Slime channel form in game, plus an updated look at how things are coming along.

When Monster-type enemies are defeated Claire absorbs their essence in the form of skills :D

In this example, killing a Slime drains some charges of the Sticky Punch skill.

Little firey guys.

I added the juice.

Actually screw it here's an example.

All this is is a short tween on the camera's fov with the transition set to Elastic and it looks as good as any solution I could come up with lol

Brief sidequest to rewrite my status conditions system because it was causing all kinds of headaches.

UI needs a little more juice still but pretty happy with it now. God I love Tweens.

Been working on the first Miniboss, which I figured would be a good benchmark for in-battle cutscenes and event scripting. Still very WIP but here's a sneak preview :)

Been a bit busy with "Real Job" stuff but I've got Piper following Claire around in the overworld now, plus figured out a simple yet flexible system for handling cutscenes!

Dialogue boxes need a little work still but probably fine for now.

Yeah pretty happy with this lighting model. Obviously all exaggerated for testing purposes, but will make some torches or something to properly light the scene tomorrow.

It's kind of amazing that *just* adding a background makes this much difference. Need to figure out how to give the characters a little more "pop" though.

Figuring out what to do about level design and stumbled on Trenchbroom and TBLoader. Both weird and cool to know that this is effectively a Quake map in my game.

Might look into some custom lighting shaders to help it look a bit less flat.

Finally player healthbars with some nice portraits (my first time doing like actual pixel art lol). Also did a bunch of tidying up and restructuring so now your party's health and resources are actually persistant.

Absolutely nothing! There will be ways to learn what the melodies he can play are (as well as a way to reference them mid-battle) but if you get it wrong it just skips your turn.

(This part is kinda unfinished so excuse the lack of any visual flair or sfx lol)
