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)

And back to development hell/heaven! Next thing to add: items to the shop, obviously.

(EDIT: and maybe edit those chains, they look a little silly)

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!

Some progress. I'll start a devlog once I decide the name for this game (the working title is "A Tower for Memories").

Some funky hand-drawn animation. And I really mean hand-drawn animation: I drew the frames on a paper with a pencil and then scanned the result and created the gif.

I still don't have too much time to work on this project, but I'm still going to (try to) finish it by Christmas.

I added a new type of portal that will send the player to the final area of the game.

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...

Now you can buy items. I might add a confirmation box that asks if you really want to buy that item. Maybe.

Drawing those propellers took surprising amount of time, but hey, now you know how the palace can be flying!

Next thing to add: gamepad support?

Stuff

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

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?
