Don't ask. I needed a merchant character, so I just started drawing something without any idea what would it be. The shop itself is not implemented yet, though.

Version 1.0.0 released

This is the main (stable) release.

Night is coming.

Note that "night" is just used to reveal some objects that are required to collect to enter the final area, it's not a distinct game area.

More about it later.

Devlog is coming once I draw the logo and create the game page.

Who would have guessed, making a puzzle game with metroidvania-like progression for MS-DOS with CGA graphics didn't really work, but if you want to try it, see here: https://github.com/jani-nykanen/the-curse-of-cga (see "Releases"; requires DOSBox)

I still had fun, though.

I added some treasure chests, NPCs, message boxes, menus and the title screen. They kind of work (health chests work, but all the treasure chests will give you a dummy item...)

(don't let the video "thumbnail" confuse you, this is a new video!)

Hey cool, video uploading is up (heh) and running again!

I added intro sequence and intro map to the game. The story is going to be a bit more minimal than I originally planned.

New features: shop, doors, more items and a working save system.

I just tell you that programming menus is pain. The game code has so much spaghetti I could start a restaurant.

But(t) it works, and that's the main thing!

Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").
