Parli italiano? Our game, so far in demo, has an Italian language 👏 Thanks to James Stangle for his hard work on the new localization and attention to details! 🎉 The new version is available here:

Finally the demo is done! Now version 2.0.0, because gameplay added many tasks and obstacles. The main thing now it does not cause frustration. A lot of changes, which all described on game page or in this article on Itch 👇

A couple more animations that were originally recorded as GIFs, so not posted. Movement, lighting, parallax.

What do you think of this palette? Do you think it's worth trying to make a game in this style from a commercial POV?

Hey, guys! We've 2 news. One good and one bad.
Good. Updated #tool for removing duplicate #tiles (you know, speeds up #tileset creation). Finally, added sorting, manual and automatic.
Bad. Now there are a couple bugs. But it's quite usable for work. Details here:

Updated our #puzzle #platformer. We thought that we would add a lot of things at once to make the game richer and more interesting, but we still decided not to step so wide as not to be torn up, and we delayed the more ambitious update until next time.

We recommend software for creating authentic Amiga #sound on modern DAWs, which we used for our game.

A couple words about making #music for the game, especially echo, which wasn't natively present in tracker music.

Is this true for G 4.2? 👀 I haven't switched over yet. My Godot 3.5 exe (rebuilt with nothing extra) for just a 2d app is about 30 mb. That's not very good either. But not 80 mb. Also the exe in Defold also contains engine data, or is it lying around in a separate DLL?🤔

Defold engine account published the sizes of the blank executables from #Godot and #Unity. Interesting. 🤓
