Something about forest dungeons... forest mazes... beware, beware... the secrets of the mushroom forest...? 🤔

Showcasing a bit of the user interface for players, to show how Stagnant Gold is a COMPLETE RPG experience!

Equipment screen, Shop screen, Action screen, & Bestiary screen! Tons of different equipment and action load-outs!!

I think they'd be good friends (in therapy).

Now I just need to find a way to contact @mortisghost.bsky.social to ask if I can add The Batter as a secret superboss in Stagnant Gold.

New title screen for Stagnant Gold!!

The coolest thing ever I want to add is several illustrated cutscenes to complement the very minimalist graphic style of the game! 🤩

Inspired by OFF, Omori, In Stars and Time, and the likes! 💜

The title screen of the game Stagnant Gold, showing a sword stuck in the ground with a ray of light shining on it. On the right side, a menu shows New Game, Continue, Options and Quit Game. A strange TV effect is applied to the screen. The title screen of the game Stagnant Gold, showing a sword stuck in the ground with a ray of light shining on it. A comic page showing the main protagonist running through what seems to be an empty void filled with flowing and floating blood, and ending up facing a large fleshy creature with gazing red eyes. The text speaks from an external view to the protagonist: "The night is long, and cold. And you've been search, haven't you? For grief, for guilt. For so, so long. And you finally found it... The Darkness Itself. Are you... angry?" A screenshot of the game Stagnant Gold showing very elegant minimalist graphics on a map.

Serious question for other #gamedev, I have a card mini-game (not Blackjack) where you can buy tokens (not for gambling) to play the "token game" (not Blackjack) to win tokens to exchange for items...

Do I have to put a warning of some sort? 🤔

One would think that the fact that I BUILD THIS PUZZLE would mean that I can solve it super easily...

...One would think... 😅😭

Surprisingly, there's a LOT of systems inspired by the Mana Series (specifically Trials and Legend) in Stagnant Gold.

Item-seeds is my favorite of them!! It's like a mini-gacha!!

Ah yes, classic early piece of equipment that LOWERS your stats and serves no purpose...

...but what if you keep it in your inventory? Can you do, you know, something with it later...? 🤔

I'm a big, big fan of "giving all the info to the players"!!

- Full Bestiary!
- Cheap scan items!
- Analyze skills that gives a battle-long debuff!
- Guide on game mechanics!
- Enemy typing shared traits!
- Compendium for status ailments!!

Decided to add a window that shows a random tooltip (like a loading screen tip!) everytime you open the menu!

It acts as a refresher for mechanics, enemy types, ailments, and even has a few jokes and secrets! 😁

I absolutely LOVE IT when RPGs / JRPGs puts you in front of an optional, impossible to beat, superboss near the beginning of the game; just to show you a HINT of the end-game scale.

Of course, make sure you saved before trying. 😅

Karuka Eto

The beautiful and powerful warrior Karuka. She joins your team and quickly proves herself to be a strong attacker!

Reposting over on this account the (public) art I've made so far for Beloved Rapture, an amazing indie game inspired by retro-classics JRPG of the 16 bits era!! 😁

There's two more characters coming soon, so stay tuned!! 💜

There's always a party in the battle log when you try to tackle an optional boss roughly 10 level too soon. 🤔

That was literally turn 1. 😅

The completion % can be a bit misleading, because it's not "story progress"-based, but rather based on how many of each category you collected.

I've wanted to put one since the beginning for players and if there's ever achievements, the base structure will be there! 😁

Fishing will be a 100% optional collectible quest! You simply need to unlock it, get a fishing rod and some bait, and fish!

Each "Fish Print" you collect will increase the power of a certain magic! Also, a certain NPC will reward you for each 10 print you bring to him!

Good news! We have fishing!!

I'm still debating on putting a "action timing" mechanic, or to leave it more... "early pokemon"-like. 😅

Beta testing percentages and probabilities is always fun. 25% is 25%, but sometimes, 25% is actually more like 90%. 😆

#stagnantgold #indiedev #gamedev
A Discord screenshot of the patch notes for the Beta Testing of the Stagnant Gold Demo. A known bug is listed as "here's currently a known bug that gives the impression to players that the Pocket Knife will somehow always land a Direct Hit when you try to finish an enemy with it and you don't need the Direct hit. I'm considering implementing this as a feature."

It's always fun to go back and update zones, rooms and sprites!! 🤩

No I'm not procrastinating what do you mean. 😗
