All of Snap Episode 2's levels are at least a "polished draft" stage now, and the final boss is almost at it's first rough draft. #gamedev #uzdoom www.patreon.com/posts/e2m9-d...

I missed our December deadline, but the first Patreon-exclusive build for Snap the Sentinel is out for the $3-a-month tier! Features the first 5 levels of Episode 2's Normal mode fully playable but janky. #gamedev #indie #gzdoom

- Seal Man - A seal from the ocean, who is now roaming the surface world. People just think he's a weird greasy dog. He's scared of everything, but he wants to be a super hero and help people. After a rocky start, he befriends Fetch & Scruffie. He doesn't have any abilities... he's just real strong!

An image depicting "Seal Man", a bipedal chubby but muscular seal wearing a cyan super hero suit. Several doodles surround him, from left-to-right:
- Sneezing
- Surprised, and saying "uh oh....."
- Grinning, and a thumbs up
- Doing a cannonball... onto a badly located Captain Fetch. Princess Scruffie is judging in the distance, and gives a 10.
- Lifting a large piece of debris over his head, looking intense and sweating
- Frightened and running away from a single bee

A different style test I did a bit ago -- less focus on connected lines, and more realistic proportions. I like the cutesy style that I'm doing for Captain Fetch already, so I won't change the game's art-style, but I might draw like this for fun from now on

- Captain Fetch - Grew up as an orphan, turned to piracy at a young age to make ends meet. Over time, he works up to being a notorious captain. He sees his crew as his found family. Is a trickster, especially loves to screw with authority. By accident, he gains the ability to summon the Anchorwhip.

- Nervous
- Using the Anchorwhip to hang from a hook
- Playing poker, with a smug face and many chips

- Princess Scruffie - Very shy, but she starts to open up after meeting Captain Fetch. Her father, King, left very suddenly 1 year ago, and she is trying to find him. Her mother passed away, but she holds onto her blue gem to remember her. She can conjure a magic brush, which can do lots of stuff.

- Disgusted
- Dumb-founded
- Gleeful
- Running & holding her dress up, while the brush draws speed lines around her
- Collapsed on the ground
- Swinging the brush with a clear mind

Some levels for Captain Fetch. I stopped making it cuz I second-guessed if the story I wanted to tell was any good. But I re-read my doc recently with fresh eyes and I think I do have good stuff there, I wanna work on it again sooner now... (First is in-game, rest are mock-ups.) #pixelart #gamedev

Captain Fetch standing on a broken half-submerged bridge in Washup Ruins, made up of purple bricks and cyan concrete. A swing hook is near the top to the right, with gold underneath it. Rock formations, arches, and waterfalls can be seen in the distance.

Princess Scruffie standing in the middle of Eerie Grove. On a platform to the right has Seal Man standing idle, and to the left of Scruffie are a couple of graves. The terrain has thick green grass, with dark bushes in the back, and the rocks fade from green to dark purple. A forest is visible in the background, and the bottom is covered with fog.

Captain Fetch standing in the outdoor areas of Neo Tower. The ground is made up of metallic tiles and girders with lights on them. It is sunset, with a sun in the sky. Several blue brick towers in the background are peeking out of layers of clouds.
