smoog, a fire-type, used 'screech'. it reduced the enemy's defense! #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

a closer look at some of the game's GUI. here you can see the pause screen, inventory, notebook, 'dex' system, team composition, and settings menus. #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

for mozzy's up special, you can either go with "howl" to increase your attack, or "limber up" to increase your agility (speed and jump) #pixelart #monstertaming #gamedev

turn-based combat or real-time combat.. that is what I want the player to be able to choose between. this is champ, a plant-type pictid, in real-time #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

how is 'Pictids' a monster-taming game? you level up your pictids to learn new moves, then choose your movesets. normal-type orkin can learn: side 1 - club (wood) side 2 - dagger (metal) up 1 - rage (normal) (temporarily increase attack) up 2 - call to arms (metal) #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

some attacks have more range than others. see here: (1) mycelium whip (plant) ; (2) lightning kick (electric) ; (3) time out (light) #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

this pictid is a corbo, an air-type. air is effective against fire, bug, and wood, but weak to electric and ice. #gamedev #monstertaming #pixelart

this little pictid is an orkin, a normal-type. normal types aren't strong or weak to any other type, and they don't use magic for any of their moves. it's always a good idea to have one on your team! #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

check out this air-type pictid. air types are strong against fire, bug, and wood, but weak to electric and ice. these are just some of the attacks this pictid can learn! mix up its moveset with air, fire, ice, and normal-type moves for better match-ups. #pixelart #monstertaming #gamedev

this is a terra, a plant-type, and also number 1 on the pictid 'dex'. it has a number of moves that can inflict status effects - SLP, PRZ, PSN... plant-types are weak to fire, bug, ice, and dark types. but they are strong against water, earth, and light types. #pixelart #monstertaming #gamedev

another pictid here, a kwet. kwets are water-types that are strong to fire, earth, rock, and metal, but weak to plant, electric, wood, and ice. these are just some of its moves for inflicting damage or increasing its stats - perhaps even for making it rain! #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

use haru's down special to swap your neutral special from water to fire to electric to light. light types are only strong to dark and ghost, so having other elemental attacks can be useful in battle. #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

this ghost-pictid is a 'dhoul'. ghost types are strong to dark types but weak to light types. this move is 'scary face', and if an enemy is close by, they will be stunned. #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

some more level art. there will be various biomes (plains, forests, swamps, deserts, tundras, etc.), day/night cycles, and weather patterns (sunny, rainy, windy, stormy, snowy). so you will have to explore the land thoroughly to find all the pictids! #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming

a spooky-ish animation. one of champ's up-specials. it can poison an enemy if they get too close! #pixelart #gamedev #monstertaming
