BiB//D:_R Sprites, Tilemaps, Audio, Lighting. Alden Copag and The Secret Forest

The second named character from my series has made their first physical appearance in my projects, His name is Alden Copag and he is meant to be Rins Secret Forest guide when she wakes up in his cabin after the events of the Reminiscence Web-project.

I went through some audio and lighting passes to add some depth and natural ambience to the level. some natural god rays, warm torch lighting, and a few interior and exterior audio loops I put together in Audacity. I’ve also replaced some static sprites with animated ones like the campfire and torches, added some variation between background and foreground props, and gave both Rin and Copag breathing audio loops.

I also wanted to get ahead and try out some dialog tutorials to see if I could set up a small intro with Copag, but the videos i was finding were a bit too outdated, complicated, or not really tutorials but showcases of different plugins, so ill just save it for the time being.

Tilemaps/Tilesets

I actually ended up just splitting the decoratives individually so i could just place them as objects, I intend on adding some more variety to the trees and make more bushes and grass for when i start extending the level out.

BiB//D:_r (Rin)

Bound in Blood//Diaries:_Reminiscence

A woman of average build, freshly dressed in her field wear and jacket, hair tied neatly in a bun. Her fortitude is high but still there is anxiety building within.


Nozomi Ringo (希りんご, 27) was part of a team of researchers investigating strange findings regarding the disappearance of her father, who was also a researcher in the same field. Separating from her team she revisits her families long abandoned home in hopes that she’ll find a lead to him in the remnants of her old life.

Rin is the first and main original character for an ensemble cast that started my narrative concept for a sort of anthology called Bound in Blood. Reminiscence is her story, or “Diary” in the //Diaries:_ series, Which is where the individual characters will be drawn in to the bigger narrative in each of their own ways.
