I've partnered with @ 
TheLinguini , working on a in-house GRAPHICAL UPDATE that we've codenamed:
Lucid: RETEXTURED!
MAJOR thanks to @ TheLinguini and his excellent pixel art skills! He has contributed a BUNCH of custom tilesets for Lucid! Though I am still waiting on a couple as he's been busy rebuilding an area in his game. Check it out! I playtested for him and it was a really fun game!
(I made the temple one that's two to the left from the top right. everything else is by @ TheLinguini but I did do some minor edits. Some edits are also still needed like the snowy trees.)
If you steal these I will find and cause pain to you. If you do wanna use these, reach out to ME and I will discuss with @ TheLinguini about what he wants as they are his assets that he made FOR LUCID.
I mainly asked for the trees to be remade but my man said:
and remade up the entire thing but the bottom right bc nobody uses that buns tile anyway.
Making Lucid Lighter
What do I mean? Well, I just deleted all the rtp music and enemy sprites to make the game a little lighter. Not super interesting but it is something I HIGHLY suggest doing. Even though RM games are tiny every little bit counts!
BACKUPS BACKUPS
So after hearing a horror stories from @ 
ninesoulssea and @ TheLinguini of how important backups are I backed up Lucid and I'll prob do this every other day to make sure I don't lose it.
Because if I did...
i'd burn gamejolt and take everyone with me.
This talks about the boss of the fungal forest so don't read the spoiler if you don't want to know anything and learn in-game.
Meet Cain & Abel!
Cain:
Cain is the more relaxed, older brother of Abel and is a self certified 'chill dude'. However when it comes to Abel he gets protective VERY fast.
Abel:
Abel is a goofball. And what some would describe as a 'golden retriever'. His character is very similar to N from Murder Drones.
All in all, I love these two goobers and can't wait for you to meet them!
A little GIF so you can get acquainted with their personalities :D
Side Quests
Yep! you can now do mindless busywork for a Balloon and a grieving man~
(i wish i was joking...)
Both these NPCs are in Riverwood and are both fetch quests! One has you looking for a key while the other has you-
oh wait. that's spoilers.
Minigame!
So, ya'll remember that minigame idea I came up with at the start of last year?
I DO!
And now it's in-game! And here's a simple run down so you don't have to go digging through old posts:
You enter a maze with the goal of getting three switches to unlock a gate, if you do so you win! But be careful, there are critters running around and if any catch you, YOU LOSE!
It was tons of fun to add I'm really happy with it!
Wait does this count as gambling...?
The Temple of Realms
So, the original plan for this dungeon was to make it not really a dungeon, but a mock love story where party member No. 3 fakes falling in love with the boss so they can get closer to their goal. (Finding party member No. 4.)
But, for I have fallen out of love with this idea so now I ask you! What would you prefer for the dungeon?
The mock love story I just explained
Or a real dungeon with encounters and puzzles?
Please answer honestly as which you'd prefer. The winner will not be the final choice this is just to get an idea. And a mock love story may appear later in the game.
Demo Trailer + Steam Page Update
So I have decided the Steam page is going to wait. I want to get the demo out so I can fix bugs, and then maybe in a couple months I'll do the Steam page!
As for the demo and demo trailer...
VERY. VERY. SOON.
So, that's all for today!
(I put this one out a little earlier bc i wanted to get poll results sooner.)
See Ya Soon!
