You want it darker? There's a clown who appears Monday through Wednesday who lets you adjust the arcade's haziness.

Bob's doppelganger hangs out in the arcade two days a week. He is very proud of the amount of time he's spent playing video games.

Back to Walthros! Time for Bob to flop his flippers and break his way into the Grey Shrine.

Redesigned the three forms of the Boogeymen to show a more obvious line of development. Just getting to the part of the story that starts to explain them.

I feel you could get away with making the first of those even smaller - maybe even just a head with feet, if that's setting-permitted. As-is, the silhouettes of the first two are kinda hard to tell apart in isolation, or in a situation where they're rushing towards you.

Like the third guy, though.

That's a good point, it was hard to see the difference in motion for those two.

I kept working on them and added some horn bits to both the second and third forms as well as making the second one both taller and wider. The first one is now a lighter color; I might change its color further to add more contrast between the two stages.

Yeah, it's definitely much more obvious now.

This dungeon's all about disorientation and teleporting around. Bob just loves slapping keyboards.

It's getting a little hard to post screens of the new area that don't spoil anything major. We're leading up to the end of act 1, and things get weird and wild.

I'm redoing a lot of my battle backgrounds and removing the letterboxing. I think it looks good when you just have a couple heroes, but it becomes cramped when the party starts featuring larger heroes.

I don't like warning players that something huge is about to happen, but I also want to avoid anyone getting stuck unprepared.

Bob's portion of this dungeon is nearly done, then we control some other dudes for a while.

On Normal and Hard, Shieldbots counter direct physical damage with an electric charge attack. Plan your moves carefully and take down the shields first!

Replaying and fixing up some older bits of the game and making sure all the palette code works before moving on to the next story beat.

500+ hours of development time, 7 hours of game play, Part I: Bob is complete. Now we enter a new chapter in the world of Walthros: Renewal.

The next three chapters of the game will take a lot less time to build. Much of Part I's development was constructing systems, graphics, and characters that will be used throughout the rest of the game.
