Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 20 celebrates @LilianDuleroux ! They're the artist, writer, and game dev behind The Voyage Sinister! We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: What advice would you give a new dev?

2/3: Everything is working as before, except hair and freckles need shader tweaks. I'll worry about that later though as it shouldn't affect any gameplay! https://gamejolt.com/games/JumpDudes/972183

Character customisation system is stating to look good...

Befriend and battle creatures, and conjure up a sanctuary alongside other witches in co-op or single-player.

1/3: Due to a huge bug I re-made the character customisation system in JumpDudes. It looks a little different, but it works just the same. https://gamejolt.com/games/JumpDudes/972183
