Waiting on my catalog submission for Spirit Trail, decided to noodle around with a bubble popping arcade game 🫧 Took me quite a few revisions to get a collision system that works well, but I've landed on a system that I'm happy with and runs great on device!

Spent the night redrawing the party select scene. Really happy with how it has turned out and I 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 it is the last sprite work for the game!

Managed to finish the tutorial for Spirit Trail before starting back at work for the year! The game is super close to being content complete now, just need to redo the party select scene 😵‍

Started working on the tutorial for Spirit Trail today. Really happy with the progress I've made so far setting up the text box and input system for progressing through each step.

It feels like for every item I remove from my ToDo list another 2 take its place.. But Spirit Trail is slowly crawling towards being finished! Everything I've posted of the game so far hasn't had audio, so here's a listen to how the game sounds 🔊
