Isosprites

I call em isosprites since they are isometric sprites. Off all the art in my game I like these the most, yet I never want to spend time making more of them. I guess ill get all the time in the world to make them if I can get passed this project's pre-production phase (I'm sorta close... maybe I should make a checklist...) sneaky peeky behind the scenes

More WIP Inventory

I spend a lotta time tweaking designs instead of coding, which I feel guilty for... probably because my project's viability suffers a bit each time because I want it to look perfect before the first implementation... maybe ill spend a month doing quick and dirty sprints where I implement features in a week... maybe

WIP Inventory

specifically the list... My item categories have icons now. Icon design is hell but it's satisfying to have a finished set. Maybe I should try spending time brainstorming on ben and baber.

WIP results screen

I feel like i've posted these already. Sorry if the image quality sucks, I'm kinda just copying old stuff I posted on discord so maybe it's getting double compressed. I'm preemptively apologizing cuz the preview looks super blurry but I'm too lazy to do something about it. Maybe I should apologize for that instead.

WIP ui stuff

^ popups for damage context

^ new status effect badges (used to be just text) still wip

^banter boxes... suppose to give room for side comments in a way, might still be annoying to the player

^ side box for less important dialogue, maybe ill have it come out of the speaker like cross code

Game World

a few locations to say the least. I think there are 9 major cities, 10 small towns, and a lot of dungeons... I might cut some towns...

Overworld Attack VFX

ended up scraping these and changing the system...

OptOut encounters. I need to add more sound effects, an alarm sound for when one of these pops would be fitting.

trapped chests, I want to also have a teleport chest but I need to add additional zones to implement and test that, which requires me to save the state of the scene or area streaming. Yea... I have a lot of work to do.

Development Update

Hello, I made a post on TIG just now. It summarizes some future progress that hasn't been posted here. Check it out if you feel like it.

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.
