Here's the new trailer for Shobatsu, showing much of the visual and technical progress that has been made since the last time. #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #Gameplay

I'd like to thank everyone who played the demo, particularly those who provided feedback. This has helped me a lot! Before I can implement the ideas I got though I'll take a break as these last weeks have been quite arduous.😴 #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #gameplay

Many people have suggested to tone down the demo's boss since he is way more powerful and relentless than the other enemies. In a couple of days I should release an update addressing this and other issues. #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #gameplay

Thank you Savino for the thorough and fair review, I really appreciate it! I've taken notes and will work to improve the areas you mentioned.👍

Shobatsu's demo is now available on Steam! You play as the young ninja Ritsu through one full stage with plenty of enemies and one boss. If you enjoy beat'em ups, give it a try. All feedback is welcome.👍 store.steampowered.com/app/3…

There are plenty of features in the game that I never mentioned before, such as this roll up/down move which was inspired by Streets of Rage 3. 😎#indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #gameplay

The demo is undergoing exhaustive testing to make sure no bugs, however minor, will remain. Here's one of the battles players will find along the way. #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #gameplay

I've changed the promo art in Shobatsu's Steam page to a more impacful style and also to give Ritsu proper prominence. I just hope all that red won't make people believe the game contains too much violence. 😇#illustration #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev

I've added the option for players to throw away the special weapon, resulting in massive damage to all enemies unfortunate enough to be in its way. #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #Gameplay

This running animation of Mira started as just another study like many others but I decided to complete it with coloring and other finishing touches. Hopefully I can fit it into a trailer or a cutscene in the game. #animated #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam

Combos have become a lot more satisfying to perform with a few tweaks in the code. Finally, the large variety of moves each character possesses can be chained smoothly into devastating punishments. #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #Gameplay

Ritsu will get a new special attack for the demo. It will be quite devastating against enemies while also taking a heavy toll from the player so it can't be used often. #indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #Gameplay

In Shobatsu your enemies will be either ninjas or nefarious underworld creatures so turning off the lights will bring you no advantage whatsoever.....but you can still do it.🙃#indiegame #anime #IndieGameDev #Steam #Gameplay

Illustration of the Red Kunoichi. She might seem to be just another enemy but for me she is special as her design was the first to get fully animated and become part of the game. As a result, she set the standard for many other characters. #art #indiegame #anime #Steam
