With a new art style and a more skilled team, we were finally able to finally make the menus according to the first concept behind them - now Plink displays every option, not just the move icons! A diegetic touch to tie UI and the game world a little.

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!

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.

Go tell your favorite creators to join Game Jolt and get REKT with love and support! 💓

For inspiration, here's an animation by one of our very own creators, @ElPichon !

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

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

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

Another move has been fully implemented! As we've said earlier, as the replacement for Mario & Luigi's bros. moves, Plink will transform into tools for our heroes to use on the overworld. Here's the first one you'll receive in this game - the Plinkoline!

Oh this building is where your office is? Looks like you're not going into work today #KONG

As our way of adapting Mario & Luigi's field actions, Plink the robot will transform into different tools for Tara & Vyn to use! Furthermore, replacing the Mini Mario ability, you can also control Plink on his own! His segments will have unique obstacles.
