Graphylith Update


Gable, action reading owl!

5d0a27588b504.gif

New in-world text system added. More planned for it in the future, but for now, just testing it out.

Each map now has a text stone (graphylith), that names the current location.
(And it makes a cool sound.)

Changes to the start of the Dungeon map (#13), to better connect it to the preceding map.

Other minor map changes.

3 new Palettes based on various wildflowers:

  • Mountain Laurel

  • Delphinium

  • Fritillaria

If you only look up pictures of one of these flowers, look up Fritillaria, (also called “snake’s head”). They’re pretty cool. :)

All feedback and suggestions are always welcome. :)

A backer from my prior Kickstarter suggested a pre-launch countdown + link, & they made this gif for me, because they're super nice. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fisholith/down-ward-game-ow…

They made 3 of them actually. :)

Gable wings her way over some soft clouds. :)

(She's the main character of a pixel game I'm working on. She has more pixels in this picture.)

Down Ward funded all 4 original stretch goals, and is still going. :)

24 hours left!

I've added one last stretch goal. Thanks to all who have supported in any way, by pledge or word of mouth!

Adorned in her appropriately cubey attire, Gable brandishes a legendary blade.

I finally get to post this for April Fools! :D

I was going to put up the Ascii art April Fools banner, and then realized I needed to make a Kickstarter version of it. Happy April Fools, all. :) Kickstarter: http://bit.ly/DownWard-Kickstarter
