I'm just posting this to show that, yes, I'm making some progress (not much, but little). I have mostly fixed some bugs and other things that aren't "giffable". I might be able to finish this thing before the next year.

Stuff

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

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!

#metroidvania #pixelart #gamedev

The working title is "A Memory of Owls". I'll start a devlog if this project survives that long.

New things:

- Map (it shows the map of the whole area, but only the solid tiles, not items or anything)

- Blood shards that you need to collect to craft a blood gem

- Better graphics for the title

- ...and some minor things?

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.

Sometimes I start a project but I lose motivation to finish it. This is one of these projects. The source code is available on Github, though, and there you can also play the prototype:

E P I C You might think that since I have final boss done, the game is always finished? Well, yes and no, I still haven't started doing the actual game maps, I have only test areas...

I implemented simple dialogue boxes. Since the resolution is so small (160x144), the dialogue will be short & compact. And yes, it will be skippable.

(I know, not much a progress, but I'm pretty busy writing my master's thesis right now)

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