Cuurian - Witches and Butchers!

More tweaks for the platforming sections of Witches and Butchers! Improved enemy spawns, more enemy variety and waaay better framerate thanks to some serious optimization lol. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #retrogaming

Showing some work on the emulator that powers the PC/Modern Console version of Witches and Butchers! Now featuring an Art gallery which will have TONS of concept art in the final version. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #shmup #gameboy #gbstudio #retrogaming #steam #xbox

Lluuvia Reference/Concept art I really love how she looks, funny when compared to the 16x16 sprite. #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart

Showcasing one of the bosses of Witches and Butchers, this fella does pack a punch so be ready to bring your most agile characters and give them lots of SPD otherwise you will be overwhelmed! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio #shmup #retrogaming

These last weeks were spent mostly on under-the-hood bugfixes that are a bit difficult to clip, but while I figure a way to talk about them, have this little relaxing scene of the protagonists just chilling there. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #gameboycolor

Assorted assortment of bosses in Witches and Butchers! Some boss fights will be played in platformer mode, so they play more similar to a mega man game, most boss fights are in the traditional shoot em up format for sure! #gamedev #indiegame #gameboy #gbstudio #screenshotsaturday #shmup #retrogaming

Preparing one last playable demo before getting ready for release in the following months so have some gameplay of one of the early stages in the meantime Do you think it is too hard for being a tutorial stage? #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio #shmup

Some raw platformer gameplay on Witches and Butchers, showing up some tweaks to the general experience here and there, as well as a new border art, and a pause menu feature where you will be able to see enemy stats such as attack and hp #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio

📢ANNOUNCEMENT: Our #kickstarter for Llewl and the Lyre of Two Worlds is live. ⬇️Link in the replies We would really appreciate any support. Everything from a like, repost, comment and on would be really appreciated.

Some photos of Witches and Butchers running on a game boy color #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio #screenshotsaturday #gameboy

In Witches and Butchers, some places aren't cute and magical, Lluuvia and her friends will have to fight some nasty creatures from time to time, Like in this case, F.L.E.S.H. the parasite. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #retrogaming

Showing a bit of everything in this #screenshotsaturday This is recording from my GBun frontend that introduces the pc options screen. Also some gameplay from the Pisto river region featuring a time-warping ghost that refuses to die lol #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy #shmup #gbstudio #gbc #retrogaming

A raw footage sneak peek of some of the unlockable "support skills" in Witches and Butchers, such as a heal for all the party members, a tornado shield that deals multiple hits to enemies, and a device that duplicates ally shots! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #shmup #rpg

A little showcase of some of the "enemy encounters" you will find in Witches and Butchers, they are repeteable mini bosses that you can find while traveling the world, upon defeat you get crystals and ingredients to level up your characters! #gamedev #gbstudio #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gameboy

More assorted platforming gameplay, every day less janky, still some more fun work to do in this front, but I think it is already far away from the "awful" state these levels were before lol. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio

Funny orange elf #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio

Most of last 2 week's progress was made to optimizations and other under the hood stuff so have 20 seconds of spamming the A button in an owl to make it go hoot #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #rpg

Sin ninguna razon en particular... Les recuerdo que Witches and Butchers contará con dialogos en Español e Inglés. Despues del lanzamiento se considerarán idiomas adicionales! #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio

When in doubt, spin to win! Work in progress janky implementation of Clarissa's new secondary skill, a spin attack that hits both directions in quick succession! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #retrogaming #witchesandbutchers

In Witches and Butchers, the protagonist, Lluuvia, can summon magic cauldrons to cook and eat food for leveling up, as well as teleport to previously visited locations This was heavily inspired by the bonfires of Dark Souls games! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio

Last days were spent reprogramming the logic behind auto and manual fire, reducing input lag , making attack cooldowns more consistent and overall making the combat feel fluid! It's a chaos the gbc can barely handle lol #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio #shmup

I'm currently working on improving the gameplay of a character that i neglected for a long time, Clarissa, the only melee character in game, had to come up with a melee attack that felt fun despite the limitations, #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturaday #gbstudio #gameboy

One of the oldest areas in the game, that barely had any visual modifications since 2022 now has a redesign, i think it looks pretty cool, like a mountain Bonus image, a dungeon using the same tile set but it bugged out because it surpassed the tile limit #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

#screenshotsaturday or more like "crappy photos of Witches and Butchers running on a Game Boy Color and on a 2003 laptop running Windows XP Saturday" #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio #gameboy

A few places you’ll visit in our game... #indiegame #pixelart

the music: 🌜🌆✨ the gameplay: 💥🎯👩‍🍳🔪🗣️🔥🦉 Some gameplay footage by our assistant programmer @reinawallaby.bsky.social she's tweaking the cooking system to make it feel more fun and satisfying! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy

Testing the steam build of witches and butchers that I will upload in the following days, I used Godotboy for the frontend and added some features such as borders and key remapping, once i get rid of the game-specific code and tidy the code up I'll share the code #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio

Very very very busy fixing bugs and preparing everything for a last pre-release demo! So I'm sharing actual screenshots for #screenshotsaturday now featuring all three borders that can be used on the non-gameboy versions of the game #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio #gameboy

Have some WIP platformer stage gameplay because I love sharing clips of the game glitching out lmao #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy

This boss is a fun experiment. The screen scrolls making it feel like you are chasing him, and if you survive enough time he just gives up and runs lol. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio

I'm live working on #IsleofReveries! 🔗⬇️

Testing a chapter 2 dungeon in Witches and Butchers, that one shotgun enemy is beyond broken, it will be my priority to make it fun to play against lol. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #shmup #retrogaming

More gameplay footage of Witches and Butchers showcasing more aggressive enemies, i have spent the last weeks tweaking and balancing the enemies, theres still some work to do but I feel satisfied. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio #retrogaming

Another combat-tweaking experiment, enemies are way more aggressive and the player base movement speed has been increased to compensate... then I realized this is the tutorial stage so maybe i should leave this aggressiveness for later. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Hello! Omen of Duality is a Super Hydlide / Ys / Zelda inspired game I've been working on.

Ah yes, Witches and Butchers' Cooking system now has manual and auto mode, in manual mode you have to play a button-pressing minigame where you can get bonus food if you play it well! #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio #gameboy #screenshotsaturday

Yes I assure you, using some kilobytes from the already scarce memory to play an owl voice sample is important for the gameplay #gamedev #gbstudio #screenshotsaturday

In Witches and Butchers, there are some more experimental enemy types such as these ghosts who have the ability of altering the scroll speed of the dungeon, and other effects that will be added in the future. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy

Finally found a way to fix one gameplay issue that always bugged me out, enemies would dodge outside of the camera making combat annoying, now they dont step back or move forward instead if they are at the right edge of the screen. #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio #screenshotsaturday

Those armored ducks can be a pain in the butt sometimes! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio #retrogaming #homebrew #shmup

I dont have a clever comment to add to this gameplay clip lol #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio #shmup

In Witches and Butchers there will be an unlockable alt skill for each character Our funny elf Clarissa's alt skill is... certainly a choice. (Probably a placeholder, probably not, who knows) #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy #shmup #retrogaming

Now that I think about it, There are few GBC games with a cooking/crafting system, now I get why, had to add a "Loading" sequence when displaying recipe ingredients otherwise the gameboy couldnt keep with it . #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturaday #gbstudio #gameboy
