The in-game art gallery is growing. Awesome @jil-hue.bsky.social gave me permission to feature some of their Sprytewood characters as guest art. Thanks, Jil!

Big fan of the way Stardew valley handles this. I imagine I'll do the same thing once I finish my game. Just add new suits and areas to explore until I have added all the stuff that I want. Hopefully.

Some progress tonight. Overhauled enemy stats system. Before the calculations were done all at once on every single enemy on the map. Now it's only done once per enemy in active range of the player. Yay for small but still interesting progress. 😆 #indiegamedev #unrealengine5
