the pioneer – progress update

Some more graphic work to show off!

        

The main character sprite was redesigned to better match the style of its rendering on the album cover. (If the album intrigues you I posted the whole thing in an embed in this update.) I won’t clog the tubes with every single enemy animation and stuff, I’m just posting these to show what the enemies will kinda be like.

I made a little, basic pixel font for the game! The first time you start, you input your name and select what kind of gender pronouns you would prefer. I’m digging into the engine work for normal gameplay now. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll be able to pull an all-nighter and finish this by the deadline or if I’ll have to let it overextend and become a jam entry. I’d feel a little disappointed if I had to make it a jam entry since this is my first participation and all, but eh.
