Smitty 2 Emerald Plains Demo (0.2.0) is now here! This update includes but not limited to a new opening cutscene, a reworked audio engine and improved gameplay experience.

Now working on some more modification to the Settings screen, including giving each sub-screen a consistent color scheme (the Apply button being green is intentional) and adding more component to each sub-screen.

I'll work on the Controls screen later on.

Made some more signs, but I'll only show one today

The Nana sign, indicates that she's somewhere within the range of the player's location

Finally, got something to share. I thought implementing this mechanic won't be easy, but color me impressed.

And yes, the fourth island is themed after autumn / fall.

Time to work on the settings dialog before starting to work on the fourth island

So far, both the display and audio config screens are working

Added signs so you know what you should do in the stage, because stage descriptions don't show during gameplay. Only in the stage select.

2 posts today because I can't stop forgetting about posting stuff on this platform

First, the most recent one, readable signs and change in atmosphere when one sector away from the boss

Refining the boss experience, the first boss now should be relatively more challenging now.

As well as the health bar for the boss! So you know how weak the boss is as you defeat them.

Demo update ver. 0.2.0 is up!

Now, you can try out the new aiming system! There are also some new sound effects.

And second, Yurelumis or ghosts that glow in the dark

They can help the player navigate dark areas like caves, which is where they'll appear
