more Leap things! clickity click for a bigger pic
These are The Teachers; Listen, Speed, Strength, Vision and Fall (main character here). Long waffling explanation of what the actual abilities are and encompass may appear soon but heck I’ve taken up enough of your dash already and I’m tired. Go me \o/
more Leap doodles for you (alas, no time or strength to colour today)
one thing that I haven’t really seen in games is a real reward for following a tutorial if you take the option of following one; I’d quite like to see a system where the game play is intuitive and inviting enough that you can figure out most of your abilities/how to navigate the world by yourself, but if you want to you can seek out The Teachers for Lessons.
Lessons are not compulsory, but if you complete them you gain a boost in the ability that you have studied. Lessons can be difficult, however, and have to be followed in their entirety to gain the most benefit. Knowledge is also accumulative, so if you complete two compatible Lessons your character would be intelligent enough to combine them and gain a new ability from their own creativity.
Also hey leaf gliders to ride air currents to higher places (because everyone loves sedate drifty flying games right).
still chugging away at designing borders and buttons for the website, wish I had more time to spend on it but I have to keep doing the comic and work on top as well! still, fun times
‘about damned time you made a new print’ the masses cry
so yes NEW THING ON MY SOCIETY6 which you can buy as objects
also there are other things by me if you want more things to look at that are by me
sorry I’m still completely beat from the loooong weekend (of super fun times) so I don’t have the energy to scan and upload doodles I did then, but since I finished this very short story ages ago and I’ll be able to put it up on the website once it’s done I suppose I can give you the first two pages of Fox Song, which is a thing I did last year? wow it sure was last year huh
it’s not brilliant but it is a finished thing and all finished things deserve to be treated kindly so I’ll do my best not to be mean to it and hide away it in a box where nobody can see it
I love jumping/flying dreams and man, would it ever be sweet to make a game that replicated that feeling
I think this game would be all about the loose-limbed springing effortlessly around and off high places, maybe having an adventure with a mission so you actually have a purpose but mostly just having a massive quiet world to zwoop around and be chill in
also shadow folk
I love shadow folk
mysterious and 2spooky sorcery-types in my fairy tale? why wouldn’t there be?
also for those asking I’m probably going to begin posting this story when the website is completed- as I can’t really see the point in starting posting it on smackjeeves or the like with that in the works- and as I don’t actually know when that’ll happen I can’t actually say when you’ll get to see it BUT it means I have the chance to work up a bit of a buffer so I might be able to post two pages at a time or something nice like that
so yes as always sorry and thanks for your patience!
imitating old-school lineart is the shit man I love this game
also heraldry is super cool
yeeeeah
I’m kind of kicking myself because the top one was the version I made originally but the second is when I started dicking about with the levels and I kind of like it more?
but it might be too aggressive a colour scheme for general daytime scenes
aaAGHHGUUUAhghindecision
