Femicom Femijam # 3 Progress

Working on a game with Brybox / Megamyth Games for the Femijam on itch.io called Femijam.

The goal is to make a game inspired by the hand drawn aesthetic seen in Yoshi's Island / Kirby.

What we have done is use old sketchbook entries traced over in Flash as the main source of art.

So far in the last 48 hours we have created a basic 8 direction movement scheme, added ability to

throw objects in the environment.

We have a player sprite, an elephant esque NPC and a pretty smooth looking visual style.

Instead of solid fills, we are utilizing Flash's ability to fill with an existing bitmap image. The

result is pretty neat.

We are programming the game in Game Maker Studio, but plan to export an HTML 5 version

for uploading on Newgrounds. Game Jam deadline is June 20.

Info for the jam is below, as well as some gifs of our work in progress.
