just doin some concept art. waterfall jungle level in the second act of the game. I think I want to do as many of these as I can with every level in the game. it's just been sitting in my head for ages--'bout time I finally open the can and pour it out!

Great progress today. Knocked out a ton of the variants for different points in the story. The last main things to do are reverse engineer Henry's design, interpret my create-a-character as a sprite in my style, and... Kael. Ugh. We'll see about him... :P

Sept. 2025: Drew some mockups for in-game dialogue, and realized my portraits had a lot of room to grow, so they expanded from 64px to 112px squares, which is a staggering increase of fidelity and detail.

Finally, finally, FINALLY getting to animating new Kael's attack! Here's the 3 hit combo! I love the secondary motion from the scarf :D

Here are some snippets of Rina in action from Demo 1, which was built in #Unity. I've got UI, cheat codes, and the whole backend system of the Magic Loadouts. I have since moved onto Demo 2 with Kael, built in #Godot.

I have a scriptable object for each element as the attacker, with entries for other elements mapped to enum values for each multiplier. To keep things organized, instead of having a class for all spells, each family of spells will have its own.

Picked a bad time to stop posting, to be honest. This gif is a year old! just a snippet of how things have evolved.

Elemental matchup chart v2.0. It's a lot more well organized, pretty consistent mechanically, has some interesting balance ideas, and a lot of them can even be backed up with lore. Excited to try these out in game, which is next!

i've been having too much fun wasting time polishing the cosmetic appearance of my game's obsidian vault, adding banners and art all over the place. this week i updated several of the deities. the glowups from what they were before is crazy...
