Hi, that is my new project.  I don't have a name for it yet, calling it Monk for now. https://youtu.be/bVwY5ULwyvw What do you think? download the pre alpha: https://positiveframe.itch.io/monk

I think this looks amazing! The graphics are perfect and the sounds even more so. You are doing amazing work here!Can't wait to see how this will develop!  G:

That's pretty impressive, nice work! You've got a great panel of boss fights, it looks pretty challenging :D

Thanks for the nice feedback. I want it to be hard, but it might be too hard at the moment.The demo can be downloaded here, please, tell me your opinion about the difficulty if possible:[url=http://www.filedropper.com/monk32]http://www.filedropper.com/monk32[/url] click on "Download This File"Its better played with a controller.I know everybody knows it in the forums but I have to say, Godot is awesome, I really love its architecture.

I actually think the difficulty is at a good place, I like games that actually give a big challenge, it's more rewarding when you finally defeat the bosses!I just have one request, and that's to give the player the option to enable vsync. Otherwise the tearing is really bad on my monitor (darn these AMD cards, eh?). Overall, very nice demo so far!  :)

I commented in your video, you might have not seen yet so here it is: I think a little bit of work on the level design would be awesome. The (what I called) (mini)bosses are amazing already.

Yes, One of my  inspirations is Shadow of the Colossus, so I what a minimalist level transversal without normal enemies,  but I will work more on the level Design to put some  interesting challenges here and there, and also some secrets. Now I'm working on a magma tileset to make the cave section more interesting.

Big updates !!!!!! Auto-save: Now the game saves your progress. Was a boss too difficult? Take your time, relax and defeat him another day. New enemies: one new enemy encounter (kings soldiers) e two new bosses. Updates do environmental sounds. New dialogs: Lots of new dialogs better explaining the journey of the monk, but only in Brazilian Portuguese for now. Sorry for this, but I don't want to deliver a crappy translation, but it will have English translations as soon as possible. download:  https://positiveframe.itch.io/monk

Please, leave your comments about the game. Is it nice? Is it too hard? Were you able to defeat all bosses?

Thank you a lot!

</blockquote> Hi, I just uploaded de Linux version, please tell me if it is working well (I don't have a Linux computer to test it).

Looks superb from what I see in the video. Challenging Retro Platformers have never failed to charm me, and at 60 FPS, it's an absolute visual delight (for me atleast, not very sure how many share that opinion ;) ). But what I don't like are the sound effects. I can no longer stand that 8-bit sound after playing modern games, especially that BFXR kind. It would be great if you could make it a bit more pleasing on the ear, unless you strictly want to stick to that era's feel.

</blockquote> Well, if there is programmer art, there is programmer sound design hehehe. I also think that the BFXR (you gessed right) effects could be better, I like how the ambient sound is right know, and I used foley sound effects to do it. I might try to use this same route for the other effects. Thanks for the feedback.

SuryaSel

Haha yes, programmer sounds alright :D But just like progart can be beautiful, you can also make innovative use such sounds to create some wacky sounds that work well with these kinda games. Check out this sample for instance https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-4wueWbOklOUDRxSmJScG5Xajg/view?usp=sharing (RetroQwikies1) . You'll find like 5 wav sound samples here that may give you an idea of what I had in mind...lemme know what you think :)

@super_turbo These were made in BFXR as well :)

New version 0.3 with bug fix. The bug that let you hit enemies in hitstun making them too easy.

Tchey

Very nice boss patterns, a little too long to kill maybe, 3 hits should be enough, for my taste at least. Sounds are a bit painfull i think, too... deep ? or something.

super_turbo

thanks, Yes, I have to work a lot on the sound.

New version with 2 new bosses: https://positiveframe.itch.io/monk
