Red's potion throw (warning). These potions in the first game are used to destroy all of a certain kind of tile, and also do the same in Pip Puzzle for gems.

Wispy Willows' last atmosphere now. The water's animated separately.

Mt Fuji in Dystokia's second atmosphere out of 5.

🌁 A subtle haze for Dystokia's first stormy atmosphere. Also tweaked the background buildings a bit, cleaned up the light shading in the middle, and corrected some of the perspectives.

Dystokia's last atmosphere so far. The fog will shift side to side, and I might also add a general distortion effect to the stage too.

Reworking the first atmosphere for Dystokia. I'm thinking of making the background feel a bit more like Tokyo soon (Mt Fuji, Tokyo Tower, Zōjō-ji shrine, etc). Feels a little generic right now imo.

The next atmosphere will be brighter.

Comparison between all Basked Bazaar versions. Might do this for the other 19 stages if enough are interested!

Made a start on Wispy Willows' final atmosphere effects. Will probably be multi-layered.

I'm thinking something like this for Icy Excavation's second atmosphere. Blood moon symbolism's there for the last atmosphere—will also light up the walls on the side as the lava rises.

Before + after a bit of polish.

Updated the pipes and added some brise-soleil-style buildings including an observatory (second picture). I'm pretty happy with how it looks now, but feel free to critique.

Added 3D ice blocks to the minecarts in Icy Excavation to refer back to the mechanic in the original game.
Next to work on are the atmospheres (variations), including rising lava.

The last heatwave atmosphere for Basked Bazaar. Will probably make it use more intense colors, we've just been applying a red tint to it recently as a placeholder—would prefer to keep purely using Sega Mega Drive / Genesis coloring.

Experimenting a bit with that pyramid. Inspired a bit by the Luxor in Las Vegas.

Thinking the background in Basked Bazaar looks a bit too similar to Dystokia's now (generic buildings), so I'm experimenting with some different but fitting shapes here. Might give them a bit more of a curvy feel in general too, like the UFO building.

Added minecarts to Icy Excavation. I'm thinking of adding ice blocks with frozen dynamite to them, for when the lava rises.

Polishing up the buildings now so they're at different visual orientations depending on how close they are to the center. Also, moved the AC up upwards and gave it some depth.

Adding an entrance to a corridor in the bottom part to add a bit more depth. Need to fit that AC in somewhere else though.

Was also thinking earlier that this will be fun to time-lapse when it's all done.

Polished the UFO building in Basked Bazaar. Here's a side-by-side comparison.

Big things planned for Pip Puzzle this year! We recently confirmed a big guest character (technically two). There may be more that we'll show in the year!

Exciting! #gamedev #indiegames #indiegame #indiegamedev

Added a bit more flooring to Basked Bazaar's gem floor in Pip Puzzle, and a wall with a bit of a hidden entrance.

Once I get the bulk of work done, I'm thinking of including way more animated videos of the stages.

Current progress on Basked Bazaar. I'm probably going to add more Egyptian things too once the new perspective is fully dotted.

Time to apply the 1-point perspective treatment to Basked Bazaar. Especially looking forward to this one!

Bit more polish to Wispy Willows for Pip Puzzle. Time for effects now if there are no improvements to be made here.
