We're finally back in action! And with a new bit of progress: enemies can now be hit on the overworld, and the battle transitions have a little jingle leading into the battle theme!

2022 vs Now: #Varminal #indie #indiedev #marioandluigi #devlog #showcase

In between us adding and re-implementing other animations and features, we finished both characters' item use animations.

Now they can throw them to each other, just like before, and also have a new animation for drinking stuff!

@pm-studios ' Bandit Trap has an open beta RIGHT NOW! It's open until 3 am ET on Nov 30th.

Items are usable yet again! Complete with a new, more expressive and fluid animation. We're getting closer and closer to getting back where we were with the old battle system... but now with so much more style and charm! #Varminal #Indiegame #Indiedev

🏆Meet the winners of the Narrative Jam presented by Game Jolt and @NEOWIZ_QUEST ! Where every story finds its voice!

Another part of the battle system is finished - finally, all the death & revive animations are completed! This time, instead of a generic crystal, a special rejuvenating balm is the item needed to wake your friend back up.

Tara's Jump counterattack has been re-implemented as well, now with completely new animations! In the old beta, we just reused the overworld jump sprites, but I wanted to go the extra mile, and I think it looks way more satisfying this way!

🥉✨ I won 3rd place in the Narrative Jam! ✨🥉

My game Luna Magica made it into the winners of the Game Jolt + NEOWIZ jam ÒwÓ They really loved the worldbuilding and the dark magical-girl vibe, 🌙

Thank you so much to everyone who played it! #GameDev #JotaDev

Another bit of progress, getting poisoned and all animations accompanying that are implemented again. As well as different portraits and health icons to match! Little touches we hope will give more charm to the UI.
