Overhauling the Graphics for my Indie Game

"Silk song coming out soon" 😢

what art software do you use

"Silksong" "Soon"

Your game is so good

where is the demo

Making the background you already had, actually visible helped a ton 🤣 But personally i dont like the design for the main character, dont know why exactly, but that is just me 🤗

hey goodgis sorry to say this but the bonsai beetle fight is really similar to the vigilante fight from pizza tower.

I love you Harry Goodgis Styles <3

will it be playable on Mac?

It’s weird to think about how this game was a small project

i think the graphics looked great during each iteration, but i think the atari style would make it stand out the most but unfortunately may make it harder to have good environmental details and clarity

You should make a hardcore and a demon mode. Maybe make a demonic flower for demon mode and an evil flower for hardcore mode. (If you consider the idea.) And what website did you use for the pixel art?

@Goodgis recently learn of a concept called wave function collapse ... its kinda like can be used to generate randomised infinite world with set of rules like where which block goes ..... just in case i have tried using in my pygame just simply to experiment with genrating platform game very basic one and its good

everyone in the hollow knight community be like: "Erm actally ur game has a bug in it automatic ripoff!" Bro some of these hollow knight addicts are so unbearable to metroidvania devs.

just saw this in my recommended but now I want the game so badly. Keep up the great work!

how you feeling about the cost per downloads?

Please please pls pls keep the ammo lings it not like you have a time limit

Thank you Goodgis this series has inspired me to make my own Metroid-Vania.

this is looking sooo gooooddddddd

man i need help with developing games? how can i improve my art

I loved the art style of your Capybara game, what if your main character looked similar? Just a thought!

@Goodgis please try to make a game in clic team fusion 2.5 is a realy good and very easy software to use and make games

The effects in this game are absolutely amazing! I use Godot myself and am only capable of some really bad effects :P
I also think that background brightness increase was a huge way to make it look nicer in a small period of time!

This game looks really promising, if it releases on Switch/whatever-the-heck-is-nintendos-next-system, I might buy it day 1!

Not gonna lie bro, Dewdrop Dynasty is a huge inspiration for a game I’m working on. Very excited for it to release next year!

I will buy this game the millisecond it comes out with absolutely no hesitation

i finished half of the video, finished the demo, and returned, and man i just wanna say great job with the overhaul man it's amazing to see and refreshes my eyes in such a great way

would be cool if you could speak to the save flowers

would be cool to have some buttons automatically have multiple mapping
the map for example can use the tab button and the i button alongide the m button, the tab and i thing is actually something that hollow knight uses (at least tab) which is helpful because the tab is closer to your hands while playing so it's easier to access

oh yeah right, i don't know if dewdrop already has that but would be cool if you released the demo on itch as well
it's kinda annoying to have to open steam for something that feels like it wouldn't 100% require it, idk i don't like to use it a lot and maybe some people are like me so yeah, also might get you some traction from itch so that people will go to wishlist it

idk man i don't think silksong is gonna come out soon, maybe late next year on the earliest
(man i hope it works on my pc, at least as hollow knight did, i don't want it to pull a will of the wisps on me (will of the wisps has vastly higher system requirements than and the blind forest))

rq right after i started the video
can you upload the sprite sheets of the game alongside area sprites and such when you finish the game ???
as help for the people who want to use already made sprites as a tool to remake a preexisting game for learning purposes
i started recently doing so to a childhood game of mine called "captain claw"
(it was easy to get the sprites but it wasn't that great as they werent equally spaced out but i got some help from people that are fans of the game and took like 5 days to get a version pretty much working somewhat well, this is a different topic but i wanted to say it)
and i think dewdrop might be a game i'd have fun recreating the mechanics of it too (let's ignore that ever since i got the sprites of claw somewhat working i didn't open the project but yeah xD)

looks great tbh, i will totally buy this when it releases

will the demo be updated with these new changes?

For the bonsai beetle boss fight, you should add a little warning before the TNT blows up :D It would help people anticipate how big the explosions will be

Lock the camera hands down, I can just see how insane and impossible it would be to fight Quick Man with a moving camera instead of the stage visible, woof. ... Subscribed

Your game is looking super cute man! Looking forward to playing it!

If u don’t mind me asking but will few drop be on console?

You kind of look like I imagine Macaulay Culkin would if he didn't do all those drugs.

i think the old graphics are superior, the new ones are nice and all, but the old ones look more.... aesthetically pleasing, they were reminiscent of old games for MS-DOS, which is a style that i think more people should emulate, i think the new graphics (while pretty in their own way) just looks too modern for my taste (plus T H E G L O W)

Ended up being a smart decision making this in Godot and not unity lol

The dev fund has already doubled over the past week thanks to unity. I imagine this is gonna supercharge the engine's future development.

Dude, i played the demo, and i got a lot of things to say.
-1: one of the giggest issues i had was that you couldn't dodge right after you shoot, so game doesn't feel responsive and you end up felling like you took damage for no reason.
-2 the bird enemy is really anoing to hit, since you can't shoot in every direction(wich i like) you can hardly hit the berd, so when keeps getting closer, you can't really hit him
-3 the snake rat enemy has too much presicion(at least in my opinion) só when you get hit by the venom, you get slighly knocked back, and get hit right after because moved towards you and you couldn't escape.
-4 the Last one is that i think your ammo should recharge imedeatly, Just like celeste. The parkour ends up being slowed down a lot, and its really annoing when you hit the groud, the enemy is charging at you, and you have to wait for your ammo to reload whithout being abble to do anything
Don't get me wrong, i really liked the game, but these things really hindered my enjoyment. I hope you are doing well, and i hope the game ends up being great

Is it just me or is the demo boss way too hard for the first boss of the game? This is coming from someone who has done hollow knight godhome ending

Make a battlepass

Hi Goodgis, really looking forward to play your game, i just wanna ask which tool did you use in Godot to build your map, is this the tile map system and did you have to customize it. Much appreciated.

Bro I just Vibin to blizzard blowout 64 ost and then graphics update woOOO!!

As someone trying to get into game development it's really inspiring seeing how far you've come with your own game!
