Thoughts and updates


Hey guys! First off, I just wanna say thank you for following and taking interest in this game, it’s really cool to see!
Now that the jam has concluded I’d like to work on this game more (how much more, I’m unsure, but definitely at least a little more expansion).
Right now on my todo I have:

  • Fix any remaining bugs I’m aware of

  • Redo UI to use mouse control rather than keyboard wherever possible

  • Make a clearer tutorial

  • Add more monsters

  • Add more buildings/building features

  • Add more NPC features

If there’s anything missing from this list you’d like me to consider, let me know!
One other thing I’m considering is upgrading the graphics a little to use either 16 or 32 colors rather than four - I think this would make things a little nicer to look at (and more legible, too) while still preserving the retro look I wanted to have.

Here’s a mockup of what that may look like in game:

If I did redo the colors, this would likely be in another update rather than the next one. Which one do you guys think looks the best?

Hopefully I’ll be able to fix the bugs this weekend, in which case I’ll put a bugfix patch out before moving on to new content. See you guys soon!

Chiaki Nanami!

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

What you all think

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.
