✦ I'm making pearlessential!

It's an isometric, JRPG-inspired, exploration game. All about a rather peculiar exam.

feels kinda magical to have the dialogue system talk to the game beyond filling the box.

added a box the player can ride along predefined paths. Some of people call it a minecart.

my game has zero bugs because I'm a really good programmer that never makes mistakes. In the 1 in a billion chance a bug did get through, I would catch and fix it instantly. There is no way I would spend weeks drowning in my codebase. haha... couldn't be me...

I now have a system that lets the game restructure the player's party. I also added some features to enforce layouts by restricting party editing. I don't plan to use them too much, but I think I'll need em for some narrative bits.

Shot from another one of the battle stages you can explore like a dungeon. The art for this stage was a big Vagrant Story homage, and was a lot of fun to do. I had to write a custom shader to get the border fog right. #srpg #jrpg #indiedev #gamedevelopment

I don't know what this feature is called but I've seen it in some metroidvanias. Unicorn Overlord has it too, which is what convinced me to add it to my game. I think it's a nice utility thing to have.

It's been awhile since I made this miasma effect, but it remains one of my favourites. Although maybe I should try animating the decal under it...

Been trying to work on interiors lately, but I keep blanking on what sorta furniture to add haha. I need to find more references

So I decided to revisit my old slash shader. This new version is quite ideal, if I ignore the little things haha. I'm a bit shocked at how much I've improved. I can't wait to start putting some of these effects into my games.

TIL how to (properly) distort UVs with a texture. Turns out I've been doing it wrong for a while...
