A quick update showing a few refinements to the menu, item display and of course, on the fly menu face changes based on your characters health.
Work continues on QOL and refining existing content, although progress has been made on the desert region.
Next up
This video demonstrates the snowboarding chase section some more with the mechanics of it. You can avoid the snow chaser entirely, reaching the bottom of the slopes for the main battle. Or, defeat it multiple times on the way down for an easier battle.
A quick video preview back at the Old Fort region. This is using 'Story Mode', which means no battles! Normally, this skeleton will chase you around the courtyard until defeated.
Additionally, I've also considerably improved the atmospheric affects here.
The descent down to the depths of the land has begun, the Gem of the Scorched is almost within reach!
My aim with these areas is to avoid the usage of boss fights to progress the game, instead challenging the player with puzzles and on map dangers.

A quick check in, everything is still going ahead! I have started a new job recently so time has been lacking a little unfortunately.
In the meantime, here is the revised village well. Rewards can be states, items, gold or nothing.
Currently rewriting the Arena location and how it works, avoiding plugin use.
Once a troop is selected, you can pick an amount between 1-3 to fight. Unique creatures will always be 1. Categories will be locked until you reach the applicable game stage.
If you like standing around in games idling, Jimmy will have something to say about that now.
Enjoy watching Jimmy complain about not doing anything with multiple different idle messages.
If you have ideas for funny idle events, let me know!
More progress on the glitch samurai
The last week or so has been spent revamping almost every map with atmospheric effects, as well as scripting the 'Story Mode' aspects.
The included image shows a snippet of the over-world with clouds & rain. This smoothly transitions from sunlight.
