More UI work!

Still piecing together what this game *could* be. I'm in a prototype and lookdev stage to get a feel of things.

What do you think?

I recently bought a house! Which means gamedev has taken a back seat while I pursue decorating 🎨

Managed to sneak in some UI work though, how do you feel about this card selection stuff? 🤔

Working on a minor patch for the game. Using it as an opportunity to add Steam's Rich Presence feature!

I really adore videos that use tilt-shift techniques. Been trying to get a similar effect with this. Pushing the depth of field and dropping the framerate.

what do you think?

New to MtG, maybe my thinking is off here...

With how each new set is released it feels like the previous sets don't exist any more. Felt like it with Bloomburrow and now with FF. Wonder what it'd take to make the current Standard feel more like an overall narrative.

How do you ask and remind players to leave a review for your game without sounding like a complete nag constantly 😭

Here's something I'm not sure I've posted on Bluesky before. Proprietary gamedev tools!

This is a screenshot of my questing node network that directly exports into Unreal Engine that determines quest dependencies. 🤓

What do you get when you cross...

❄️ Runescape with Narnia?
👨‍🌾 Stardew Valley with Isometric 3D style?
📚 Animal Crossing with deeper lore?

You get my game - Tales from The Dancing Moon! 💃🌙

Today I updated my game with some extra settings around screen resolution and fullscreen/window modes!

Plus a few bugfixes! 🐞

It's one of those things that for some reason get's overlooked, but I'm glad it's in now! 💻
