JULY REPORT

A look back at last month alongside my plans for this month in the development of starrune!


Hello!

June was a pretty neat month. It was the month I released the first three demo's!

Although the reason I recently was so silent on the game was that I took the time to develop a small DDLC Mod for a friend of mine.

"Why work on something else when you are working on STARRUNE" Basically, I wanted to ensure I don't get burned out and be able to take a more refrehsed look at the game. Like... taking distance from it to avoid burnout and narrow views.

MY PLANS FOR THIS MONTH:

-I plan to develop further on the game once my DDLC Mod is done (July 4th is the deadline)

-I will port my fangame to the newest version of the engine

-I will improve the act presentation, including icons and a way to tell apart ATC's of peace with ACT's of violence (such as throwing kris) to ensure that you can do a pacifist run without accidentally using an ACT of violence.

-I will remaster the beginning to give more story context and other polish.

-I plan to only have ORIGINAL Music (at least mostly), so I will work on replacing the music with either other tracks made by me or tracks made by people who help me with music!

-And if I can I will also further work on the main game. But before that I wanna focus on the polish I mentioned above!

I hope I can make something of quality for all of you to enjoy!

I am sure I can make STARRUNE something special if I put in effort and try! With DETERMINATION and HELP!

(If you want to help, feel free to contact me.)

(If you have any suggestions for the game, feel free to tell them so I can improve the game!)

Made a "cover art sketch" for my Deltarune Fangame, Starrune Supernova, it probably won't be turned into real fake box art, but I still had fun drawing it.

Starrune went through a lot of demos before I finished the game. Plenty changed, the Parasol Dees used to be a true menace.

Also look at the "Chapter 1 like hp stat" the game used to have. (+5 HP is from it being post Bugzzy)

The TALK menu will hold plenty for you to discover based on certain conditions. This dialouge will be for after you talked to Mari, explaining her presence within Dreamland.

Here's EVEN MORE #GameJoltColors25 great art from you fellow Jolters!

I just learned how to create GIF's of STARRUNE. So I am planning on maybe making a few of them to give the site a bit more flair.

Enjoy this GIF of the KIRBY CAMEO STARRUNE has.

Who's excited for the new Kirby Air Riders?

It isn't fully complete yet, but the protagonist, Shilka, is now playable and has battle sprites (although limited as her options are limited to acts and items, weapons being items you use instead of equip.)

I sprited the starting Hotel Room, I don't often sprite Tilesets from scratch, so I am quite happy with myself, even if it is pretty simple.

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Kirby! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

I sprited the hotel shop where sports gear can be bought such as surfboards to make the stay a more pleasant one. However as it is late there is barely any stock left.

Will make a shopkeeper NPC later.
