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

Anyway, have some moving platforms!

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

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

Continuing from the last post, dialogs can now be triggered automatically on player contact and can even switch points of view to go along with certain dialog

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

Ah, dang it! I forgot to post the updates from few days ago!

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

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
