Nothing much new to show, but as an amateur dev this scene transition was kind of an accomplishment! Only took the morning, and I'm feeling ambitious still.

What do I add next? Honest question, as I value feedback.

Alongside Hayao Miyazaki and Hidetaka Miyazaki
one of my greatest inspirations is Mr. Rogers

I hope his gentle words of wisdom and kindness resonate with you as deeply as they do with me 🌸

Taking a while to address performance issues, I'm not sure if it's because I'm using a bootleg frankenstein'd linux machine or not but it should damn well run on a potato by my standards!

I made an enemy spawner, slapped the Graven Beast's heart on it, and now I've been using it as kind of a test dummy.
I should really get back to work. 😅

I'd be very grateful if someone on Bluesky noticed my art! I'm an experienced illustrator and also a theater artist. It's difficult for me to master a new social network. I'd be very happy to meet you all! Let's be friends!🙏🏻

Testing out pre-rendered backgrounds. Not sure if this is the way to go, but it was pretty simple to build out this small level.

There's definitely drawbacks, but it does look pretty.

QOL: mini-map

This feature is quite old, but it was removed from the demo version because it wasn't ready yet. I still need to polish it up, though :).

No new animations yet, but I am building out the map.
Could this be a small metroidvania type of map?

I've been trying so hard to make my game look great, did all I can on my own and realized I should commission some better player animations with 8 directions.

So, that is coming in a few weeks! Stay tuned 👻

Rings and amulets balanced! You can’t equip them yet, but they all do things now!

Adding in pickups for those, and the gems today.

Uh oh... I think I made Eliza far too powerful when testing elemental weakness. The Old Growth should be much scarier!

My game has evolved so much in one year, from "Shoot an ugly kitchen knife at rats 😐" to "Build your spiral shadow scythe and guess which tree will try to kill you!!😱"
