I've been thinking about changing the current Painter Blazer plans a bit.
In the last Painter Blazer devlog I mentoined that I started working on an animated trailer for the game. Well about that. Animation takes time what a shocker and my idea was too ambitious to do as of now. The animation is NOT scrapped however. What little I have managed to make so far is pretty neat. The reason why I'm pushing back the animation is because it would delay the game way more than I like.
So the new plan is that I make a regular gameplay trailer since that is way quicker. I'm also making high quality drawings of each of the characters for the trailer, for myself and for others so there is more than just the sprites of the characters.
I've also been working on an Itch.io page for the game and that is almost done (only missing the trailer and more keyart).
I'm once again working on Painter Blazer at full force and as my main project. I want it to get it out for the public already.
Thanks for reading here is Bubbles' render as a reward.

I made a Discord server a while ago but never posted the link anywhere. It didn't feel like the right time but now I'm making it public.
Worker's Workshop is a public server focused on casual talking and sharing info and getting feedback about projects like art, games, animations or music. The recommended age to join is 16 mostly because of the humor that might happen there but you won't be kicked if you are younger than that.
I used to have a Discord server years ago but I really grew apart from it. It was way too me centered. This new one aims to be about everyone and everyone's projects.
Would be awesome to meet new people and make new connections.

Last development update maybe (possibly) (might not be)
The game is already posted to Newgrounds and I have a desktop version ready to be released on Itch.io (or GameJolt if Itch.io doesn't work out).
What have I been up to?
MEDALS
Medals are working in the game. There is 3 more secret ones that aren't shown because they are well a secret.
COINS HAVE A PURPOSE
Coins were a thing in the SAGE 2024 demo but they didn't do anything. Now they have a bit of replay value and gives medals on Newgrounds.
BUG FIXING AND POLISHING
I've been fixing a bunch of bugs and I've been adding a lot of polishing to it. Now there is a simple fade to black screen transition effect for example. Some level designs and bosses have been improved a bit since the SAGE 2024 demo.
The game is done like I mentoined but it isn't out just yet. I have had the idea of animating a launch or release date trailer. The voice lines for it have been made months ago by @Nebulate and have just been sitting around until I start the animation. I'll start it this weekend.
RELEASE DATE
While I don't have a proper release date in mind I would love to get the game out before the end of the year. I won't promise any date but I am for this year.
Yes this game's development was on a little break. It wasn't completely paused but I was working on it less. It's because I got the very smart idea to join a game jam and make Twigi's Twisted Costumes. But now I'm back on this at full force. I gotta get it done.

Our game made it to daily 2nd place! Even though it says my name it was also made by @Nebulate and @Creepeeforce24

Me, @Nebulate and @Creeperforce24 made a game for @Thetageist 's costume jam. We mostly kept it a secret during the less than 2 months that we worked on it. Though Neb and I leaked a couple assets so whoops.
It's a dress up game that has an ending, voicelines and a handful of dumb buttons. The game was designed and planned by me and Neb. I made the code and sound design while Neb did graphics and voice acting and Creeperforce made a couple original songs and then we borrowed a few from his library.
Fun experice to join a game jam. Also yes this has slowed down Blazer but there will be an update about that game later.

Now you have.
This is Lily (full name Lilyana Moody) and she is my mascot on the internet. She isn't a representation of me and she doesn't have much backstory.
A couple small facts:
I have used this OC for over 4 years now.

Welp I suddenly got an urge to have a Halloween PFP even though I'm not a big halloween fan. Last night I suddenly was not completely awful at painting so I made this. Don't think this is art portal worthy but it's news posts worthy I'd say.
No @Thetageist I'm not stealing your look. I too love the bright green and purple combo. Deal with it.

To be honest I don't really care for the holiday. It has never really been a thing in here so I naturally don't have much interest towards it.
Then again I'm technically working on something that kind of relates to Halloween but at the same time doesn't. So guess there is some interest after all.
