Akumi Wars TBT Sketches

Where this all started 3 years ago when this was gonna be a simple tower defense game...Apparently, Patreon thinks there's implied nudity here so it has to be Patron only. As far as I know, I didn't make any naked girls here...

Game Menu Concept

Sometimes when you're building something, you forget about the little things or less glamorous things. But something as simple as this menu concept can really put into perspective the work that needs to be put in at a glance. I got work to do...

Ideas for Promo Art

Gonna Post a bunch of sketches I've done but haven't shown yet.

Akumi Wars Sketches

Okay... I'm realizing my tendencies to go radio silent when I'm in certain creative phases. To remedy this, I'm gonna try to post things as they get finished instead of "planning" to post it at a future date. Lets see how well that goes XD Anyways, above is a bunch of sketches re...

Who Wins? / Game Engine Animation Test

Evil Akumi has MORE hitpoints AND does more damage. But normal Akumi has dodge, block and a chance to proc multi-hit. Choosing what stats and abilities to focus on will equal victory or defeat!This is the actual game engine in progress. I use it to test the character animations to see if they react ...

Wanted: Dead or... Undead "Zombie Sisters"

Undead assassins for hire. Wanted for the murder of prominent officials and countless other victims. They compliment each other's skills, one being the up close and personal melee attacker while the other casts deadly spells from afar.

Starting Characters!

So to begin the game you'll choose between the characters Akumi or the mercenary/hunter Skeez. (Some of you may know him from an obscure Akumiverse story. :D) You'll unlock other characters in the game too!Akumi's starting class will be melee warrior while Skeez will be focused on ranged...

Battle Engine Mechanics

Still hammering out the battle mechanics. Coder working to fix some animation issues with the importing of Spine files to Unity. Mainly the transition function.Animation TransitionsYou'll notice a lot of new 2d game have animations that flow into each other. Example, if a character is in the mid...

Akumi Merc Skins

Who do you take on your adventures?These we're extra fun to work on. It's cuteness overload! XD

Updates - Game Engine Prototype / Magic Girl Remaster

Magic Girl Skins! ( Note the extra shading/lighting detail! ) I love the amount of skin variants I can make for one character.Battle Engine Prototype: The game development is getting more intense. Finished a pretty substantial meeting today. We have the bare bones battle engine prototype working! Th...

Akumi Skins

Just an idea of the skin variations that can happen with one character design. Time to move on to the rest of the Akumiverse cast of characters!Lost of stuff to do this week.Onwards and Upwards!-Miltonius

Akumi Game Animations will be 60 FPS

The game animations will be playing at 60 frame per second! A lot of the time you can't see the fluid animations through the gifs I post because of the compression and frame-drops. My friend Dave saw the animations playing on my computer in real-time and said, wow that looks really smooth, you c...

Battle Engine Update #1 - Auto-battle Simulation

Sorry for the low resolution, this is an exported gif the programmer sent me. So here we go! The first iteration of the battle system. It looks simple but there's a lot of functions happening in this small little test. I'll explain. This is and AI battle simulator. Things happening: there ar...

Skins, Skins & More Akumi Skins!

This game is going to be my little art playground! :D Will be showing actual coded game engine progress soon!

Flesh Stalker Remastered!

Above is the Flesh Stalker I posted a few weeks ago with the new shading! :DF.O.C.U.S = Focus One Direction Until Successful!It's absolutely amazing the things that can happen when you put your head down and just start moving in the direction of your goal.I think I'm figuring out this GIF an...

New Skins

Just figured out how to apply new skins to existing animations! Man Spine is an animators dream program!

New Rendering Style

Alright, after trial and error, I think I've found my balance of light and shadow.

New Shading Update!

I think we may be on to something my friends! I've been experimenting and I think I've found a good balance of shading. Will post walk animations later.I'm glad I didn't settle, progress not perfection. Or progress IS perfection!Excited to try this shading on other characters now!

To Highlight or not to Highlight

Most of you know I tend to lean towards the "less is more" approach when it comes to my arts. But then Photoshop pulled me in with the results being top right. I like both! Which do you prefer?Honestly, I think the difference is small, at least on this character model. Maybe it can be used o...

Spiderman, Miles Morales!

The Spiderverse movie was so good. Who's ready for the next one?

Merica!

Canada Day

Happy Canada Day! I know it was yesterday but better late than never!I'd like to visit there one day. :D

Casting Animations

This was really good practice for cape animations. The great thing about Spine, is mesh animations. I can take any piece of art no matter the detail and animate it. It's magic I say! Still figuring out this method of animating. Using the graph editor to adjust movements is still new to me.

Flesh Stalker - Run

Animating a 4 legged character is always a challenge but I'm pretty satisfied with this result. Watched slow motion run loops of dogs but ended up making him run more like a deer because it was visually was easier and looked more clear. Dog runs are quite interesting, at least on greyhounds, eac...
