I just played your game and beat taurus. Got me laughing with the "almost dark souls", lol.
First of all, good job starting out with the dark fantasy genre, as it looks a bit underrated in the indie game zone, I see much more standard fantasy then dark fantasy ones.
I think you have the potential to heard towards a Blasphemous-like direction, get this shit more and more darker to get a dark metroidvania.
So, tho' the art looks decent I think you good keep working on it. I'd say to try finding a cohesive sound pallete for the SFX. Also, I'm not really sure if the 8 bit fits in there.
I have a couple of dark fantasy boss theme songs you can download for free (just attribution needed). If you feel you'd benefit from that, you can access the "Free Fantasy Music Pack" on my Itch profile page. Perhaps "Eldritch The Torturer" or "The Weeping King" could fit your game. If you've got a female boss down in the road you could use "The Bestial Queen".
Game dev is something more of a "support hobby" that I do to showcase the assets I make (drawing is my primary hobby). Like today I uploaded both a shoot them up game with the parallax assets I made for the past week or so. The game is here to show the asset.
That being said and to get back to your question, my current plan is to update the cosy room maker with Christmassy assets (how original I know), maybe add the shower room. Then I'll probably do another darksoul boss (artorias or capra demon for the boss and a 1h sword/mace/hammer + shield for player skin).
I also have a plan to make a very simplified FF tactics/vandal heart clone (1 map only) to showcase some 48x48 character assets I have
You've got some cool assets. So you're more of an artist. I'll follow you just in case there might appear an opportunity for collab work such as game jams and stuff!

Thanks man, I downloaded the pack and I'll listen to your suggestion later today
Cool. What's your plans in terms of game development as of now?
