Well, I'm pretty sure that you want to see what the game looks like so far, after that fancy introduction.
Here is a scetchy concept pic of Cate, so that you know what she looks like. She is inspired from Breath of Fire 2's Katt.
The arsenal will consist of dual semi-automatic pistols, bombs, fire magic and the Dual Sabres; basically two sabres conected via a chain to allow some cool attacks and ways to to climb and swing across levels. I have no digital concept for these weapons at the moment.
Here is a preview, so you can see what the fake 3d looks like. I plan to remake most if not everything of Cate's sprite.
The Platform engine is adjusted version of something I made for a previous atempt to make this game. The movment engine and animations for the Cate sprite is next on the to-do list.
