Feeling Cloudy 0.5 update out now!

Change log, thoughts and more:


Feeling Cloudy's biggest update so far 0.5 is out! It doesn't really have a focus, rather I've just worked on improving everything I could from story to gameplay to quality of life.

I struggled a lot with motivation during the making of this update, but the few people who have mentioned enjoying my game have really helped me get through it! Also a certain decision I made (Totally reworking the "level-order" system) with the game did cause quite a lot of trouble but I got it all working by the end! (I hope )

The game won't be finishing this year unfortunately, but development is running smoothly and I have pretty much most of the game already planned out. (But I do keep getting more ideas constantly so I have to put a stop to that at some point)

I'm thinking that once I figure out how to monetize the game (Like making a PayPal, any possible taxes, etc.), I'll be making the game "pay what you want" before the 1.0 release. But no plans on pricing aside from that.

As always all feedback, bug reports, critique and such is welcomed! It helps me create a better experience for all of us!

Next up

Option UI has been reworked and now I've been fully reworking the climbing mechanic (Vines and such)

It's pretty much done and a new update is probably coming soon!

Aaand with the climbing changes comes new silly sprites like this one:

A few old boss designs I worked on. The designs were too unintuitive and honestly just not fun so I ended up cutting them. They were good practice though, I think.

Might still use the sprites for NPCs or something!
