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!

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

Goouls are back! Complete with new sprites and slightly better attack tells! (missing a few sfx but we're working on it!) As well as a much nicer test background courtesy of Gardy! We keep getting closer to re-implementing everything the old demo had!

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

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.

A new quest celebrating Dead Pets Unleashed just entered your quest log!

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.

With the overworld's base mechanics close to being fully implemented, we're going back and finally progressing the battle system again! Here's a look at some new animations, new UI, and new.. well, everything! (BG is a placeholder though) [🔊Sound on!]
