Starless Umbra

Hey #gamedev, wanted to share an updated trailer for our couch co-op action RPG. Lots of polish went into this last year! We'll be doing playtests later this week.

I tried Starless Umbra by @starlessumbra.com! Although I didn’t finish it (dunno if I hit a bug or I’m just stupid), this was a great game! Combat, puzzles, customization, there’s a lot to love here and I’m looking forward to this game’s future! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/MMtWDLqFOjE?...

happy #screenshotsaturday sneaking in a few fun + QOL features... the poor bunnies. #ドット絵 #jrpg

Good morning! Today I wanted to go over 25 of the best RPGs that we saw at Indie Quest and give my thoughts and opinions about them! youtu.be/h6-0HaYtbWQ

That time Sloth met a very special guest at BitSummit! Lovely to see you @sako.works and to also check out @starlessumbra.com too!

I'll be at the @starlessumbra.com booth during (most of) #BitSummit! Come take a sticker sheet! (that I printed too late to get pre-cut, so you will have to cut them yourself... sorry) このブースで僕がいます！

I designed and dubbed some tapes for Bitsummit this year! Very excited for the event.

I have been reworking the player animations for @starlessumbra.com and now we have full 8 direction running animations for Amalia. Loving how it turned out! #pixelart #gamedev

Starless Umbra has been selected for #BitSummit! May 22–24 in Kyoto (Booth 3F-D15) ⚔️ Engage in real-time combat (couch co-op!) 📖 Discover a sincere narrative with gameplay-forward storytelling #BitSummit #GameDev #JRPG

Played some of that @starlessumbra.com You'd think by presentation it'd be something like Secret of Mana 2 but the systems feel more like a PS2 title. A lot of systems, a lot of minigames. Very fun. Worth following, I think. store.steampowered.com/app/3101780/...

Fran has really helped take this game's animations to the next level. I'm so excited to see how things shape up this year.

my co-op jrpg, starless umbra, in #15seconds

I'm in this one! Don't blink.

some tutorial work & dungeon exploration✨ (sorry I kinda blasted thru it to keep the video under 100mb) #screenshotsaturday

I like to do these periodic dream sequences, I feel they're a staple in the genre. Hopefully the parallax effect isn't too forced? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart

update: (mostly) finished the cutscenes, here's village #2 's market area where you can find abilities and accessories for trade. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #jrpg #ドット絵

Procrastinating with mapping when I should be implementing a cutscene. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHYm... Hi! I wrapped up my second devlog. This one ended up being more introspective than expected, but I enjoyed making it! (Still learning.) Thanks for looking! #gamedev #gamemaker #jrpg

Hi #gamedev! Starless Umbra is a co-op JRPG inspired by Xenoblade Chronicles / Secret of Mana / Super Mario RPG, developed in my spare time. This started as a hobby RPG Maker project developed from 2002-2013, and rebooted in #gamemaker in 2020. Pleased to meet you!
