It's an isometric, JRPG-inspired, exploration game. All about a rather peculiar exam.

Shot from another one of the battle stages you can explore like a dungeon. The art for this stage was a big Vagrant Story homage, and was a lot of fun to do. I had to write a custom shader to get the border fog right. #srpg #jrpg #indiedev #gamedevelopment

So I decided to revisit my old slash shader. This new version is quite ideal, if I ignore the little things haha. I'm a bit shocked at how much I've improved. I can't wait to start putting some of these effects into my games.

I've set up most of my negative status effects to persist outside of battle. Like the poisoned status in Pokemon does. I'm also tweaking some of my weather conditions so that they can passively apply negative status effects.

In pearlessential, I want to have party members sometimes be available to talk to in the world. I added this 'doppelganger prevention' system to help with that.

I felt really good about this level as I was sketching it, but I'm unhappy with how it obscures itself. Wish I noticed that when I was sketching lol.
