Here's a little showcase of all the weapon components so far, and some more finely tuned post processing for the graphics.

The Shrouded Cemetery tileset is complete, now to really get started on the game. What do you think so far?

A shroud of darkness hangs heavy over the place where innocents were laid to rest.
(First under-detailed test of the new tileset)

I love this so much. More of this please.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Yes my concerns exactly! Thanks for taking the time to help, you're spot on.

StellarMantis @stellarmantis.bsky.social · 6d

Does this work for UI or is it too busy? I could add a background and see if that's better.

Thanks cheesy friend! The trick is making the fancy border for something totally different and slapping it together in a total unprecedented brain blast 🧠

I'm bad with UI so I sketched it on lined paper and put it through the threshold filter. This menu could be a good way to select components with an associated element and damage?

I've always had a fear of insects and the deep sea, so the next round of enemies will stick to this theme. Zombies and rats were not scary enough for the corrupted graveyard.

Thanks Ryan! 😁

Still drawing the graveyard area, hopefully I will be able to finish it up and put this into the engine this weekend.

You awaken on a white shore, unsure what you’ve lost.

Dark rites brought me, @ratcasket.itch.io , and @puppiesandanime.bsky.social together.

Something stirs. More soon.

Mockup of a dark fantasy game UI. On the left, an isometric view shows a tiny hooded figure in a pointed hat standing near a hut with a glowing red bonfire. The scene is painted in icy blues, sandy yellows, and mossy greens, with cliff edges and a shoreline below. On the right, a portrait of a pale witch with large dark eyes, a hat tied with red string on their head, and large metal keys through their cheeks. Below the portrait, an interface bar shows strange symbols and inventory items: a worm shaped like the infinite, a drop of blood, and a potion bottle.

Maybe I should remake this pixel art to current skill level. I love it

I must have spent 5 hours tweaking shaders today and I still don't know if I made it better! But here is Eliza's grave with fog.

It took the entire day but my mausoleum is now in Godot and looking pretty damn good. The scene is incomplete because I need some sleep, more updates tomorrow!

Thanks! I haven't really given that much thought yet as I don't have a fully playable build of the game, but after I do patreon demos for a while I will be thinking about Steam. Btw, really interesting what you are doing as well I like the redesigns!
