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.
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

@-zyik-
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.

Thanks!!!
Now I just need to get better at coding and animating. :sob:
12 Oct, 2025, 10:23 pm
you should hire a team for it dude its a really good concept genuinely

@INTERNETYAMERO
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.

@The_Adjudicator
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.

Reminds me of symphonia and hollowkight if they mixed their character design styles ,, in a good way obviously
