Apologies for the lack of devlog updates since August, took some time for the SAGE demo and some breaks.

Anyway, have some moving platforms!

After some refinements and troubleshooting, I finally settled the dialog system straight from a blank canvas

And it works pretty flawlessly, thanks to Godot's label visibility features

Made one of the major but optional collectibles in the game: Hostage capsules

You need 20 energy pellets to hack these and release the captured Dropple inside

Almost forgot, the final boss should complete soon

Working on the main menu took me quite a number of trial and error, but I managed to almost complete it

I also have been wanting a cut-out transition for a long while and I finally get to make one, huzzah

Made a big change on the first boss' stage (subject to change)

Wanted to do idle animations much earlier, but not feeling like it until now.

Anyway, here are the 2 animations I did for Smitty.

Forgot to show these, but just redesigned 2 more boss stages

Final demo release in light of upcoming official release

Update on the capsules: They now show balloon popups of occasional call for help and the required number of pellets to break them open

If you've played Smitty's Journey, the jingle that plays should sound familiar to you
