Finished! Because the deadline said so 😜 had a lot of fun with this one, first time restricting my pallets to just 8 and I really enjoyed it!

Between changing the clutch in my miata and building out this card editor, it's been a busy week! Excited to share a little bit of progress as we lay the groundwork for a project I'm really excited for.

Hello everyone, I've been quietly working on some of the tooling we will use to help build out this game to our original vision. This week that comes in the form of a card builder/editor! Here's a qui...

Now that things have quieted down (and I've got some sleep!) from the #godotwildjam... We're getting awesome feedback and we've decided to rebuild this with everything we originally envisioned for it and put it out on Steam! Stay tuned for updates!

What a whirlwind this #godotwildjam has been. A pivot starting this morning has been a ton of work but seems to be paying off! More identity to stocks, more cards, polish and some other near features

#godotwildjam continues swimmingly! Lots of new cards, card drag n drop, polish, and a new name:

#godotwildjam progress!

Still looking/feeling pretty rough, but really ironing out some of the systems now. Added "suits", stock "behaviors" and some other goodies, starting to feel sort of like a game now :)

Been a minute! Time for another #godotwildjam

First "playable" (I use that loosely) build, really rough around the edges but (I think) a good start:

Happy #PortfolioDay! I’m a pixel artist currently focusing on landscape/environment design, but I’ll draw pretty much anything.

A large keep on an oddly steep hill with a spiral path leading up to it. There are trees and meadow along with a few cliff faces wrapping themselves up along the path. It is a bright sunny afternoon in the summer with puffy white clouds scattered across the sky.

The top of a strawberry cake, but it’s a fantasy adventure and the strawberries are the size of massive boulders. Atop said boulder, is an adventurer with a cloak, staff, and wizard hat. The adventurer stares out into the distance towards a cliff that appears to have been made by taking a piece of this massive cake.

Portrait of a woman. Point of view of the camera in a selfy. There is a flat dark red background. She has long brown hair, green eyes, and a big smile. She’s wearing a red houndstooth dress with a frilly white neck under an army green jacket.

Final update! Slight balance adjustments, art tweaks, and more music. Thanks to everyone who played. Another awesome #godotwildjam experience with tons of learning. Really proud of this one!

Likely the last (code) update before submissions (and relaxation!) tomorrow. Balance, QoL additions, and fixes. Shout out to my wonderful partner for her patience as my #1 playtester 😀

More balance, QoL, tower tweaks. Need to balance the last couple of enemies but I think the first few are in a decent spot now? What do you think?!

Late update. Implemented a leaderboard, polish on the UI/enemies, implemented armor & piercing damage, several fixes, a few sounds and spent a lot of time on balance. Balance is tricky! More tomorrow.
