Hello jammers, I am Elion Sylwin and I am from Czech Republic so please forgive my mistakes in English. I am solo making short 2D Pixel Art RPG called Knights of Abyss based on a story I made a long time ago. I am a beginner C# programmer and I just wanna say, good luck to everyone and I can't wait to play your games. 

Originally this was supposed to be a Third Person 3D game, but sadly due to errors in scripts I didn't know how to fix, I decided to make it into 2D game.

About the game:

Knights of abyss is about a peson, who wakes up in an ancient tomb, where he meets a group of scouts which set up a camp there. They intruduce themself, the world called abyss and the centuries longing war between monsters from abyss and the last members of knights of abyss. Soon after they are interupted by loud sounds from the outside and you, together with the scouts must return to the Sanctuary, last city of light as well as last line of defence from the abyss. And so, your adventures begins.

DAY 1 UPDATE:

Today I focused more on the art style of the game as I wanted to have a testing room that at least looks a little bit alright.

Programming:

I wrote character movement system that moves the character based on input as well as turns him to the direction he is supposed to move. I also implemented the animation controller into it. Next system to be implemented is combat system.

Pixel Art:

As mentioned before, today was more focused on pixel art and I managed to make two kinds of brick sprites (light for walls, darker for background) as well as a target dummy sprite. I am currently working on the edges of walls.

(Player character is a placeholder, downloaded from unity asset store)

DAY 2 UPDATE:

Today I focused more on the script side of the game and experimented with some 2D lights.

Programming:

Today I rewrote the character movement system so it contains all core movement without glitches, the camera system is done and I have started writing the combat system. Also made a script so the light from lantern randomly flicks, just for effect

Pixel Art:

Today I made two sprites, a greatsword, which is broken into multiple pieces (in the picture in one piece), and lantern. 

DAY 3 UPDATE:

Today I focused purely on the programming side.

Programming:

I started writing the combat system for my game and it proven to be more difficult for me than I anticipated so I spent the whole day on it. Tommorow I wanna finish the combat system as there are more core elements that needs to be there and If possible I wanna start writing the basic enemy AI script.

(When I had a break, I remodeled the testing are and experimented more with the 2D lights)

Day 6 update:

It has been quite a while since I made a last update, there were few changes so let's get to them.

Internal changes

So the biggest changes from the beginning. When I started, I wanted to make this game solo, test my limits and learn from it, but then I decided to make a team. So without further ado, let me introduce you to Death by Boredom, the story writer of our team and Byroniko, the sound composer. So from now on it's us three working on this game.

Programming changes

For the past three days I have been learning about AI and how to implement it into the game. I am still not good in it, but the important part is that it is in the game and the enemies have basic AI. At the current moment it is not yet in presentable state though.

Pixel Art changes

Because my pixel art skills are not on the level are not on a level where I would feel they are usable in the game. For that reason I have made the decision to use assets. I understand that it won't be as origininal as if I or somebody from my team made them, but I decided for it with the knowledge that the game will look better this way.

(This is the beginning of the level at the current moment.)

Final Update

So we have gotten to the last day, the end of this two-week journey. I must say, I wasn't sure I would actually make it here but here I am with a submitted game. Honestly, I have no idea what to say, so I will keep it short.

This journey was amazing, I talked with many amazing people, learned a lot and most of all enjoyed every single bit of it. First of all, I have to thank everyone in my team for joining me. I must thank everyone who followed my devlog (even though I didn't post much, whoops :D) and most of all I must thank you, my dear reader, for even visiting my devlog. I hope you will try my game and enjoy it.

And that's practically all I have in mind right now, as I said, I have no idea what to say :D So bye everyone and hopefully see you next jam.

Elion Sylwin

nice!
