Almika 2 (working title)

[mouse spirit]

Added some placeholder tunes.
Press select to change character pallets and songs.
I will implement those things in good ways, but they are demo testing things for now.
You can freely cycle through each, they will loop.
And they both reset if you go to the next room for now.
Made a goat/deer floaty guy. Kinda cool eh? Give it a go. The rom has been updated

 

[mouse spirit]

Added the start of a pause menu.
You will be able to choose a cassette tape(song)
And choose your weapons.Projectile and Melee.
Its getting there.half works for now.
This is my first nes menu so,it will be a minute.
But feel free to try it out. Palettes and music only
cycles when paused now. Same with weapons.

I may change it to a simple icon and a number for each thing.
But i kinda like selecting it all over the screen
Any ideas are welcome. As i said, this is just the beginning of a menu.
Rom is updated to reflect this.

Heh, you're really going to give this gory approach a go, huh?
Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'll try to think of some new concept arts for you to utilize.

WWBD? What would babylon do.
Thats kinds the theme im going towards i think. Like a goat/deer man/woman that has magical powers but is locked up guarding an ancient powerful relic.
Or like a giant bloodcow hooked up to wires so the room can run off of its energy.
These bad guys are sic n twisted. Nothing like, rated X here. But rated R for satanism and weird shit? Yes!

The first game was light hearted, this one has a more serious tone possibly.

 

[mouse spirit]

Working on some chicken brickens .




My pause menu is coming along great. I'll update the rom in a few minutes.

 

[mouse spirit]

Added run n gun animations (or i allowdrunning animation to continue while shooting)
, drill animation (not running right yet...) And fixed all full suit animations
if you grab the item in the goat room.
and well, some 80s bounce. May be overboard......but i cant bounce just half a pixel!

Rom has been updated

 

[mouse spirit]

mouse spirit, what you think about some change of graphics in your game?​

In this variant you can use 1-2, 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4 frames to animation. In GIF all 4 frames.

Sic!
Sadly this almika is the 2nd in a series, so she kinda needs to be the same-ish. Im going for an athena/madoola/valis style. Kinda simplistic looking...
But your chick is awesome! Id hold onto that or see if anyone wants stuff like that. I mean, i do truly. Kinda sucks im passing on it. Very awesome!
There is a byte-off competition coming up and someone may want your help.
Its for fun truly,but people can win.
I dont think im entering, but if i was itd be nice to have stuff like this. Thanks again.

 

[mouse spirit]

Just tryin some stuff. Check it out if ya want. Ive updated the debug rom.

 

[Basty]

Oh no, Yoku blocks. XD

 

[RetHunter]

Well, i do need some boss ideas. My bosses in Almika one are all the same truly.....
What i would like to do, atleast, is make some big tile basedbosses.

I'd want to go for H.R. Giger(contra)/ Robodemon sh*t....
but cute.

Example: A computer background with a skeleton torso, but it has hearts or flowers maybe.
Or i end up making it cuter with hearts or flowers.

Skull in leaves. Only 31 sprites and one pallete.

Its so awesome! Almika is actually a Maya word.( but also in other native american languages/dialects )
and so i think this fits very well. Looks middle/south american native to me fersure.
