11 months ago Sylvaris was gray boxes and a placeholder character. Every enemy, every background and every frame is hand-drawn. Today it finally looks the way I imagined it. The demo hits Steam on November 11 鈿欙笍 #indiedev #metroidvania #gamedev #solodev

Your health bar is also your fuel. Turn on Overload and it starts draining. Every hit gives some of it back. This is the mechanic my whole game is built on. Demo drops November 11. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Platforming sections from the demo. Enough variety, or is something missing? #indiedev #metroidvania

Demo's combat, as it stands. New: slash wave perk, a bit of polish. #indiedev #gamedev #metroidvania

New bombs built around the game's risk-reward design, and a reason to use Charge Throw. #indiedev #metroidvania

Added a new Overload effect and reworked enemy deaths. Every robot now shatters into scrap. #indiedev #metroidvania

Reworked the purple area's environment design. The old version didn't feel cohesive, so I redefined the area's visual language and rebuilt the parallax system, so the background layers now move with proper depth. Showing just one room here. Here's a quick look at the development process! What do you think of the new atmosphere? #indiedev #gamedev #metroidvania
