Various damage sprites for Andrea and Vera for combat. We go from Good, to Bad, to Terrible. Rather than having a normal damage bar, we were thinking of combat more as a strike system with the amount of damage being visibly shown through Vera and Andrea's sprites. Three strikes and you're out, hence three different states of being for the characters. Combat shouldn't be too hard, so we're not as concerned abt the strict health system, but it will also depend on how things expand moving forward.

Some of the items you can select during combat. Posting these on their own to show off some of the individual items. We've got flour, arrows for Vera's bow, and Andrea's hammer so far but we're likely to add more in the future!

Currently working on the next part of our game and figuring out the combat system! Here's a screenshot of what it's currently looking like. We're going for a puzzle like system where you can examine your environment to use your surroundings to fight Paragons. Right now, I've been mainly working in black and white just to figure out how assets will look in space but things may change overtime. I'll be releasing individual assets for these in the coming weeks as they're finished up.

Sloane's favorite diner and meeting place. It is well populated and unassuming, making it ideal for hiding in plain sight.

One of the first and most vital BGs we've got is the inside of Andrea's van! Andrea always drives with Vera in shotgun. We wanted the van to seem lived in with a number of wrappers and trinkets that Andrea's amassed through her travels. It was a challenge drawing the inside of a car but I had a lot of fun figuring things out!

Hotel BG! Throughout the visual novel, Vera and Andrea stop by a variety of run-down motels and hotels. Aka just this background color shifted

First CG of the game!! I had a lot of fun drawing this one since it had been awhile since I digitally rendered a full scene but I'm happy with how it turned out, particularly the texture of the fire. I also always have a lot of fun drawing Andrea, I love drawing her hair and outfit. This is the first time she uses her powers in the game and it's in a very dramatic scene so I really wanted to sell that emotion and her hesitance.

Our main character, Andrea Bracken, is on the left, and her partner, Vera Lavoie, is on the right. I wanted something that wasn't too immediately stressful and showed off them just hanging out in Andrea's van since their relationship is really the center of the story.
