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.

Once you enter the Town Square for the first time, this cutscene will play once.

Also, these construction sites will take place of buildings I couldn't complete in time before the SAGE 2025 submission deadline. :\

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.

Unique NPCs now have dialogue icons!

Demo update ver. 0.2.0 is up!

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

Some more new Dropples!

Also, I might've forgot to tell that they'll appear once you break open their respective capsules

Almost forgot to show y'all the new loading screen animation, initially to add a white panel behind the icons since they might blend with the background which changes with each island.

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

Happy 2024, everyone! Balls n' Stars 2 is back in development!

So, 3 out of 4 settings section are done and there's only one more to work with, the Controls section.

Finally, time to show Penumbra Forest

Newly, visually-improved over the original from Smitty's Journey
