I am almost finished with 500 Sprites for Kaiju Chronicles (sorry for animation delay)
🕑 Added 2025-01-27 13:18:27 +0000 UTCI MADE 500+ SPRITES for KAIJU CHRONICLES! (+Update) - YouTube
As you all know, I previously mentioned that I had 3 animations in development, and one slated for the end of this month. However, I found myself unable to complete it due to a few complications in both my schedule, and around my game.
Kaiju Chronicles has been developing smoothly, but I have remained very tight-lipped about it because I did not want to give false expectations of what was being added. I realized that I was not good enough at sprite art to bring my work to life properly, so I invested a large period of January into studying sprites and how to make them good/better. Since I was relatively new to sprite work, this was like jumping from a bicycle to learning how to ride a motorcycle in one month... but I still got the hang of it eventually.
At this moment, I am working on the BIOME sprites needed to make each area distinguishable in game. These sprites are critical to the games feel, polish, immersion, progression and aesthetic, as without them, RPG Architect's basic world looks a little bit like minecraft. There is nothing wrong with minecraft, but making my game resemble another pre-established one isn't the best idea.
Therefor I had to dedicate a large portion of this month to figuring out how to make each region unique, AND each biome distinct in ways that would keep players engaged between ingame events/ cutscenes. Seeing as how I am making a world for well over 140 monsters, I had to make biomes that properly suite the fact that they exist. No one wants to see a fish out of water lol.
That being said, I still will not be done with these sprites for a while, but I am also working on the first animation. In order to complete it, I will likely have to have game development take a back seat for a moment, to fully flesh it out. During that time, I can hopefully work on improving the character sprites next, but I will have to wait and see.
All this being said, I am sorry for the long silence. I kept thinking that I was ready to upload something and go ahead with it, but I found myself unable to work on anything until I made the sprites for it... and I mean EVERYTHING. I had to make the sprites for balls, plants, rocks, everything lmao. No tutorial on youtube could have prepared me for what I have been working on in this month. Luckily, I found good artist and techniques to copy and learn from in order to make my own style.
Unfortunately, if I don't knock all of this stuff out of the park now, it will keep being a recurring issue as I develop the game, so it's better to get everything sorted out now, all at once. This means that I still am not at the point that I can add another ingame cutscene or patchnote this month as nothing is ready :(
Wish me luck
