Working on the main menu and the character select screen in my rhythm-roguelike game Cantale.
Now like all good roguelike games, you can set your seed for different runs!

Probably 90% of my artistic ability lies in copy paste and Kritas default brushes, but at least I can make this wood background texture in a few minutes.

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Here is a WIP of my new title screen, still want to add a little bit of animation and tweak some colors. Stay tuned to find out what lurks on the island in my game Cantale ^_^

Added custom note colors last night! Now the player can pick one color and the game will automatically assign four contrasting tetradic colors for the notes and buttons. Sorry to anyone who really wants a rhythm game with only four bright pink buttons.

Took me playing some other rhythm games to realize I somehow never even thought to give the player a grade for each battle they complete. So we have that now!

A very minor change but adding feedback when the player is holding a note helps a lot

Wish I got to add more this week but at least we now have a nifty little bar at the bottom of the screen that shows your song progress.

Finally adding customizable keybinds to my game which I should have learned how to do a while ago.
I feel like not many rhythm games let you do it, but now everyone gets to make their own control scheme, no matter how terrible it is.

A friendly reminder to those showcasing your game to write the CORRECT controls for the player. Not making that mistake again (hopefully)

This #screenshotsaturday I wanted to share a couple of the other map locations that the player can find in my game Cantale.

Yesterday I added a retractable legend with all the map tiles in my game. Hopefully players are curious enough to find it on their own.

Finally got a chance to work on the attack animation for my game. As the player hits notes, orbs are generated and hurled at the enemy >:)
