🌤️ Choose your moment of battle!

This is our take on day cycle icons. Choose the time of day for each stage, from dawn to midnight!

☀️ Lighting and 🌧️ weather shifts the feel and mechanics of combat, letting you customize your ideal arena!

Really cool visual! I don't know why but this makes me think of Metal Gear Solid for some reason 😆❤️

⚔️ Basic attack actions rundown part 1!

💥 Slash: A vertical strike that hits 1 tile but deals extra damage
🔪 Slice: Sweeps multiple tiles based on weapon size

🔗 Chain them for fluid 2-move combos that feel so good in motion! 😎

Super cool! Good luck, think it would be phenomenal if a gaming song won a Grammy award 😆🙏

Can someone please clarify what part(s) of the new guidelines people are upset with?

Never thought about it like this before! I think this definition absolutely makes sense ❤️

Also high-five fellow solo dev! 🙌

But to answer your question, 💯% yes it's making level creation so much easier and scalable, because we have absolute control of everything! Not sure about the pre build stuff, as this is really custom tailored to our game 😄

Maaaaan, if I could show you how difficult it was to build levels back when we were using GameMaker's default room builder, to have a fraction of the things we're doing now ☠️

Actually, here is a visual of what one of our rooms used to look like, not even sure how many layers lol

🧩 Tiles can now smoosh into other tiles!

Still interesting glitches (WIP 😅) but it's working and opening up so many new possibilities for the world! 🌍

Can’t wait to push this further! 💡

✂️ Tile cutting is live!

Now tiles play nicely with object assets so we can smush them together for some wild combos 🤩

Next step: smushing tiles into 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴! Can’t wait to break… I mean, 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥… new worlds with this! 🔥

No worries! I would love to give everyone an opportunity to experience it, even if you missed it in the 90s! 😄

🕹️ Who else misses old-school LAN parties?

Gonna bring that energy back with Manifest Destiny Online -- multiplayer made for real-life and virtual co-op! 🎮

Don’t know how we’ll do it (modern consoles don’t make it easy), but we're gonna do it! 🚀💾

Hmm no, I honestly haven't used Blender much!

That sounds very useful though and would probably indeed make things more efficient! Thank you for sharing! Definitely gonna have to try that 😄

That is also manual ☠️

I just go by eye on what I feel makes sense according to the pixel art, and plot each point for each triangle. It's not so bad since it's just on the X and Y axis 😄

Love the shadow on the bottom part of the mask! Looks really good! ❤️
