Worked on Save/load functionality with slots!

Now the system saves inventory items, quests, flags, current scene, and more. Next step: being able to load the game back in!

Look how cool! I’ve started sketching out the farmer’s house that feeds all of Lindisfarne!

Still needs a lot of fine-tuning with the props, but it’s starting to take shape.

New NPC detail added: when you talk to them, they turn to face you, then smoothly return to their default position afterwards.

Small touches like this make the world feel more alive.

The Quest Manager is here!

Took a few hours to bring it over from another project and adapt it to The Runic Edda, but now it’s up and running, and already feeling pretty nice!

If you don’t have much time, just do one small thing to keep the project moving.

Even adding a tiny decoration can make a scene feel richer. At the end, progress is progress, no matter the size.

More on the small details: transparency isn’t just aesthetic, it can hide secrets… like this hidden loot!

Sometimes it’s the subtle tricks that make exploration more rewarding.

Details matter!

Making the ladder feel right with the character was tougher than expected. I had to do some real z-index gymnastics to get it looking cool.

P.S. Need a cool climb animation haha

Thinking a lot about localization. It’s important to consider it from minute 1 of development. 🌍✨

But also… don’t fall into the infinite spiral of polishing translations too early. Keep building, keep moving forward!!!

New interior layout is coming together. Just added some trim details (thanks to an amazing tutoring session from @everlyjane.bsky.social ✨). Also experimenting with mechanics like picking up objects and autosaving.

It’s starting to look cool! 🎮

In Godot, interactive elements are usually handled with a mix of area_entered + input_pressed logic. Simple, effective.

But the small details matter: do it if the character is actually facing the element. It makes the interaction feel more natural.
