Our recoupable was met last month so we actually get to make half decent money from Vernal Edge now.

We made a metroidvania with DMC/KH2 inspired combat that's pretty good.

You can get your ass beat in the fishing minigame!

Sigma's head from MMX2 added to Vernal, who has long brown hair, a green coat with gold trim, silver metal shoulder pads and boots, brown gloves and a silver-blue sword.

After Sigma's hair grew back he regained all his confidence. He also became much shorter.

One of Sigma's MMX6 heads over Chervil, a tan robot with an open lab coat, blue pants, and a cavity in their chest containing a blue orb.

In an alternate universe, this is the reveal at the end of Mega Man X6, that Sigma was in Isoc all along.

Vernal and Alstroemerida from @hymynameismatt.bsky.social and his team's game Vernal Edge.

Played it over the Christmas and had the idea for the two "sisters" in one very soon after beating it.

#art #digitalart #VernalEdge #indiegames #clipstudiopaint #clipstudio #artist #indiedev #fanart #drawing

Portrait of Alstroemeria drawn with Vernal reflected within, aside from the Pulse Edge (Vernal's little sword and the titular Edge of the game), Vernal fits entirely within Alstroemeria. Vernal is also given a darker and more naturalistic pallet that expresses her connection to reality (meanwhile her adversary is this weird corporeal imaginary being made from her Dad's memories of her or something, which is where her more vibrant pallet comes from).

The sort of stained glass style design is based on the sort of popping glass noises the unreality portals make in the game.
Theres a few things I feel I could have done better (mostly finding a way for the eye on Alstroemeria's side to be open, since it would keep making her face look so wide.

An edit of Sigma's head from MMX3's beta build added to Alstroemeria, a tall woman with long brown hair, white flowers in her hair, a red dress with white and gold accents and a large warhammer.

This girl was difficult the last time I fought her, I couldn't figure out how to avoid her most powerful attacks for a long time.

One of Sigma's heads from Mega Man Xtreme 2 over the body of a misshapen clay-like creature holding a gray boulder over its left shoulder. Its legs are unusually narrow and pointed compared to the rest of its bulky body.

I'll be honest, I don't know what these guys or any of the other enemies are called. I tried looking everywhere I could, but there's not enough info around about this game, which is a shame.

@shuncrone.bsky.social

Neat piece of tech. The parry (called deflection ingame) can be done during any spell. If you bind a spell to down+spell, you can cast and parry after with the same input.

With Chain Buster in that slot that gives you combo starters like this!

VernalEdgeおもしろかった～ちょっと色々と説明不足なところは確かにあったけど、丁度良い手応えの難易度でキャラを動かしてて楽しいアクションゲームだった。最近買ったゲームの中では一番熱中できたので、やはりこのくらいの横スクロールアクションが自分には一番性に合ってる
