The Witching Hour

The Witching Hour is a project I developed for the 72 hour Games Plus Jam.  The theme was “Time”, and since I’m so averse to platformers (Shovel Knight being a huge exception), I figured I’d give one a go.

The game started with the idea of a young witch, Istra, screwing up the time continuum because she thought she’d practice.  The tone is humorous and lighthearted with some heavy content mixed in towards the end, and because I loved this idea so much, I took it to my Foxtopus team.  We decided to go bonkers and actually run forward with development.

Platformer elements stay pretty traditional, but we’ve mixed things up by adding time zones.  Istra can enter one and move fast or slow depending on the zone, but the surrounding environment will also be affected.  Enemies can get crazy fast, as can your attacks!

The game is in VERY VERY early testing stages right now, but we’ll have a full demo ready for Kobe Kon in Everett, WA from July 13th to the 15th!

Check out the game page over on itch to see our downloads, and check us out on Discord!

So CreateTech is officially live on Early Access, and we are so excited to see what everyone thinks of this bizarre little construct. The team has worked insanely hard to get it to this point, and I’m so genuinely proud of it that it’s hard to put it into words. A freaking milestone indeed, and it only gets better from now until launch!! #gamedesign #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #steam #createtech #foxtopus #unity #gamedeveloper
What a freaking doozy of a shoot!! It was easily the hardest one so far and a lot went wrong (including the breaking of a sword), but I’m in love with the outcome!! It was great to finally give these figures their time to shine; it’s a game that’s been very important to me and I wanted that to show in their shoot. #nendoroidphotography #nendoroid #goodsmilecompany #animefigure #toyphotography #anime #animegirl #monsterhunter #monsterhunterworld #capcom #anjanath #rathalos #pukeipukei #rathian
A quick pixel art doodle to get back into the flow of it! I’d really like to start stretching back into more pixel pieces this month. This was with the Vini 24 palette, very low saturation. I think a tile set with it would be awesome! #pixel #pixelart #retro #ipadpro #ipadproart #pixaki #digitalart #art #artist #artistsoninstagram

DAY 31: Ripe! The journey ends with a feast of meats, ripe fruits and veggies, and fresh autumn pumpkins. The queen is saved, and the heroes have finally gotten their rest! It’s been a wild month, and I’m pretty relieved to be done. I felt the burn out hard in the middle of the month, but I kept getting those photo reminders of inktobers from years ago and it was oddly inspiring. I’m glad I hung in there, and I think it was a really fun way to debut these characters. How did everyone else’s inktober go?? #inktober #inktober2019 #ink #copic #liners #pens #traditionalart #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #kawaii #sketch #doodle #animegirl #illustration #originalcharacter #dinosaur #trex #adventure #inktoberday31
Just in time for Luigi’s Mansion 3! I will admit, this was a bit of a specific shoot for my husband and his Luigi nendoroid, and I’m really happy with it. I made the boos specifically for this, and they ended up working incredibly well! #nendoroidphotography #nendoroid #goodsmilecompany #animefigure #toyphotography #nintendo #luigi #luigismansion #kingboo #spooky #halloween #haunted
