Got the rest of the sprites done (not counting enemy sprites for the battle sequences, anyway) and tried to do some shading on Melvin and Adrian. They look...better? I guess?
All i know is, I’m going to have to do some serious rehauling for the full release. Seriously, look at it. Looks like a twelve year old did the art, not a thirty year old (no offense to any twelve year olds who may happen upon this thread). I try to keep telling myself, “well no, its okay, you’re out of practice, you got slammed down a lot when you WERE practicing, lots of indie games have nonconventional artstyles that don’t detract from the story, it’s fine,” but I also keep telling myself “why the heck are you so bad at art, what is wrong with you.” I mean, a lot of that is me repeating the voices of the past, but still.
Anyway, this will work for Devtober. If I spend too much time obsessing over the art, then I won’t get this demo done.
