Of course, it already looks nowhere close to what I showed here since I had to add saving and loading and -stuff- but... hey, the system works, and it works great!

Most of this is Dialogic's base functionality. But a good foundation means it will be easier to build over it.

I can't wait to show off more.

The story follows Hektor, the healer, as he and his pack are thrown into a world-ending crisis.

Said video essay, if anyone is interested! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze1v...

On the bright side, I have figured out a Darkest Dungeon-like dungeon generation algorythm with parameters for minimum rooms from entrance to exit.

So that'll be a cool project for next time!

It's always funny to try and explain this project.

"Slay the Spire but furry and horny. Also, it has an overarching plot."

I ended up making a fairly big change on the combat system to help make it feel more unique.

This will likely happen with the map/exploration bits later too... I'm excited to show it off once I get something going!

Trash, my beloved...

Might as well make use of the suggestive tag, because this is as SFW as this nasty fucker gets.

Also... Kobull? Kobuld...

I can't decide on what his dick should actually look like...

For now, what I want to share is... this is a deity that causes and encourages a state between quiet-minded beasts (Animals) and loud-minded beasts (People). Imagine Lycanthropy, but both animals and people can be affected by it.

Sometimes progress comes in terms of lore.

A new deity, a higher order one. Their following, considered a cult. And their actions on the world as a whole.

They have no proper name yet, nor does their following. But those are details that will be solved next time I have time to think.

For now, I've been focusing on some UI Elements. And writing. Writing so much.

Making a Visual Novel in Godot was definitely a choice. But the RPG/Card Game Elements I want to include into Wanderlust can't really be hacked into Renpy in a healthy way. Or a way that looks and feels how I want it to.

Dialogic does a lot of the heavy lifting, but... god, save files.

Little steps. Every day. Maybe an hour, maybe two. I've decided to enjoy the journey and just don't worry about how long this takes.

Some days I write scenes, some days I write code. I'm putting off drawing the characters for now. But I'll get to it eventually.
