Not too exciting today, but it's been a while since I posted some work! Before I was using premade character controllers and animation controllers, but now I'm testing out my own to give myself control to do what I want. #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Here's a WIP of an owl companion that fires projectiles! I was absolutely mesmerized by the eagle in The Pathless, and a bird like that that works mechanically like Grimoire Wiess from Nier would be a killer companion. #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

I spent some time tweaking two different projectiles, and tried out some color grading to make them the focus. The regular projectile you can hold for a steady rate of fire, or rapidly press the fire button for quicker bursts. #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Today we're playing with the simplest bullet hell mechanics you can think of. Maybe it's time to teach the poor player character how to dodge and actually fight back? #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Since my last update I'm thankful to say since that I've passed 500 followers! Here's a peek at what I've been working recently on for the occasion. Thank you very much to everyone who's stuck around to watch my progress! #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Typically I'm a bit of a perfectionist and try to make my #screenshotsaturday posts relatively polished for my skill level, but maybe I should embrace posting rough WIPs and bugs. Here's an early look at an attack combo with weapon swapping! #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Matt (@chandlerm35) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A tiny bit of hitstop, some screen shake, and particle effects on the sword make a huge difference for how an attack feels. #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Devil May Cry is in Chromagyka's blood, and one of my goals is for it is to let players have a similar level of expressive combo potential. Two forms have similar abilities to Dante and Nero that help keep on top of foes! #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

I got a bit burnt out working too much in October, so I took a break in November... and then Endwalker took over my life. Here's some FFXIV inspired AoE markers! I need to learn how to write shaders to make them look better #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

It looks like at some point my Pitch Ya Game tweet from November got deleted with the Chromagyka gif. for #screenshotsaturday I'm going to post it again because I'm proud of it. I'm hoping to have something even better to show for the next one in two months!

I'm experimenting with letting the player use attacks from one form in another if they swap at the right time. The first yellow attack is actually the cyan third hit with more range because it's using the yellow weapon. 🤔 #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity

You can't have a character action game without floating air attacks! #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

A simple combo with some newly added juice. The game is a lot more satisfying now! #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Persephone's character is based around sound, so I wanted her footsteps to be part of the music. Here's a test of the system where every time she takes a step a viola will pluck a random note from the current chord being played in the song! #screenshotsaturday

With a little help from your companion, you can launch enemies and keep them juggled even from a distance! You can always swap to the yellow form to bring them back down or a bit closer to you. #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

This week I did some learning on visual effects, and I wanted to test this portal approach on two very different environments! #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Hey #PitchYaGame! Chromagyka is a character action game that I'm developing as a dream project over time while I learn game development. Swap between different colored forms to use chromatic abilities to juggle your foes! Follow me to keep up with the project!

A WIP for a boss attack effect from Persephone. The player character isn't the only one that can change color! #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity #indiedev #gamedev

Hi this is why you haven't seen any updates on Chromagyka in six months but SOON I'm going full force into learning unreal and it'll come back from the dead in a new engine. Almost ready to get a new and better day job so I can focus on making the stuff I wanna make.
