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. 😅

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.

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 👻

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!!😱"

The Old Growth follows. Don't fall for its tricks!

The camera bounds are not set yet, but I will show some of this area for tonight anyways. The new shrine is a reliquary where you might set passive abilities like the tentacle whip or crows.

I feel like I'm actually going insane designing this level. The dual tileset action is mind boggling, and I may need a third. Why can't GIMP handle higher file size so I can use one file?

Removing the purple CanvasModulate filter for my game did wonders for the clarity and hue variation. What do you think? Can I focus on gameplay now and call the graphics done?
