Sicari 2 - The Brink of Time (released!!!)

Standard



Play the Demo!

Here's the sequel to Sicari I think most people were probably expecting! It's early development, but I'm showing it off anyway because I'm bad at keeping things secret and I'd rather show off all my stuff so here you go!

First of all, some plot:

Following the defeat of Scarlet Sanguis at the hands of K-16, Paradia seemed fairly peaceful upon her return. However, the God of Time Paradox has come to realise that something is slowly but surely disturbing the flow of time. He enlists the help of Sicari and K-16 following their previous effort in the defeat of Niscura, informing them that an ancient artifact, the Eye of Balance has vanished from the present day, and that it is slowly being corrupted by five objects known as the Shards of Serpos. Sicari and K-16 must set off on another mission, gathering power to travel back in time where they can retrieve the Shards of Serpos, and bring the Eye of Balance back to where it belongs. All the while, they are being pursued by a mysterious figure going by only TS-94, who also seeks the shards.

As hinted there, time travel based levels will be featured in the hack, they will replace the traditional castle level.

Here are some screenshots of the first two levels in the hack, again, quite early development, but here ya go:

Level 1:






Level 2:






As you can see we have an unnamed forest and desert level, along with that, Sicari's outfit has been updated, as have some of her animations such as how her jumping looks!

Finally, click here to see what I have for the title screen so far.

Anyway, I'll of course post more when it comes, including improvements I make to what's already shown. Hopefully this project goes well! Post any comments you may have ^^

NICE

Aside from the small lighting errors I pointed out on Discord, these are looking fantastic. The only thing I'll suggest here is maybe toying around a bit more with the desert sky HDMA. I don't think the white on the bottom does the rest of the aesthetics much justice, maybe a subtle yellow or orange or anything that could make an interesting hue shift would probably go better there.

Looking forward to seeing what kind of level design choices you'll be making for this as the plot already has something interesting going for it!
eevee is adorable

Eevee is lovely.
I see Sicari has changed her outfit a little since Sicari Remastered... this actually looks like something that could be interesting now that time travel is a thing. Reminds me a lot of Crash Bandicoot Warped or Sonic CD. Hopefully you'll put a unique spin to all the other "time travel-based" media that's around, since it's REALLY easy to make consistancy errors in your story (Giga Wrecker suffered from this. Still a good game tho).

Spected nothing less eevee, since Sicari Remastered was great and all #smw{^_^}

cool thing it also happens after K-16: Story of steel
even if it's a spin-off

i wonder if there will be any character comeback,I still wonder who's TS-94 and if it's friendly

the new sprites looks amazing, keep up the good job #smw{:TUP:}
Good luck with the sequel Eevee.
It already looks like it will be keeping up with the quality of the previous hack.

It will be cool to see what will be different this time around.
AGAIN?!

Woah, time flies, huh. It's nice to give that bloobalooby hack a sequel. Can't wait to try it out soon!
BOOYAH!!!

here's a preview of a new level I've been working on; like the first two it's not yet named but it takes place inside a lava refinery.









hope you like it o:
here's a level I was working on the past few days; it's the 5th level, where the player will travel back several thousand years in time to an ancient city

haven't started designing the actual level itself yet but here's what i have of the tileset





hope you like!
the lava area looks nice, and as I can see we gonna have custom death animations like the first game.
also, the city themed stage makes me thing of crash 3 somehow, and looks pretty good

Keep up the good job

#Peace #smrpg{y} DMBros.
Another one?
Hm
Don't take this the wrong way, but I feel like you are beating a dead horse at this point. Sicari has had so many sequels and remakes that I just have zero interest in it at this point.
But hey, at least it still looks decent.

Yes, because one spinoff and one remake is considered as "so many sequels and remakes". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, what I will say is the 5th level's tileset really looks like the tileset looks like the place is made of cookies and chocolate, which I doubt that's what you were going for (unless it is, which in that case good job). It could just be the palettes though.

Sorry about the time between updates, I've been wanting to take it easy, but here's one for now, and that's the brand new status bar, which is nearing completion courtesy of K3fka:






It's a lot more compact than before; another plan is to make the max hp 100 rather than 99, but for now, hopefully you like it :3

I'll show off a new level when I can
Ooh! The hack come back! I like the new status bar a lot!

I like the new status bar. It looks better than the one before.

kk i've been taking it slow yeah but maybe too slow so I've finally resumed progress lmao

here's a level I teased on Discord a few times now in a somewhat presentable state:






It's a snow level that takes place high in the mountains near Niscura's old castle. It's not all icy as you can probably guess but there are still slippy parts to watch out for

another thing I teased is Sicari's new knife attack, which will be her standard melee weapon she can use anytime. If all goes to plan, she will gain a more powerful version of this when she gets a fire flower.

hopefully I can get back into full swing and maybe get the hack presentable by next c3 lol

hope ya liked
That looks amazing dude.
Hello world!
