(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.

Here's some #art. You don't have to thank me.

A very bare-bones shop that, however, mimic shops seen in some NES & GBC games. The prices are temporary. Speed boots not implemented yet. If you can afford something, you'll buy it by touching it, and if not, then you can walk over it with no effects.

Elephant hunt. Combat is still work-in-progress, some details and one attack is still missing.

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

The final boss...? Now I just ave to add the ending, then I can finally starting working on the actual game map. I don't want to do the final battle & ending last, so I decided to implement them now. I also added audio, but more about it later (maybe).

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.

This is what I did today (picture from Tiled). It still needs to be tested, though. My deadline is next Monday, so two days should be enough time to finish this. There are a few bugs to be fixed, but they are not necessary.

I have added more things to the test map. I have every item needed in the game implemented (including pink sword & arrows shown in the gif), so now I added the chamber where the breakfast is hidden. Collecting it will turn the world to a "dark" version.

I have had bad luck with my projects this year, so I decided to make a sequel for A Graveyard for Dreams. Maybe I will finish this project one day, maybe not, but at least I have fun making it!
