2022 vs Now... #Varminal #IndieDev #RPG #MarioandLuigi

The character sprites aren't the only thing that look much better - thanks to our new tile artist Gardy, the environments also got a massive upgrade!

The difference is night and day, isn't it?

In between us adding and re-implementing other animations and features, we finished both characters' item use animations.

Now they can throw them to each other, just like before, and also have a new animation for drinking stuff!

With the overworld's base mechanics close to being fully implemented, we're going back and finally progressing the battle system again! Here's a look at some new animations, new UI, and new.. well, everything! (BG is a placeholder though) [🔊Sound on!]

Another bit of progress, getting poisoned and all animations accompanying that are implemented again. As well as different portraits and health icons to match! Little touches we hope will give more charm to the UI.

@MidnightForge is a Jolter to Watch and the solo horror dev behind games like Those Who Dwell and Nowhere! Follow @MidnightForge and the Those Who Dwell game page before the quest ends on March 17 and you'll get Coins!

With a new art style and a more skilled team, we were finally able to finally make the menus according to the first concept behind them - now Plink displays every option, not just the move icons! A diegetic touch to tie UI and the game world a little.

We're so back! This is the year, team. Rose and Locket will be launching! Thanks for all your support here, I'll try to keep this page updated as we head towards release

Tara's Jump counterattack has been re-implemented as well, now with completely new animations! In the old beta, we just reused the overworld jump sprites, but I wanted to go the extra mile, and I think it looks way more satisfying this way!

We're finally back in action! And with a new bit of progress: enemies can now be hit on the overworld, and the battle transitions have a little jingle leading into the battle theme!

Episode 3 of IMPRINT, our ZERO PARADES devcast, is now live! Our host, Jim, is joined by producers Jess Crawford and Tom Leigh as they tackle the big questions related to the game's production. Listen now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ozduZD6gqQ

Goouls are back! Complete with new sprites and slightly better attack tells! (missing a few sfx but we're working on it!) As well as a much nicer test background courtesy of Gardy! We keep getting closer to re-implementing everything the old demo had!
