Howdy, I'm developing a retro-rpg heavily inspired by games like JRPG masterpieces Final Fantasy III, Bravely Default, and Sea of Stars. If you're interested, give me a follow. I'll be updating as often as I can.
Had an awesome idea for a gameplay mechanic and if I can't find a way to implement it I'm gonna delete the project.

(I won't.)

If I can implement it though, this game's whole battle system is gonna SLAP (but if I don't it'll slap anyway i promise, trust)

If it seems like I'm making less progress lately.

You're right!

Taking a bit of a break, but the game's still being worked on.

Happy I've made so much progress on this lately. (Not even kidding, beating Bravely Default put me into RPG overdrive mode for a bit.)

Though I still wouldn't expect this game to be done this year lol

The opening cutscene is coming along nicely, though I don't think I'll be giving you a peek. Can't give everything away!

Last post for today.

I thought of a method for naming the elemental spells that, if I can be a bit full of myself for a sec, I think is pretty damn cool.

If you're able to tell what I did here, you're cool too.

I really feel like I cooked with the capstone light ability. Animations are pretty much done. Now to think of actual names for all of them, then moving on to world construction!

Most skill animations are almost done...I can't wait to move on to the next phase. Even once I finish this batch of animations I know I'll have more to make for special enemies later on, but for now, I'm nearly done with animations.

This isn't even related to Crystal Camellia but I'm having a blast with Rift of the Necrodancer. Indie games are amazing.

Here's a peek at the music of Crystal Camellia! With a quick snippet of the normal battle theme, boss theme, and a cutscene theme.

80% of my free time has gone towards working on the game lately. I know I should take a break so I don't burn myself out but I'm too motivated right now.

Not a bad problem to have, all things considered!

When casting a spell you'll be shown a series of buttons on a wheel. Once you press the first button, it'll spin. The closer you get to pressing those buttons on time, the more damage you can deal.

I got a lot done in the animation department today. I'd say animations for all of the attacks are basically 90% complete. (It only took me almost a year)

If I had to guesstimate, I'd say the game is like... 10% done

Animations are taking a long time, mostly due to procrastination, I'll be real. But I'm finally almost done with those. Once I am, I'll drawing up the world map and some starting areas as well as making the enemies to inhabit those areas

First look at the battle screen.
Heavily inspired by Final Fantasy I-III.

The currently active party member is evident by whoever has stepped forward, as well as if their portrait is raised or not.

This poor little wooden man is my test dummy.

He never stood a chance.
