Before I go on to work on Penumbra Forest
I'll introduce you to one of the new features in Smitty 2: The Dripsdale Dex

So far, the basic functions work quite well

More than a month later, Smitty 2 is finally back in development, sorry for the wait, folks

Anyway, exploding mushrooms, or Mushbooms if you prefer, are scattered throughout Penumbra Forest, so make sure you have enough wiggle room

Update on the Town Square: Added Trevor and Bonnie's sprites (yea, everyone only has 2 frames for that cutesy "paper cutout or whatever you call it" vibe)

Just one more sector to work on, and this will be the most important piece in the puzzle

Anyway, readable signs made their return from the first game, and to add some visual flair, sectors that lead to boss sectors will feature a darker atmosphere

Drew some sillies
the boom fella from @sonargames.bsky.social Smitty's Journey and that one knife wielder from the Working Hard Collection

A special character from the third world of Smitty's Journey. Patched up with tape with a nametag that reads "fella"

A plush of an enemy type found in the Working Hard Collection (Doom Work and Blessed Work)

Originally planned to make these ghost fellas the enemies you can't defeat, but decided to make them Smitty's... accidental assists instead

Yurelumi (species name) can illuminate the pitch black darkness of caves and tightly closed areas

Bosses now show their HP in the HUD, unlike in Smitty 1
They are now more beefy than the first game, even the first boss

Speaking of, it will now always bump the player if they made contact

More update on the buttons for #screenshotsaturday:
They can also work like how they were back in Smitty 1

But instead of moving rectangles, you got emerging platforms (cuz the entire terrain was a bunch of tiles back in the first game)

Another nearly late #screenshotsaturday

A continuation of the button puzzle system seen in Smitty 1

This is one of the things that could happen once you get the puzzle right (not in this case, you can press them in any order)
