Finally moving on to drafting the UI out! Here is the current design of the health and magic meter, and how the VFX appears. Try to keep either from going empty!

Lets try this out!
We are a small team working on a character-focused, hand-drawn metroidvania. Build a party of colorful characters and fight to save a dying world!
If you wish to support us, please wishlist our game on Steam!

So, due to an accident with how party member attacks are coded, it was found that you could pogo off of them!
After a short discussion, we decided that this should actually stay as a full feature. Excited to see what kind of sequence breaking this leads to!
#gamedev
#indiegame
All of the party members that join you on your journey can be a very useful asset to have in combat! Call them in battle and constantly look out for new ways to utilize them!

Dewborne Dawn is an upcoming character-centric metroidvania that is around 70% funded on Kickstarter, and we could really use the support in getting us across the final stretch!

Been working on getting a lot of the UI completed, since that was put on the backburner for a while. Stuff like the "interaction" UI that pops up when you get close to an NPC you can talk to, or something you can interact with.

#metroidvania
While it can be a difficult task to do, if you deplete a boss's stamina enough, you'll open them up to flashy One-Hit KOs!
Please consider pledging to the Kickstarter! We are over 50% towards the funding goal. Link down below. 🙏

Trying to decide what should happen when the player jumps off the edge of this cliff in the Kezmer Village. Should it be a shortcut to another "room" in this region? Should the player be brought back to the top with some health loss? Something else?

The final week of the Kickstarter starts now! If a character-focused, beat-em-up metroidvania sounds like something you would enjoy, come and check us out! The exclusive physical rewards will never be produced again!

10 days left, and 75% funded! I know we can make it! Kickstarters generally have a burst of activity in the final week, especially the last 48 hours. Thank you for getting us this far. Don't give up hope!

One of the upgrades you can find in the game is the drill! We haven't added its functionality just yet, but this drill will allow you to clear things that are too tough for your sword to cut through!

In Dewborne Dawn, there are separate buttons for both "light" and "heavy" attacks. For example, if you are in the air:
"Light Attack" + "Down" = Pogo attack
"Heavy Attack" + "Down" = Slam attack
Please help support our Kickstarter! Link in the replies.⬇️

One of the upgrades you can find on your adventure is a grappling whip! 😮
It's still a work-in-progress, but we hope you get HOOKED to it's usefulness! 😏

Strike an enemy with a strong enough attack, and they will bounce off the ground from the impact, giving you an opportunity to continue the onslaught!

🔆Dewborne Dawn🔆
A world beset by a dire curse. A final haven built from a god's dying breath. A mysterious child, bearing a heavy burden.
Recruit, befriend, and call on allies to help combo, juggle, and fight in this hand-drawn

The countdown continues! Four days remain until our Kickstarter goes live! Can't wait to show you some of the awesome rewards we have put together!

While keeping yourself airborne is often a safe bet against many normal foes, bosses are a whole different story! Stay on your guard, because they can almost always find an angle to attack from!

Aestra has reluctantly joined the fight! Recruit her, and summon her in battle for a delayed burst of magic at enemies closest to you. These orbs will pop enemies up for a chance at continuing combos!

When dashing, you can either just utilize a regular dash, or use up some of your mana bar to "infuse" your dash, and give it special Invincibility Frames during its duration.
An infused dash will always have Dew glowing blue!

Just want to take a minute to make a more personal post, away from the Kickstarter. My wife just gave birth to our first child last night (a boy!), and I just can’t express how grateful I am. This year has been such a challenge, but it all feels like nothing when I hold him.
In an older version of the game you were able to cancel attacks with... attacks. ⚔
Resulting in... a lot of attacks. 😥
Soon on Kickstarter:👀

BIG Announcement!
We are finally getting the dialogue system into place, and are putting together a trailer for the game that will showcase it with voice work. If you are an interested VA, please keep a lookout for the Casting Call soon!

✨UPCOMING PAID CASTING✨
I’ll be helping cast for Mythwalk Studios‘ new game Dewborne Dawn - a 2D Metroidvania with a fantastic host of characters!
Keep an eye out for a casting call! And take a look at the wonderful artwork from

Time for a good ol' fashion countdown!
In 5 days, our Kickstarter will be going live! Can't wait to show you the trailer we have cooked up, as well as the crowdfunding rewards! We would have never gotten this far without your support!

12 hours remaining on our Kickstarter, and only 4.5K left to go until our Stretch Goal of full voice-acting for all significant characters!
Please help back our metroidvania now before its too late!

Looks like Kickstarter finally gave Dewborne Dawn the "Projects we Love" badge, 5 days before the campaign ends, lol. Better late than never I suppose. 🥴
Only 7K left until funded! We are so close!!!!

Shoutout to months ago when a bug was found allowing players to pogo off of attacks from their own party members, but it ended up being so fun that we are making it a full feature!
Please consider supporting us on Kickstarter:
#gamedev
#metroidvania
Even if, for some reason, the Kickstarter fails, I can die happy now knowing the creator of Dust: An Elysian Tail, Dean Dodrill, gave my project a shout-out.
In Dewborne Dawn you can:
- Explore a dying world ravaged by a deadly disease!☠
- Air juggle enemies like in a fighting game!💪
- Summon friends in battle to extend your combos!🤝
- Enjoy beautiful hand-drawn animations!🎨

Even though we have reached our funding goal, this campaign isn't over just yet! Now it's time to reach for the Stretch Goals!
With the huge momentum we have had this week, there is a chance that we could reach all of these and more!
#gamedev
#indiegame
#kickstarter
Added some stuff to the Stretch Goals. I'm not saying we are going to reach them or anything, but I've heard that the last 48 hours of a Kickstarter can get a little crazy with the surge of activity sometimes, so you never know...👀

Not everyone views you as a hero in the Final Bastion. Some see you as a byproduct of the Spiritblight, or worse, as a direct cause to it. There is no way that is true though...right?
Please help us reach our Kickstarter goal:
#indiegame
#metroidvania
Feels good to get back to game dev after that short break!
Would love to start focusing on getting more of the narrative and world set up, so first thing on the list is getting these base dialogue animations finished!
#gamedev
#indiegame
Your party members can be called to support you in battle. They do have cooldowns so use them wisely, preferably to extend combos! One such example is Rakell, who will grab enemies and pull them into a spinning attack when summoned.
#gamedev

#indiegame
The next stretch goal has been achieved! I am super excited to announce that the comic series is a go!
These web comics will cover the background of many important characters in the series, as well as the events that led up to the current game's setting!
#gamedev
#indiedev
Enemies will be immune to knockback or interruptions until you stagger them with heavier attacks, such as the last strike of any standard attack string.
Once you do stagger them though, feel free to knock them around to your hearts content!

We are currently working on a drill upgrade, serving as a traversal tool and a handy weapon in combat!
We are still undecided on the impact VFX for it though. 💥
Which one do you all think looks the best?🤔

#indiegame
The current iteration for how cutscenes will play out. I am happy with how far the dialogue UI design has come, but there are still some improvements in the backlog that we plan on adding later!

Only two days now until the Kickstarter! On a separate note, you should totally come and join the discord! We are going to be having a bit of a launch party when the Kickstarter goes live. Link in bio!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the team here at Mythwalk Studios! I can't wait to show you all what we have planned for 2024, now that the Kickstarter has reached its funding goal! It's looking to be an awesome year!
We will be introducing a new character each day this week! We will be holding VA auditions for this new character batch soon, so look out for that as well!
First off, we have the overzealous Satyr monk, Talik!
