Storm's Harvest is currently 50% off for #SteamScreamFest! Assist this gourd gathering ghoul in a retro style arcade game. Will you have a successful harvest, or not survive the night? 👻🎃🐦🐊

Trying out the @godotengine.org plugin Dialogic 2 and honestly, it does like 85% of what I need it to out of the box, so I can't complain. 🐦

Basic encounter areas, scene changing, and data persistence between battles 💀🐻🐊

Version two of the main battle theme. I extended the length more and added another section, so hopefully it won't be as repetitive over a long period of time. 🎵

And with that, we have a basic walk cycle (AND character swapping)

Doing research on persistent data in @godotengine.org and it seems that the two camps are either keeping the information in a constantly present global, or saving and loading resource files as necessary, and I would love suggestions about the merits of both in an RPG.

Recently finished work on the initial drafts of walk cycles for our upcoming crew of heroes.
If all goes well, these should be our last major sprites created in Adobe Fireworks.
The end of an era indeed.

These are sheets of pixel art used to animate four characters walking around. 1: A skeleton dressed in purple. 2: An orange bear. 3: A red panda in a chef outfit. 4: A little yellow wizard boy.

Getting our artist to finally switch from Adobe Fireworks (a software discontinued in 2013) to the version of @aseprite.org I compiled for him is a big win for productivity.

Made a much needed QOL feature of adding in more options for the onscreen controls.🦆🎮

Well, I've officially got color options for the background on mobile. Trying to keep it nice and simple 🦆🎨

The most useful thing I've discovered is it was really useful to add the camera to a a control node (which I've been naming Lakitu for reasons) to automatically move the camera to adjust to the screen size because control nodes have WAY more built in to do that automatically.

Working on something. Having to do a lot of work with control nodes so it resizes and scales properly😮‍💨Also, using buttons from the goat @kenney.nl which work great🦆

I’ve been working on the map for our next planned project. I’m using the tile-set from FF1 as placeholders for the time being, to be replaced with my own sprites down the road. 🧙‍♂️🐻

One of the things I'm trying to test out in the most recent update is a "dark mode" palette which I've named "chalkboard". It works SOME of the time, but I will need to refine specific sprites to better work with it more. 🦆

It has come to my attention that there was a bug preventing users from accessing the last 5 bonus levels. I apologize for anyone this has effected, but it should now be fixed.
