Finally got a decent animation for the sea waves! Also, what is that thing on the beach...? @gamedev @indiegame @megamanlegends @adamantheart

More cutscene work! #steamgames #indiegame #megaman #adamantheart

When your protag is low key a menace and your party knows it. (Working on cutscenes) #gamedev #indiegame #megaman #adamantheart

What makes a boss more exciting? #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

The extended playtest is near! Polishing minor details for the first 45mins or so. After, I'd like to get a final demo with at least 1.5h of gameplay, and throw in a second dungeon besides the tutorial. This one will be on Steam, make sure to wishlist! #adamantheart

If you think you can hide from Adamantoids... think again. #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart

Polishing all the UI for the workshop. Sound makes all the difference. #gamedev #steamgame #megamanlegends #adamatheart

New mechanic: detector (bottom right)! It will signal nearby chests and help you keep track of areas with leftover collectables. Bonus points if you can guess what it pays homage to :) #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart

Testing giant boss gameplay! #ScreenshotSunday #AdamantHeart #megaman

Just Loy, your companion in the game. Based off what a more involved spotter from #megamanlegends would look. 670 tris. #lowpoly #adamantheart

It's Godot, so it's an Environment node with the cube as a child. Then the node has logic to always be positioned on the player, and the sky is like 300m away on all directions. Also rotates to simulate clouds moving. Didn't use the built-in panorama because the image scaling was too finicky:

After much thinking: added sprinting and a stamina bar (not final design)! Just running around was not engaging enough. Also some comments below 🔽 #gamedev #steamgames #megaman #adamantheart

What you see vs. what I see. Tons of work going into game progression and deciding where each item is. #gamedev #indiegame #metroidvania

Adding more variety to ruins. Each one has its own purpose and theme, it's up to you to discover all its secrets. #gamedev #indiegame #megaman #adamantheart

The plot moves forward! #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

Found something underground. #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart #megaman

Just found some old footage. Still a long way to go! #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart

You can't turn a box into a creepy enemy! The box (sound on): #indiegame #gamedev #megamanlegends #adamantheart

New areas to make the world feel bigger. Still in progress through. #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart #steamgame

I've started posting shorts to Youtube! Also testing short video resolution here. #gamedev #indiegame #megaman #adamantheart

New weapon! The splash mines in MML were cool, but these are more practical. Also, these are the first back-mounted weapon! You can have three at once. #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

One last skill in the moveset: Jet Dashing. Used more for travel rather than combat, and maybe some racing. Added braking and accelerating, but make sure you don't crash! #gamedev #indiegame #megaman #adamantheart

New mechanic: slow walking and divebombing! The moveset looks much more complete now, especially since you can chain slides into jumps, glides, and then slams. Also, the expressions. #indiegame #gamedev #megamanlegends #adamantheart

Making all the NPC archetypes! We got big guys, thin guys, old guys, girl guys, blue guys, green guys... #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart #megaman

A tour of the main city hub! Added more buildings and better layout, and you can now explore terraces and roofs to find all kinds of secret stuff. Also composed some actual music! #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

How about a trip to the beach? #gamedev #indiegame #megaman #adamantheart

Improving maps and exploration so that there are a lot of puzzles and treasures hidden in plain sight. You playtesters will notice that the map is now completely different :) #gamedev #indiegame #adamantheart #megaman

Amazed by the amount of feedback I've gotten after the first release! Already made some improvements to make combat more fun. #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart

A first playtest might be coming soon! If you want to participate in this Megaman Legends-inspired project, be sure to join the Discord! I'm also sharing game lore and tons of details in there. discord.gg/S8qy5Tnru #gamedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #adamantheart
