Area 1 is complete! 7/7 levels!

Read more to learn about the upcoming demo


I was going to upload a demo this weekend, then remembered that it's Mother's Day and y'all need to call your mothers and grandmothers instead of playing video games

My goal is Monday, possibly Sunday evening if I'm feeling ambitious and get all the little odds and ends done. Lucy's vest isn't fitting quite right, and I found the weirdest and most precise bug ever. Should be an easy fix, but it was still very odd and extremely precise

Keen on the demo? Here's what you should know:

  1. The primary function of this game is education. It's modeled after old-school Mario Teaches Typing, but the goal is to learn Unified English Braille.

  2. Brailling involves chording using the SDF/JKL keys. It is not a mobile game. I think it'd be cooler'n heck to be able to plug in a braillewriter and play, but I highly doubt that will ever happen.

  3. It is intended to be rather minimalist. Again, education first. And there isn't much of a story to it either.

If it still sounds like fun, or if you just want to help out a brain-dead, cross-eyed developer, keep an eye out in the next few days for a demo/alpha test

Decided to do some work on the save/load. Name, Chapter, and even Total Play Time CORRECTLY FORMATTED Will work on the chapter banners later. Free time formatting code below

Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

Who's the richest of them all?

This guy. Because he has two fridges, two microwaves, two chest freezers, and four ovens

And let's not talk about the luxury bathroom

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Ah, yes, Grandpa and Grandma's old farmhouse, with a million rooms, basement full of mason jars, and the old '57 Chevy in the garage

I mean, not my Gramma and Grampa, but someone's, right?

@MewMarissa is a Jolter to Watch and and a game developer who takes pride in attention to detail and producing quality work! Follow @MewMarissa before the quest ends on April 8 and you'll get Coins!

Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient

Went to a powwow today, which means I got basically nothing else done. But I did fix that oddly specific bug and make the option button a teeny bit more interesting Just need to fix Lucy's vest (tomorrow) and then on to the demo!

Great news! 📢 @Aya_Games has joined Game Jolt!
