For this #ScreenshotSaturday, I bring to you... water!

I know that water is a kind of hard to implement correctly in games, but I couldn't pass on making flooded caves!

Don't mind the missing death animation, btw.

As soon as you touch water, you'll be slowed down a little. I didn't want to make it like Super Metroid though.

When you are submerged in it, the music will muffle and you'll jump about 1 tile higher (per jump), become floatier, and your stomp move won't go all the way down.

This gif was made before I added post-processing and the oxygen system. For now, you have about a minute of oxygen, and getting hit hard will decrease that by 10 seconds.

Once you start drowning, you'll start using your energy to stay alive and the screen will get darker and darker until you drown.

This ability won't be in the demo, but I wanted to show it off anyway. Also, this was totally done first try and was definitely not spliced!

I added a Bestiary to Blooming Darkness! I this should help flush out the world a bit, and perhaps even hint at some lore

I updated the banner for my game! It's based off one of the first original pixel art pieces I ever drew (2nd picture).

Art isn't an area I'm strong in, so I'm pretty happy with this! Well, for now at least.

This week's #FanArtFriday celebrates Story of Seasons / Harvest Moon! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

A patched #Demo of #BloomingDarkness has been released! This should hopefully make the controls less awkward and decrease the difficulty a bit. https://gamejolt.com/games/blooming_darkness/398415
