I feel like a dummy - this topic WAS posted! And, I forgot all the screenshots, which explains why no one hardly paid attention to it. ><

Silly me! So, screenshots posted!

This game is still being worked on/polished. Here is some proof:

Graphics have been changed from RTP-like to the Pixel Mania set by @Sharm and some re-colors of graphics from Opengameart (some also by Sharm).


We also are upgrading our portraits, especially since we plan to add expressions! Here's a WIP:

Thanks for reading! <3

We are working on completing the actual town of Crescent Wall where Rysen spends most of his time. It was missing quite a few maps in the IGMC demo. This was one of the reasons things seemed to be rushed at the end – there was no way to physically get into the sewers. Or into the palace actually.


Because Crescent Wall is a huge place with 4 “layers” of areas, mapping it is taking quite awhile.


I have some of our WIP maps – shrunk by 66% so they are not too big for everyone to see at once.


Layer One:

There’s a slums area on the right that are not yet done.


Layer Two:

Layer Three:

The plaza is shown here, but no longer completed since we changed graphics.


We also started mapping a new area that will actually continue Rysen’s investigation, the prison:

And because Ghost Shards needs non-humanoid creatures, I started sprites of animals. The right one is awful at the moment – I’m having a bit of trouble.

That’s all for now, so thanks for reading!
