Shadow: An Adventure In Monochrome..

[Redherring32]

I got my Player Animations fairly well defined,
and I started adding graphics.
Here is a sample picture of what it will be like!


More to come!

I now have a test version available, the cat counter works now thanks to @Cargo

If you have any suggestions, or feedback I would love to hear them!

I like it so far. Reminds me of some late 70's arcade games or like early ZX Spectrum games with a dash of inverted Limbo.

Nice! ...A NES demake of "Limbo". Love it!

 

[Redherring32]

Limbo Was actually part of my inspiration!

Update:
I spent the better part of today drawing and creating some monsters...
These are just a couple of them so as to not spoil the gameplay...
Due to the fact that I prefer to draw by hand first updates will probably be pretty slow...
I intend to release scans of the originals upon game completion...

 

[Redherring32]

I have a start screen in place,
and I have numerous additional assets and gameplay elements since the last update.
Also I hope to have enough content for a demo soon!

Thank you if you're actually watching this project!

Well, i've been sidetracked these last few months, but here is the pre-alpha test game.
It's not much but i'm happy with it thus far.

It's a nice start so far. I managed to find 2 cats, although it didn't count them in the hud.

Never did find that color thief though, fell off the edge of the world and into oblivion before I could.

 

[Redherring32]

Yeah that's as far as I got,
As for the cats I can't figure out how to make it count them.
I've been heavily delayed in making this game because of work.

 

[Redherring32]

MistSonata I fixed the cat counter after some help.

 

[Redherring32]

I've made several more screens, and plan on more enemies.
If you haven't yet, feel free to try my latest version!

 

[MistSonata]

Talking to the old man increases the "cats found" counter, is that supposed to happen?

Its not supposed to, but I don't have any clue how to make it ignore non-cat NPCs.

Here are some of the finished screens:

The latest version is linked in the original post.

So, I've spent several hours drawing, and I'm happy to present my (nearly) finished boxart.
The main character will be named Wilf.

I'm glad you like it!
I've still got some minor adjustments on the boxart, but I'm hoping I'll get it done today, or tomorrow.

 

[Redherring32]

I am finally pleased with my boxart!
Let me know what you think about it!
