lots of behind the scenes tweaks today. i added an intro objective to the ruins as a few people thought you could attack without the weapon. i also fixed up soem text overlap in the text boxes, though the font still need a bit of work.

polishing up the boss death state! They now syphon your soul in order to heal themself, limiting you to three chances per atempt, lest you wither away entirely. someone also suggested degrading the ui over time wich I may also try

finally figured out how to add a custom font thanks to the help of FReDs on the pico8 discord! It definetly still needs some work, if you have any suggestions on how to make it more readable please let me know!

Map story is implamented! Still needs a bit of cleanup just like the bazzar but I wanted to get it in the game so it was at least there. Text is still real weird in pico8. hope youre well!

Spent today implamenting the new writing for the bazzar! theres lots of weird hickups if you edit the text in a docs program and paste it into pico8. jsut gotta make sure text actualy fits in the textbox then its onto the map writing!

Thank you thank you! And yeah text is a bit cumbersome with it lol, it just takes a bit of managing though
