Ello, I'll stop working on ORBPG for a bit, I plan on participating in this jam. Wish me the best of luck!

I finally got aseprite! It's pretty cool. Just to test out the program I made some sprites of the characters in "unique" stlyes. I had a plotline where they join a mexican gang but idk man, sounded weird. I like the designs so I'll prob use them somewhere

I updated the old black background with this new one, i think its pretty cool, it isnt earthbound but its cool

Worked on a new side mission with moniters. Pretty short, I like how the moniter looks. Crt filter by arlez80 on Godot shaders: https://godotshaders.com/shader/crt-shader/ A lot of shaders in this game are from this website since idk how to make them

Started working on side missions for other areas. You can earn gold at the end of them to buy, well, stuff.

I finally have to will to work on this again, I plan on removing the level select mechanic since it hinders the pacing. I wanted the game to be really short but if I do I feel like it'll make the characters feel less special and unimportant.

the battle used to looked boring and static, and after playing earthbound again, I really liked the background of the battles, the gif, is a updated ver of the old background, what you guys think?

I was playing some old ass nes games, I played Balloon fight, it was pretty fire, so I made a minigame, with a cool bossfight

You can use orbs to teleport to certain important towns. Each color orb tp you to a specific town. I've been thinking making the orbs manditory to collect but I'm not sure.
