indiedev

Exploring Sona’s room in MixHeart. Testing a new video format for posting

#indiedev

Options aren’t a fun part of the process, but it now has some quality of life game options along with setting changes

#indiedev

One of the shops you can eventually explore in MixHeart, WIP. I wanted a mix of pop culture references and world building.

It’ll house an optional mini game

#pixelart #indiedev

Started adding rim lighting to make lights feel like they affect characters

#indiedev #indiegame

Convenience store in Block F

WIP

#indiedev #pixelart

The market is a place where different vendors in Block F gather to sell goods

#pixelart #indiedev

Exploring the Diner. Like other places in Block F I want it to be a place the player can revisit for various reasons

Making things exist first

Happy new year!

I hope to develop and show more of MixHeart this year.

Entering the park from the north entrance.

I kind of mentally picture top down kind of horizon-ish lighting, but I will make it more defined later with benches and denser shadows

#pixelart #indiedev

Been working on audio balancing and sketching my own tracks

The vinyl shop was something I did early on pixel art wise, so I think I’ll come back to it for a makeover in the future

#indiedev #indiegame

Inventory bank system in MixHeart. I haven't gone over the specifics of the UI look, but I think I got a design down. I want it to invoke old Windows vibes.

Characters have limited inventory slots, so each character can hold 10 things both equipped and unequipped.

#indiedev #indiegame

Did you know Goto has a different parry sprite if he lands it frame 1?

HYPERFIGHT 2 online playtest live until Dec. 26!

Small moment from Mixheart in the diner

#indiedev #pixelart #rpg

I made a little green booth by the park entrance. It’ll probably have a side quest related to it and maybe extra detail to better indicate its purpose

#indiedev #pixelart

Naruto for sure

Getting closer to a detail pass. Building a city is harder than it looks lol. Still working through lighting and depth
