After days of unstoppable procrastinating, the settings menu is finally done!

Welp, guess it's time to work on the fourth island. 🏝️🍂

Finally done with the fourth island, so time to work on the UI once again.

Added a new popup to notify about new Star Fairy visitors in the menu's background. Some visitors will show up if you get at least an A rank on some stages.

Unique NPCs now have dialogue icons!

Once you enter the Town Square for the first time, this cutscene will play once.

Also, these construction sites will take place of buildings I couldn't complete in time before the SAGE 2025 submission deadline. :\

Beary is reading again, what could it be?

Time to work on the settings dialog before starting to work on the fourth island

So far, both the display and audio config screens are working

It has been a while, doesn't it? I'm still working on the game, but very slowly to keep myself from creative burnout (this recording was from Saturday)

Anyway, cinematic sequences and some more lighting effects

Almost forgot to show y'all the new loading screen animation, initially to add a white panel behind the icons since they might blend with the background which changes with each island.
