I reworked the minibosses to make it so you have to reduce their HP to catch them.

It was just too easy to catch them before. Now you have to actually fight them for a while instead of just running up to them and mashing the "catch" button lmao

Meet Specanth, the game's newest catchable monster!

Specanth's signature attack is a homing ghost that has a chance to defeat enemies in a single blow!

I've made some good progress on the ruined city of Aquillis!

Most of the map will be underwater, with a lot of inspiration from classic levels like Wet-Dry World

Whew! I finished my Monster Tamer Direct video submission, so updates should get more substantial soon (since I'm no longer working on that trailer or materials that will go into it)

Anyway, I widened the walls in Caller's Hall's sea caves!

I fixed a bunch of glitches and weirdness with the 2D maps-

the platforming works a lot better, the camera's better, etc

Myth Caller is a 90's-style platformer fused with a monster-catching RPG!

Doesn't that steam wishlist button look awfully tempting on this fine #wishlistwednesday ?

Continuing my rework of Caller's Hall, this time I remade the underground mine section!

Now the walls are wider, the ceiling is taller, and there's more detail!

Some levels have these red and blue doors that can be
permanently opened by pressing certain buttons-

but I figured that would be unfair for colorblind people, so I added more differences to the door sprites

Continuing my rework of Caller's Hall- some of the hallways have been made a bit larger so the camera has ample room to breathe!

Not that *exciting* of an update- but you can map buttons to specifically navigate menus now!

...I have to put together my trailer for this year's monster tamer direct so things might not be that exciting for a bit lmao

Meet Inch Wyrm, a monster you can make with fusion!

Inch Wyrm can ignite enemies with its powerful fire breath- and the damage from its ignitions increases the more monsters you have on your team!

I revamped a bit more of caller's hall!

Now there's more varied textures, some more details, and a crystal-powered TV!

I like adding in little shortcuts like this that connect different levels together.

This one opens up after you defeat a particular boss in the hollowridge mine

I've been reworking some of the older levels (mainly caller's hall) to better match the quality of the newer levels!

As development has gone on, the levels have been getting more detailed, so I just wanted to spruce up some of the older ones to match.

Meet Tetrodotor- the game's newest playable monster!

Tetrodotor has the powerful Armor Needle attack, which raises its stats depending on the highest stat of the enemies you hit!

I made the house that the first cutscene takes place in!

Getting the lighting right was a pain lmao

I made a bit more of the cave in Venchure!

It is more of a little connector area, so there's not much there, but I still tried my best to make it look good

It's kind of funny that this deep into development, I'm just now making the opening cutscene lmao.

Everything is stylized. Unity has a built-in lens flare maker, but to make everything fit in the game's art style, I'm doing things like that myself.

I started to make the cave area in Venchure Village!

There will be something veerrrry important hidden deep inside!

I redid the way the subtitles look, along with adding a better-looking pause screen and skip button to the cutscenes
