Nice work with the faked perspective, works well in the map editor!
If you need 2d animation there’s Spine (http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/spine-2d-skeletal-animation/27914/view.html) developed by one of the makers of libgdx, which hit over $50K in kickstarter. It’s not free but still pretty cheap for a professional level animation tool.
Hi!
Thanks! if you have any question anytime please ask me!
I discovered Spine a few days ago and it looks awesome, it a really professional tool. We have been talking a lot about that: should we draw all the frames or use a skeleton system?. Maria thinks that the movement can appeal more natural by drawing all the frames. Also, she is learning a lot about animation :P.
To me, the perspective that you have used in drawing the walls does not look right. In the purple picture, it seems that the perspective for the hole in the centre platform and the lowered ceiling above it have been done incorrectly. For the rest of the scene, the perspective lines are drawn back to one point, like in one point perspective, but for these two parts something has gone wrong! You should not be able to see the sides of the walls for the lowered ceiling, and the ends of the floor in the centre platform should be reversed.
Just something to consider.
Yes, I agree with you, but realize that if you try to fake 3D perspective with 2D drawings, you will have that problems allways at some point. We inspired ourselvels in games like treasure adventure world or a boy and its blob. They have that type of “bad perspectives”, but the final result is fine enough:

The artworks are so ultra nice!! O_O I really love them because of their style. The first one is really cool, but the skintight dress maybe makes her a bit too sexy. g
I also really like the rooms! The graphics look awesome! 
Hello! We’re not dead!! ;D

After several months of silence, we are back! Many things happened during this period. Maria and Néstor moved from the north of Spain to Valencia, so the full team is now together. We just set a small office and we spend a few hours everyday in the project.
The detail of Izzy’s animations has been increased. Izzy was too small, all the animations have been redone, and a few ones like ladder climbing and sliding have been added. Finally, the graphic engine has been improved with many bugfixes and some new features like a tween engine.
We decided to rework the whole graphic style. The previous house looked too depressing and we wanted a more cartoonish style.

Also, we wanted to show some of the new designs we’ve been making, not in-game images but you can see all the new background style we are creating!

From now, you will hear very frequently from us as Izzy’s Revenge just became a serious project for us.
Kisses!

The cut-out on her outfit just looks weird now. Either show more or less skin, but as it is right now, it looks like she’s wearing a cleavage decal.

Hello everyone! We’ve been talking about the cleavage issue and we’ve sketched a new design for the main character of our game. At first we started with some braces:
And then we added a t-shirt. You can see the comparison between the two designs here:
Thank you for your feedback! it’s really valuable to us!

That looks a little more realistic, and the shirt gives a little extra definition too, so she can stand in front of white backgrounds without being mostly camouflaged

This is a WIP of Izzy’s workshop. You can see some of the machines that Izzy created during the last years. What do you think?

Beyond Izzy’s house
Izzy lives in Steelbridge, a city divided by a river. The city began to gain importance following the building of a bridge which linked its two parts, defining its present name and facilitating communication and trade.
With the construction of the bridge a guild came, dedicated to the iron works, which took control over production and distribution of steam techonogy based on machinery. Three other guilds are supported by this one: the airships guild, the pharmacy guild and the liquors one.
Because of the greed of their leaders, the four guilds gathered a huge power and they own the control of the whole city.
The first guild we’re working on:
Airships guild:
The airship guild has managed to create flying machines that allow to move people and goods to remote places. It controls all flying city’s traffic.

We’ve been working these days in several concept art illustrations. What do you think about this one? It’s a poster starring Izzy and the four main bosses she has to beat. We want them to be different in their personalities and in their look.
Hope you like it! We plan to give some postcards with this same design at the London’s Campus Party!
What are the challenges going to be? Will there be enemies or will it be a puzzle solver most of the time?
I like the cute textures though:)
