Surprise! There is something BIG happening right now that will heavily affect my life and Seven Ducks Studios. I probably won't be able to post much this month. But don't worry, it's something great and #ElysianEclipse will benefit a lot from it! You'll see!

The notification system is here! It will show you when you get an item or when one of your actions fails. It will also be used to display achievement progress in the future.

A creature, looking like Spamton from Deltarune, standing in a red landscaoe. There is a stack of transparent UI elements visible in the center of the screen. All of them say "Pipis + 1" to notify you that a Pipis was added to your inventory. The last element in the stack is fading away.

Many different fish and other edible sea critters can now be obtained from fishing! Additionally, new cheats to instantly acquire items and lock the time of day have been added.

A mastodon-like creature standing in a red landscape. The inventory UI is visible, showing a so called Copperfish. Its description says: "Much more affordable than a goldfish."

Who needs a fishing rod when you can just cast the line from your mouth? Fishing will be the first levelable skill and will also be used to test loot tables! And no, it won't have a minigame yet, lol.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
Blorb fishing on a beach. The line is attached to his mouth. The target display says "Fishing - Press F to Reel In" and the action bar contains a fishing ability.

Bluesky is getting worse and worse. Meanwhile the CEO is acting like a little child in response to any criticism, just like a certain Elongated Muskrat. 🧵

Uhh, we have a few problems. The EE website is partially broken in the UK (bacause of the OSA?) and I have multiple half finished game features lying around. But I'm also stressed thanks to real life stuff right now and won't be home until the 9th... Fixes have to wait, I guess...

Wahahee! In V 0.5.3 it will be much easier to position body structure parts in 3D space, allowing you to make even more complex body shapes! ...and get sued by Nintendo.

I might also make a showcase video for this.

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

Here are some new plant editor features: Seeds will allow you to pseudo-randomize some editor parts to add more variety to them. You will also be able to resize the "joints" of plant parts to completely alter their shape! www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2zB...

The plant editor prototype is a mess right now, but can already make some really cool stuff. I know there hasn't been an update release in a while, but I want to keep working on V 0.5.2 for a little longer.

A new part category, "Minerals" will be available in the hut and plant editors soon! It will allow you to decorate your creations with different rocks to better integrate them into the environment.

While we're still working on plant editor shaders and textures on Discord, I already started planning one of the editors for mediaval stage. It's already on the roadmap, but not 100% confirmed yet. trello.com/c/dmHkdJBE

I spent some time to create development tools, to help me better organize the project. Here for example, I can lookup groups of status effects to see by what abilities or environments they are caused.
