Overall Update:
Pre-game scene - complete, needs polish
Character creation - incomplete art-wise, but functional
New game scene - incomplete art-wise, but functional
Opening dialogue and first quest - complete
Second quest, inciting incident - incomplete
Crafting - complete (the function, not the full database of recipes)
Patches (formerly Charms) - incomplete
Followers - incomplete art-wise, but functional in world
Save/load - incomplete inasmuch as I don't have enough maps to test correct map spawning
Shopping - moderately functional
Battling - lol, no
Not sure what I'm going to be working on next. I'm thinking it might be the various journals, to make sure information is available and such. Or I might spend some time on the Patches and figuring out how I'm going to streamline that since they are going to have such a wide variety of effects 
Have you ever actually been surprised when something just works the first time? Fixing the ingredient crafting took a little time, but that is now working swimmingly. Did a quick one-shot attempt on the reverse engineering recipe and it just...worked 
Next up
Oh no! Jelly blobs of doom! 
They're only supposed to be the size of a mini-yux 
But doesn't he look so much more prepared for adventure? 
And yes, she is carrying a deer foot staff, modeled after one hanging in our house
Behold my beautiful canoe!
Battle State Machine is working 
Player chooses what to do, enemies choose what to do, and they even have variable rates of attack/defend/flee. Next step will be to actually start dealing damage 
Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 18: @Otis_Le_PoOtis 
is the Creator of Bondee’s Barnyard and posts updates about their dev journey and their work on the sequel!) Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!
Did some rough level work in the cave system. Got the long tunnel, and this one is the first puzzle place (if anyone is familiar with the four stairs/doors puzzle in Paper Mario 2, this is going to be very similar).
Happy #WIPWednesday!
Are you working on a game?
Making some art?
Practicing a song?
Something else?
Tell us in the comments!
Decided to do some work on the save/load. Name, Chapter, and even Total Play Time CORRECTLY FORMATTED Will work on the chapter banners later. Free time formatting code below
Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient
@Miles_Games 
is a Jolter to Watch! They post great game dev updates about the holiday-themed platformer TEAM SLAY-BELLS! Follow them before the quest ends on December 24 and you'll get Coins!
Did some more work trying to fix up whatever went wrong and...yeah, let's just cut to the end where it didn't work 
Started a new project, made some changes, derped around a little, made this cute little guy
