I just got my copy of Chibi Monster Brawl! Such an awesome looking cartridge! I'm excited to play it!

Today marks the start of the second round of beta testing—this time on console! 🎮 Console testing comes with a challenge: if I hit an error, I'll lose my save when I reflash the cart. But with all the updates and fixes in place, I’m hopeful this round will be smooth!

For me, one of the hardest parts of game dev is figuring out what to post, or remembering to communicate at all. That said, Happy New Year! Thanks to all who have supported this game so far!

Here are some Light From Within screenshots!

I added a game completion percentage and a death counter to the in-game map! For the death counter icon, I found a skull or tombstone to be tonally inconsistent, so I went with a feather and added a falling feather to the death animation.

My NES game Light From Within is in beta! Currently playing through the game from start to finish for the first time and crying every time I find a new bug!
