This is looking great!

Avalon Lee | Zenogaias @avalonlee.bsky.social · 1d

There's so much I get to say in Zenogaias that's personal, about those we love, our collective fears, what we stand for, what we accept, and how our identities shape our reality.

And, I get to say all of that while having a ton of fun designing gameplay, locations, and bosses.

I love game dev.

It's #WishlistWednesday and here's a little update on Zenogaias as well. I've got a lot done the past two weeks, particularly with Episode IV. While I may be a bit quiet, it's because I'm deep in dev.

A few revamps on the action system, especially how cover works.
This time, anyone (in this case, Beryl) can take cover behind Hazel who acts like a wall in this game

Had an idea today for a battle mechanic today. Before there were no critical hits but now if you attack just as an enemies attack bar is full you’ll deal extra damage. Careful though cause attacking an enemy while its attacking will miss #indiegame #rpg #pixelgames #retrogaming #gamedev

During Episode IV, under the moon's softened glow a decision is being made that will forever alter the Balance of things...

Something epic this way comes.
