While making some improvements in my rhythm minigame and recharting the notes, I've encountered one of the funniest bugs I've ever had.
Gyoza now wants to escape! 😱

So, there's some kinda good news! You can already play the latest version of my demo here on itch!
merpui.itch.io/tiny-tied-demo
However, over the last few days, I've noticed some things that I still need to address. So an 'official' release of the update is still to come!

DELTARUNE WINTER Newsletter Time! We're sending it out now, but it takes a good while to process hundreds of thousands of emails. Fortunately there's a cheat code to look at it whenever you want. Ha ha ha ha.

I started to implement two subclasses of Entity: Player and Tile which hold different components.
First task: collision detection and resolution.

I needed a break from writing dialogue, and my game demo still has enough space for more characters.
This one had been in my head for a long time, and finally having him drawn in front of me feels really good!

Today I've put all my strength and energy (none) into the dialogue for Allyzabeth, to demonstrate her desire to meet new opponents (none)

After almost 3 months of working on Gyoza, who has WAY TOO MUCH dialog for an OPTIONAL opponent (🥲) I'm finally done with my rhythm minigame!!! 🎉🕺
The complete update with this minigame should finally be out soon!
Possibly even this year!
Maybe!

This week's progress! I spent the last few days polishing my latest game jam VN~
- the UI is now fully customized
- the minigame is more reactive and gets more difficult with each try
- I learned how to use Aseprite to add sprite variations and a new CG

Currently working in a game jam and facing my new nemesis:
Drawing a human.
What do you mean I now have to pay attention to human anatomy?? How do I draw hands?!
No thanks, I will stick to humanoid animals, demons, robots and other malformed creatures beyond human comprehension.

It's a little sequence for when something shocking happens during the court session. The audience is shown and they shout different lines. It will also use our twitch integration to let chat add their own comments (purple)
