Working on giving fire damage a real identity
Damage over time? AOE + Damage over time? Explode on death? Or maybe all of the above?

After a bit of a hiatus, started working on combat details. Are we liking enemies blinking white when taking damage?

I got inspired by Nier: Automata and added another major feature to the gameplay - perspective swap!

The game switches to 2D "metroidvania" mode when entering certain parts of the map. What do you think?

Amazing comments Robert - thank you!
Yeah I definitely agree that VN fans are really accustomed to the bite-sized texts unlocked with each button press. I was thinking that each "paragraph" being unlocked with button press, with the printing being dynamic would be a good compromise

Happy #screenshotsaturday!
Added an in-game reader for long text. Do you prefer the visual novel style or flipping through full pages?

You're right! It's very high on list of consideration

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone!
This week - motion improvements, vaulting, grapple. Other than basic running and jumping, which abilities make exploration exponentially more fun?

Cutting wood with a plasma cutter felt weird, so I fixed it.
Now it feels more natural 😅🔥 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #emergentgameplay

New mechanic: Frozen status ❄️
When an enemy reaches three stacks of "Chilled" status, they freeze and explode on death applying Chilled stacks onto nearby enemies. Chain reaction!

Working on enemy chilled state. If they're killed in this state, they'll shatter. Don't you love frost magic? ❄️🌨️

Don't you love seeing your spells get more OP over time?

Still iterating on the main character's design, this is the latest. What should we name her?

The work it took to set up a framework for 3D spatial audio was TOTALLY worth it

This is more of a rhythmic texture 🎻📯

When it comes time to code dynamic music, will probably have to write more pieces like this at multiple layers

Is it really so much to ask for a fantasy game with multiple factions and a built in reputation system? A game with deep lore and robust magic system.

Huge towns to explore. Big world.

A man can dream. 😌

Added: NPC charge ability 👺💀⬅️ 🏹🤠

I don't know what to do about the numbers, there shouldn't be this many hits going on in a regular battle but if I there's a "summoner lord" build I guess it's worth thinking about early on.

TY 😁
The digital audio workstation (DAW) is where you write the music, I'm using Reaper for this. There is a whole ecosystem of companies that sell DAW instruments, in this example it's by Musical Sampling. I can go into more detail in DMs if you want to deep dive into the topic!

I forgot to attach death scripts and their attack cooldown is ridiculous but I'm surprised the skellies scripting works in groups on the first try 🤔
