Bel by PremonitionofWinter

Building a concept for a rhythm/rogue-like game.

Messing around with combat ideas, leaning towards having the player upgrade and extend a melody that has to be played in order to attack.

Bel is the first character concept I have sketched, and would have a bell soundbank. It would probably have a few more bells animated around it.

Outfit inspired by fantasy clerics and jesters.

Hehe, I've seen worse typos, all good.
It is pretty rare to see me draw less draconic things. It's become a joke in my family about me.

I have a good friend who would genuinely help. We've even considered making Minecraft mods.
Big hurdle is getting a good laptop or pc, honestly.

At first glance I thought this could work as some Belhart automaton in SilkSong. Now I can magine them making this to fight off invasive critters in the bellways.

Really looks like a character from an actual game. For some time now, I've been wanting to develope a 2D Metroidvania style game, with Monster Hunter inspired Combat and equipment mechanics. I love a good Metroidvania, but it's not often that bosses are refightable.

Spelunky is my favorite Rogue-like. That's another genre I love to play.

Now I want to get a group together and play some more Spelunky 2 again.

It'd be amazing to someday have the skills (and team) to create a game. I hope to do so eventualy, but I'm going to seek a drafting degree first.
Spelunky 2.
Downloaded that on a whim once. Was befuddled. Accidently joined an online game, died rather quickly, and got to sit back and watch an incredible speedrun live.

So many secret mechanics.
I helped by being sacrificed to get stuff.

I've clocked in 450+ hours into that game..

Your story has made my day already that much better. XD Thanks for sharing a good laugh.
I have a screencapture saved to my Switch of a scene where I found a pet shop in the sector just above a Khali alter, with a bunch of enemies around it. It was the most glorious thing I had seen in that game.
