If everyone could try out the Demo and let me know how the gameplay is, that'd be outstanding!

(Both Demo's are outdated, we're working on making a new Demo)

Follow us on Kickstarter!

Synopsis: You start on your 18th birthday deciding to become a Pixa Battler, after taking a small test you're given a Pixa as your starting companion which you'll then be able to level up, and go through the world battling others. The game will have some basic creature collecting mechanics you'd expect in any game of the genre, as well as some not so unique features such as how to gain extra Pixas. This game is being developed around the board game my company is developing, and will feature elements as such. After defeating an enemy you'll get random items, these can range from a Pixa to add to your PC which you'll be able to add to your party from, to equipment that will help you out along your journeys. An entirely Pixelated world at your disposal with a linear quest to follow, extra content to branch out in, puzzles, fights, and legendary Pixas to find. Oh, on top of all of this, there's literally tons of references/easter eggs in the game. These range from anime, older cartoon and games. There's only 4 elements in the game as well, Earth (an even mixture of gameplay), Fire (more combat oriented), Water (Defensive and Tank filled), and finally Soul (Healing/Support). Each one has it's own unique playstyle and abilities that can both compliment one another.

Characters: There are 185 unique Pixas you'll be able to collect throughout your journey, some common, other rare and some still can only be found in specific areas in the map making exploration something to strive for.

Spoiler: Some Pixas

Starter Pixas
- Earthma
- Firema
-Waterma
- Billy

Other Pixas
- Starquack
-Koz
-Mikey
-Twrat
-Spixa
-Crustocean
-Ninjoblin

Those are just a few, and the larger images are the final Pixilation's of the Pixas. A Pixelation is when you give them to someone that turns them into the better form of themselves. Most Pixas have three Pixilations, however some have 2 or even 1.

The game is still in early development, however there's currently over 40 unique abilities (around 75 after everything) all with pixelized graphics. currently over 15 unique 8/16 bit music, as well as some animations around the map. Below are some gameplay GIFs for your viewing pleasure.



This first video showcases the test you take, depending on your answers you can get 4 different resulting Pixa starters. So your starter will match your playstyle more or less based off of your answers.



This is a GIF showcasing the basic starting area.




This GIF showcases the jumping mechanics. This is slightly hidden and allows you to go to areas that you wouldn't expect to be able to go to. Sometimes having hidden treasure, or areas with more rare Pixa Spawns.




And finally this video showcases the current combat of the characters. You can switch out Pixas (up to 3 in a battle) with any other Pixas in your party.

Finished the title screen. Originally I was planning on adding the above GIF however I did this whilst trying to figure out how to add GIFs but I honestly prefer this a lot more!

I just finished a huge hurdle. I've managed to create a working capture system for MV, though it's not like other creature capturing games. Instead when you defeat a creature you have a 1/10 chance to get the creature added to your 'deck' as well as a working deck where you're able to swap out your party, and also the creatures you've successfully obtained! And by I've finished, I mean, I have it working. I still need to go through and make it work for all 185 creatures that are in the game >.>

I'm adding a new battle HUD and still have to add SO many working creatures, spells etc. I've finished the animations on all of the spells, but now I have to add them and then create a class for every single creature (185) and give them unique levels for specific spells.

Looking good so far.

Really liking the pixel art and the idea of limited elements - allowing to focus more on in-depth mechanics such as combinations maybe?

I'm glad you're liking the art of everything and exactly This is based off of a board game I'm making, so each element has it's own unique and specific role. Fire is heavily based on damage, Water is based on shield and shielding others, earth's a well balance of all of them and soul is a support/healing element.

 

[XyphienLLC]

One of the most long and repetitive things I've had to do in a while was to resize 185 images, then rename all 185 images, and do it all over again 4 separate times to get this to work. But the results are totally worth it!





I've also slightly changed up the battle screen. Adding a more unique feel to the game.

I love the pixel art! Kind of reminds me of the Legend of Zelda 2D days.

Thanks I'm glad you like it, I still need to pixelate all of the battle backs and everything too but that'll be for later lol. My goal is to make the game super retro. I have some retro songs, but I'm still trying to find a good massive collection to find commercially which has been quite a hard thing to find

 

[XyphienLLC]

So a massive update on everything!

I've added in a unique fishing mini game which will be the only way to collect Water Pixas.

On top of that after 3 days of work I've managed to fully create the Deck system which allows you to withdraw, and take out any pixa you've obtained based off of it's ID number.

And finally I've finished a promotional video of the game!

 

[XyphienLLC]

There's now a download for the Demo! If anyone is willing and able could you please download it, test it out and give me some feedback on everything! It'd be extremely helpful

Looks awesome! I loved Pokemon growing up, it's so fun to collect different creatures. Good job creating so many unique ones!

 

[FleshToDust]

I played your game and gave some feedback.

 

[Freyjuu]

I tried it out for a few minutes and it's looking good so far. I did find a collision issue here though (player can walk through the wall from that direction).

 

[FleshToDust]

Adding a wall there should easily fix the issue.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy this week Thanks for pointing that out! I'll get on to fixing that asap

 

[XyphienLLC]

So, some updates on this project. Excluding the Pixacrea you can only find via fishing, all of the first Pixelation of the Pixacrea's are available in the game! (Still have to add fishing spots around the world which will have unique pixacrea) The entire map is finished excluding the insides of the buildings (every building will be available to go in).

I've also added a casino with black jack & slots.

 

[XyphienLLC]

The page is officially up as coming soon, on steam!

 

[XyphienLLC]

Not RMMV related but I am starting to work on the card game along side of the video game

 

[XyphienLLC]

Not a visual update but we are changing some core gameplay mechanics right now. Instead of Pixacrea having set in stone skills we will be adding a Skill Tree so you can choose which ones you'd like to unlock > others using skill points.

We will also be removing the 10% chance to find a Pixacrea after Battle and instead will be adding Elemental Drops to each element. Soul = Souls, Fire = Burning Embers, etc. When you defeat a Pixacrea in battle you will instead have a chance to obtain that Pixacrea's Egg, which you can then spend the Elemental Drops to hatch it and obtain the Pixacrea that way.

We also now have a Kickstarter Page which we will be going live 'eventually'


I haven't posted an update here in a while as well, so I will also say we have a fully functional Trading Card Game for this as well!

 

[XyphienLLC]

I've officially added multiplayer to the game! You will now be able to play with up to 3 other people! Each controlling your own Pixacrea in battle! A fully cooperative gameplay experience!
