Hud update! I've also set up the map so it only shows rooms you've visited, which makes for better gameplay but worse screenshots, so I've turned that off here.

There are now different room layouts and it remembers whether or not you've cleared rooms. It also generates boss rooms (which are always connected to just one room) and treasure rooms - but right now those are just empty.
It might be getting to a point where I could start making actual art soon.

And now it's a real map! Sort of. Sadly I have to go to bed now and won't be able to touch the game again for a few days. It's been fun, though :)

Now I can generate little dungeon maps. This was simultaneously easier and harder than I thought it would be.

Starting off, critters now have stats and levels, and damage dealt is displayed.

Alright, some people wanted to see the early stages, so here we go. Real-time critter combat, where you don't control your critter directly, but instead give it orders and lead it around the stage.

alright, here's some early design stuff. none of it is final at this stage and I'm especially going back and forth on how I want to handle colors for the project as a whole.
that said, enjoy my first attempt at a critter evolution line!

I put together a little prototype thing. not sure yet if it'll become anything past this point, but maybe.

I spend so much time starting projects that require weeks before I can even show them, months if not longer to finish, with dozens or even hundreds of animation frames for every character.
So it was nice to take a break from that and finish something in a day and a half, without animating anything.

For #screenshotsaturday, here's another game which I've recently decided to stop working on. But it's okay, I've gotten something even cooler in the works!
