thanks! yeah i imagine it'd be really cool once i make proper assets for like the stage and the enemies and all hopefully sooner rather than later but alas

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

also this is how the boss is supposed to look without the placeholders

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

went back to programming some stuff, i thought the boss intro looked cool already but still obviously a heavy wip i'll show more gameplay when i have some more nice things to show #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

also if you're wondering where is that one black haired guy that was in one of the mockups (his name is roy btw) i'm still working on his mechanics, he has a lot going on compared to the rest so i'll show that off when i have something (2/4)

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

i started working on some character specific mechanics for my game! i still have a very long way to go so i'm pacing myself! some of these may look familiar if you played their rivals of aether versions... (1/4) #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

the further something is the slower it should move, the random not-buildings rectangles do look a lot closer than i made the parallax imply so that makes sense on why it looks off

000

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

thank you! and yeah i see what you mean actually, it doesn't look as noticeable looking at it again, i was afraid of overshooting the value and making the parallax feel a bit too intense it's good feedback so i'll keep that in mind!

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

thanks! i don't actually plan on using stick figures for this but i can def see what you mean

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

i have made some more progress now, i have the ability to beat up enemies (they don't do anything yet), as well as background parallax and all that nice stuff! #GameMaker #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

In the process of redesigning Lillian, an OC I've had since high school 🧚 🗡️ #art #wip #myOCs #fairy #fantasyArt

Two renditions of Lillian between 2021 and 2025, featuring her classic green tunic and light use of plate mail. She's gotten taller and more expressive since the last version.

Comparison of my sketch to a draw over by @nexil. They suggested increasing the leaf/petal imagery across her look, including ornaments and a hat.
I really liked their suggestion of switching the metallic armor with a gambeson for a sleeker look.

Bar-Kun @barkun.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

i didn't have a lot of time to do animations not for animation versus, so in the time i had i tried to make a little mock-up/style practice to develop further, for something i can hopefully show more of soon enough! #pixelart #OC #aseprite
