Small update on the state of things



Hey everyone! Long time no see. I'm back!๐Ÿ˜„

Something I've been working on for a while now is pixel art (as you can maybe tell). I'll make a bigger update when I'm ready to show off more things, but... Sea of Graves will be a pixel game! 

Nothing about the story changes!

You'll be able to experience the story in a more visual way. That had been my plan for this game all along as it had been intended to be a VN, but things didn't work out that way.  Losing the artist had been devastating and for a long time, I felt very lost and unsure of how to proceed with things.

The IF was always supposed to be a pre-demo demo of sorts, and I had considered continuing it as such, but there's so much I want to do that I wasn't sure how to within an IF. 

And without the visual element as support, it had been difficult for me not to confuse myself and get a bit lost and overwhelmed. Which may be in part due to ADHD or whatever, who knows.

I decided to try my hand at pixel art, to see if that was something I could do, and from that moment on I've been drawing non-stop every day to get everything ready. 

Much respect to all the people out there who create these amazingly detailed IF's with lots of branching! It's incredible what they're able to do. Y'all are impressive!

The GUI is not far from being done. And I've been working on the tiles and objects for what you'll see in the demo. I'll be updating the game page at some point (hopefully soon). I've also been contemplating the possibility of there being more romance options added, though that decision hasn't been made one way or the other as of yet. 

And finally, here's a little sneak peek of what I've been up to. Still adding more details to various things as well as drawing new ones, but it's all coming along! And I'm really excited to show you more!

I hope you'll like what I've done, I'm still relatively new to pixel art so there's still plenty of things for me to learn but it's been a lot of fun ๐Ÿ˜Š


TLDR; Sea of Graves will be a pixel game, you'll be able to wander around Hazelwood, (maybe, if you want) find love there, (maybe) find death, or maybe some ghosts. Nothing about the story itself changes, you'll just get more visuals!
