Some funky hand-drawn animation. And I really mean hand-drawn animation: I drew the frames on a paper with a pencil and then scanned the result and created the gif.

New features: shop, doors, more items and a working save system.

I just tell you that programming menus is pain. The game code has so much spaghetti I could start a restaurant.

But(t) it works, and that's the main thing!

Don't ask. I needed a merchant character, so I just started drawing something without any idea what would it be. The shop itself is not implemented yet, though.

I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!

Stuff

Night is coming.

Note that "night" is just used to reveal some objects that are required to collect to enter the final area, it's not a distinct game area.

More about it later.

I added 12 more enemies. I recorded a video only to test Game Jolt's new video upload feature!

(Just kidding, I recorded a video because LICECap stopped working properly through Wine on Linux...)

Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").

(don't let the video "thumbnail" confuse you, this is a new video!)

Hey cool, video uploading is up (heh) and running again!

I added intro sequence and intro map to the game. The story is going to be a bit more minimal than I originally planned.

The working title is "A Memory of Owls". I'll start a devlog if this project survives that long.
