The Weave now has three distinct Animal Crossing-style voices that smoothly adapt to both Spanish and English text. What do you think?

Thanks @zxprojects.bsky.social for your tips 😉

I’m progressing on text presentation: each character now has its own “voice,” with gibberish in the style of Animal Crossing or Sims. Voices are pregenerated using Google Text to Speech and preprocessed into short syllables that play synced with the on-screen text (work in progress)

I'm alive!
After the last public beta I took a break… and made the mistake of buying Baldur’s Gate 3. But I’m finally back!
Today’s update adds a small text flash effect (you can speed it up by pressing A)

🎉 Characters can now move at fractional speeds!
The hero walks at 1.5x speed, and the mother at 0.75x.
Sounds trivial, right?
Well, I had to rewrite ALL the movement code to use non-integer types. It nearly killed me 😵‍💫

✅ Dual color font support!

Almost everything ready for a new tech demo release with almost the brand new graphics 😎

Once I finish polishing a few final details and bugs, I'll FINALLY upload a new tech demo to Itch. Stay tuned!

✅ Almost all graphics have been redrawn since the last demo
✅ Almost all the code has been rewritten from scratch

(continued in the next post)

Finally done refactoring the entire game code (roughly 70%!) 🎉
New structures, cleaner & more robust functions — yet simple and easy to manage.
Combat is working again, with new features and lots of bugs squashed

Testing animations for the Weavers Ghosts

First test of the new hand-pixeled graphics for the introduction scene, now running on the game engine

✅ Now our forest also has both background and foreground items

First game test with all new graphics (still WIP)

❌NO stolen assets
❌NO AI graphics
✅Hand drawn and animated

✅ Xander also redrawn

Now every main character has new design and animations

More characters and animations on the go

I'm starting to enjoy doing this 😊

Also, here's some of the main character's magic animations

Testing more characters and animations. What do you think of our new characters' style?

Also, there's now a subtle magic animation over your chosen option in dialogs
