After spending a long weekend crawling through caves in Kentucky, I'm back with some work to show.
First off, I recruited a friend to help me with art for the demo. He's definitely a better artist than I am, which is great. Asked him to mock up some tiles and background sprites (tiled of course) and he sent me this:
At the same time, I got a decent walk cycle going for the main character. Peep that here.
Pretty soon we'll have a bit more art, along with a title screen/main graphic and I'll start a proper thread just for the demo.
