the overworld hud looks kinda like this but better since I cannot program something first for the life of me before making art. Although since it looks nice in the future I have high hopes for when I eventually put it in the game.

Bam, isometric character controller with followers (the followers aren't all that cool and I had to make compromises, but whatever)

this might not look all too impressive but I busted my ass of making this and with it done I finally started working on the field map (I call it the overworld but that's due to a misconception on my part)

Yea that's right, I want my game to have an adventurers guild with ranks. I'm going to take my sweet sweet time explaining the rank system to the player even though it will barely differ from the speech given in every trashy isekai made since 2018. Recently I redesigned the rank insignias (I was bored and didn't want to code) sneaky peaky

If twitter dies and I didn't punt everything over in time, just know that I post everything on discord first. If discord or my hard drive dies, that's when I'm screwed (I really should back up the project tonight or something)

Another day another mockup, even though I feel like I got nothing done in 2022 I guess maybe it was just the year of the mockups?

Enemy design is delightful, but it's better if I come up with a story first... did you know writing is hard? I literally have to learn everything when it comes to this and it's nuts that some of it was actually taught in school but I didn't listen.

ngl these old mockups are cringe. What's worse is, I know they're cringe since I end up redesigning them in the future... but the redesign isn't in the game either (although I'm working on it so I can push a new build) Speaking of builds if you join the discord server you can play them (if I haven't switched anything up by the time you read this) you should join and watch me get the slowest percent speedrun world record for indie game development. I would put a link here but it's 1 am and I have like 30 more twitter posts to push over onto here.

It was around the 1 year anniversary since development started when I originally posted this and it totally slipped my mind. Hopefully I do something for the 2 year anniversary, but i'm busy and it's technically now (Feburary) Welp, I always have next year

This was a quick and dirty test but, it was the best I could do. 2D VFX is really hard if you don't want to draw every frame and you don't know how to use shader graph shiz and whatever. I hope I can do better in the future, but uh technically I'm future me and I haven't touched VFX since...

While the ecg minigame thing is cool, it is literally a placeholder I think. IF SOMEONE would program an inventory I would let you use an item for free in between waves instead of trying to catch a heartbeat.

yes I put QOL features in instead of basic functionality like an inventory, or a flee button.

...never make art first? Nah if i didn't do the art I would actually have zero motivation to code. This is like really basic stuff for a jrpg/rpg but I guess it only took 6 months?

Punting everything over from twitter is a bit tedious. At least reposting everything slowly gives me time to make things I should've made while wasting time... I guess?

Oh yea I guess take a look at this super old UI, it looks different now... in the future. Well if I ever get to implementing it instead of tweaking it left and right

my super wack workflow, ngl even though it's okay I want to redraw all the characters, but it will screw up the scale of the enemies and environment unless I redraw them with a similar size and proportion, but if I do that, did I really redraw them?

Sorry for the imgur link, my gif was too chonky. Which makes sense I guess since it's a 30-second-long textbox that needs some of it's messages pruned.

Good ol screen shake, shake amount is relative to the relationship between damage and current hp. It will shake more the closer DMG is to Current HP, and even more, if DMG is greater than it.

a bug, this is not intended behaviour, tbh pretend you didn't even see this. My game has zero bugs, this is self-sabotage posted to make you think my game is buggy.
