When he's not slicing up enemies or copying their data, one of the base moves that Soldier can perform is the somersault!

While dashing, if Soldier presses the opposite direction and jumps at the same time, he'll get a boost in height! #indiegame #gamedev

I did it!! It runs with zero errors, no frame rate drops, even on this like 2 year old, 300 dollar laptop I got to test games.

I did remove all the trees; I want to diversify the vegetation anyway, so I’ll just redo it.

more saving. MORE.

UI is rough, info is missing, but I just need ONE more thing done in the save system and then it’s back to the fun stuff (imps will burn, shadows will judge them).

question: what unsexy game system do you appreciate way more than it gets credit for? 👀

Setting it up so standing on a steep slope makes the player slide down, only issue now is it's based on player facing still haha

hay hay… nothing flashy today, just saving + loading magic 😂
you can’t tell I unlocked moves yet (no UI for that lol), but it all works under the hood!

tiny save files working = victory 💾✨

question for devs & gamers: what’s one feature you always test first in a game?

Need to peel myself off of iterating on the outfit for now, I think it's in a passable state. Next stop is gameplay stuff! (I swear!) ((Probably simple traversal methods, stay tuned!))

Melody-playing action part 1 (belatedly) — Dash
It’s assigned to the top and left ABXY buttons.
Pressing the top button makes the melody go up, and pressing the left button makes the melody go down.

To simplify adding buildings to the environment and avoid the "sticker" effect (where a building appears to float over the background), I created a script that automatically adds grass sprigs from the atlas along paths.
