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...

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?

Another imgur link. dang I need to optimize my gifs... Or maybe I should work in only video...?

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.

Actual turns + new active indicator.

Characters can't be revived mid-battle.

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.

posting videos on tumblr seems to be a billion times more enjoyable than trying to post them on twitter. oh and yea now the characters move a bit when they do stuff.
Jul 10, 2021
yea that's right, I made the trees move

New Isosprites
Hello, this is Ali from the future just checking in to show off these amazing new isosprites. Now you can see Jordan and Phoebe on the overworld. Way better than Alice and her two doppelgangers. The hardest to make had to have been Phoebe tho. Her hat is nuts.

cool system that lets you survive with 1 hp when you really should've died if you have a high-luck stat. also healing is in. it's bog simple stuff but I literally do not know how to code I am a master at programming.

I had to directly link these to twitter again since I saved over the originals on my hard drive. Did I mention my hard drive is almost full? Don't worry I bought an m.2 thing with another tb. I'm too scared to install it since the slot is on the underside of the motherboard.

I got so many things done during 2021. Like all of 2022 passed by and I barely refactored some of the code and continually realized how shit my game story will probably be my game will have a great story please play it when it's done
original tweet below:
AOE techniques work! I also learned the oddities of integer math recently... math is wack. -- Next up will probably be Healing? or Buff/Debuff.

sometimes I direct link to the image on Twitter. I am now realizing that might be a mistake and like a few posts might die out of nowhere. Oh well everything is preserved pretty nicely on discord
