tl;dr: minigames and quests progressing, a bunch of animations WIP, working on tree-tops zone
Continuing the ground-forest/farm work, it's mostly functional but I'm hoping to expand it a bit more. I've worked on the tree-tops section, too, both assets and the Spider Lady.

The estimates in each section are guesstimates, and the work may take less or more time. We're currently 2 weeks in.
The Steam page is finally up! This means you can wishlist and/or follow the game there. This page is for the 'core' game - I'm hoping to add DLC there too, if possible.

Fort Gloom is now done with 4 new entities - 1 boss, 1 special, and 2 normal entities, as well as a new spell, new blessings and another slot, more outfit pieces, bugfixes, and various improvements. Check the Discord - it was there a few days ago but I've just released a bugfix update to that and if you prefer a more stable build I recommend sti...

Now that we're back to normal progress updates again, here's a quick reminder of what's coming in the Fort Gloom part 2 test build:
Looker Eye major boss
Bruiser Ghost special entity and ghost hunting quest
Sewer section below the castle
Finger beam spell (shoot a beam of magic)
Hey! This'll be a quick update. The first Insider-tier test build is available, and you can participate in the Discord. This is testing content in the first dark sub-region, Fort Gloom. There are new entities and plenty of changes.

If you'd like to try new content early I'm doing the testing in Discord. The new content we're testing: a new sub-region, three new entities, a timed obstacle course, a new upward dashing spell, new blessings, player dialogue faces, and more. Plus some old regions have been changed and added to, like a new frog swamp area.
tl;dr: most new entity animation work is done with some sprites left, split-screen co-op mostly works, per-outfit-piece dyeing and textile patterns, tweaks and improvements to old content

I'm gonna mark this as done, because it's just fine-tuning left, I no longer need to focus on this...

Hey all!
The first thing I want to get out of the way is that I'm gonna delay the public Itch demo release some more. Instead, I want to focus on doing another Test Build in the Discord, meaning you get new content faster instead! I'll still be working towards a public Itch demo release and Steam page, of course, but it will take some more...

If you haven't seen already, an early test build has been released for those who opt-in to the Testing role in the Discord! I've also changed my page/dev name as you might've noticed - I've been meaning to do that for a while now, and I finally found the time to do so.

Play-fighting
I've got three new moves here, bringing the total 'mostly finished' to 7. I've also got one more that's halfway there, and another that's very early. 2024-02-06 22:35:39 +0000 UTC View Post
