This trailer used to be only visible if you beat the April fools demo but here it is for everyone to see since April fools is long gone.

The Painter Blazer demo was an April fools demo! It was intentionally bad. Now there was a reward in the form of a YouTube link for those who did beat the game. I'll probably make it public in a week or so.

Here is the demo again:

It got out of under judgement with decently good reviews so yippee.

Go play it. It's really cool.

A bit shorter of a development update this time. A lot has changed and a lot has been kept the same. I mostly want to show off a new enemy designed by @Nebulate.

Canman

He is a can shaped robot with a very versitile kit. For his neutral special he wields a gun.

He is very smart. So smart in fact that his head will blow up. He knows your IP adress and credit card info.

T - 31 seconds and we are gone for audio sequence start. T - 10 seconds and we are gone for audio sequence start.

Lol April fools this character is not real. Or maybe he is nobody will ever know what I will do.

If you perform a dash and then attack you can wavedash.

Time for yet another development update.

Two thirds of the way done!

Alright so to start off world 2 is finished complitely. Levels, boss and cutscenes are all finished and done for world 2. Even @GGishere 's voicelines are done. Everything that happens after world 2 is also done. Now I only have world 3 aka the final world to make (5 levels, boss and cutscenes). There is some smaller things to be made like saving and maybe possibly Newgrounds medals if I can figure those out but I'm not promising them.

Now other smaller but important things.

Every levels code and sprites have been optimized a lot more so there should be as little for the game to load per each scene which should make the game run as smoothly as possible. Now something cool I made is a custom loading screen that should appear everytime the game needs to load a lot of stuff. So at the start of the game and when going to different worlds.

Picture of the loading screen. The Blazer at the bottom is spinning btw.

Progress in the future hopefully speeds up a little since I'm done with a big 10 week long college thing and I possibly have more freetime. I'm done with my website for now so that also won't take time away from me.

Yup. On top of making a game I decided to take a shot at making a website for myself. I used what I learned in college to my advantage. It's far from done but it's good enough to be shared. I'm planning on adding way more pictures to it and overall making it look a lot nicer and more advanced.

Basically it's a replacement for my Linktree. A website is way more customizable to make it look how I would like but the cost is that it takes longer to make and I need to learn how to use HTML and CSS better.

I miss the old Layla , straight from the 'Go Layla

Chop up the soul Layla , set on her goals Layla 

I hate the new Layla , the bad mood Layla 

The always rude Layla , spaz in the news Layla 

I miss the sweet Layla , chop up the beats Layla 

I gotta to say at that time I'd like to meet Layla 

See I invented Layla , it wasn't any Layla 

And now I look and look around and there's so many Layla 

I used to love Layla , I used to love Layla 

I even had the Blue hoodie, I thought I was Layla 

What if Layla made some art about Layla 

Called "I Miss The Old Layla , " man that would be so Layla 

That's all it was Layla , we still love Layla 

And I love you like Layla loves Layla

I made a Rivals Of Aether Stage called Piracy Is A Crime.

Here is a trailer for it. Go play it if you play Rivals Of Aether

Steam Workshop link

Made it for Pixel Day so here is also the post.

It is that time again.

Big thing. All five of world two's normal levels are finished. It has new enemies, new game mechanics, new sprites, new music and new sound effects and all of those are done. Once again @wobwobrob made great music to it and @GGishere made some new voice lines which some I still need to implement. I have not yet made a playtest version because there are a few issues that I need to fix first so I'm not 100% sure how fair the new levels are but I can alway go back and edit them. Useless feature that I added is taunting. Just wanted to add it for the fun of it.

The game has been optimized a good bit too and tested if it works on Newgrounds and of course it does. At first I had a problem where the audio didn't work at all but it was just me being dumb and forgetting to clean some old code that was causing the audio to not work.

@Nebulate has helped me with a few character designs so he is part of the team of people who are willing to help me now too. Special thanks to @Prismisho for teaching me how to use bit crusher effect on Audacity.

Here is a peek at the new gimmicks and level style and what not.
