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!

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!

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!

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.

Ok who turned the yoinky sploinky mode on?

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

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!

People commented before how visual effects were not impactful enough, so we worked a lot on that in the past few weeks, these are the results. What do you think?

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!]
