Day 12, there are no designs today because I'm focusing on uploading the game's prototype and art. Don't worry, the art is only for the player, the weapon, and the gems ;)

Here's the art design for the original and redesign, this time is in png.

There's a lot of differences between the original I made before this project and the redesign.

1. The art is super simplistic and small in the original, so no outline for the original.

2. Green gems originally be timed and stop for few seconds if activated by attacking left click.

3. The Blue ones originally is shooting blue bullets for the puzzle and a special tile reflects the bullet to other directions.

4. The redesign player is gonna holding a lantern tied on the plume (the red feather thing on the helmet)

5. The original is very short sword, the redesign is dagger. The bow is thicker and longer in length in the redesign.

The art is not gonna have animations yet, because its gonna be pain to make :/ Also gonna put 'by : ...' thingy for the image, it might be dumb :|

Okay now that's out of the way, now I want to ask:

1. Is this design and style good? I mean I see it good, but different perspective have very different taste, maybe need a feedback on it.

2. Is copyright infringement a big problem for starting people like me? I'm worried that my work is stolen. I need a little bit of tips about that, Null is literally just a white cube (from my previous game, you can check that out if you want, not really good though). This question is optional to answer (doesn't mean the first one is required)

Well, that's all people, goodbye and most likely will not see you tomorrow because I want to make the prototype now :/

So there's no nothing huh... Thats fine you guys just do the feedback on the prototype I'm still making, just need to make the level design and thats a bit because of the combination of the puzzles. But still, love to see feedbacks. Okay thats all people ;)

I think the redesign is an improvement, overall. I’m not really sure what you’re asking about re: copyright infringement though… are you worried people will take your art or something? Worried that you’re infringing someone else’s work? Not really clear from the question.

Thank you for the reply Hughes. I worried  about the former one. I just worried that someone will stole my art and possibly even my OC (original character) and blame me. I'm a little bit too worried about that. I'm gonna stop thinking about that, sorry :(

Ah, you’re not alone. Most people have those worries, especially early on. I wouldn’t sweat it too much though, for a few reasons:

  • IANAL, but I believe in most places Copyright is automatically assigned to the creator of a work. Making and posting a character, provided it doesn’t already exist, is enough to make it legally yours… so as long as you don’t have people taking your designs directly off of your hard-drive there should be proof that you own your work.
  • With that said, while IP theft does happen and reports/DMCA can be used to deal with them…it’s not usually something that will hurt you much in the long run and it’s not worth the time to actively hunt down unless you’re a big business that can spare the effort. Personally, what I do is deal with anything I run into (usually starting with a quick message) but otherwise don’t spend time looking for folks who infringe. Most people copying work don’t mean badly, they just don’t know better.

In other words, your worries are totally natural but I’d reassure you that it shouldn’t be a major issue.

Wow Thank you very much Hughes. I thought copyright infringement was so serious that it will hurt in short and long run, Now I have no afraid, again Thank you very much.

Might be late to reply

But ur doing an incredible job

and the redesigned character looks way more awesome

liked the idea of the dangling lantern btw :)


It might be hard working on the same game everyday and posting devlogs about it .. with almost no reply per post, but don't let that get you down 

sooner or later people will come across your work and will give you their feedback.

keep up the good work , you will get stronger by the day


Hope u make it to the top 


Good luck
