TL;DR: Updates are slowing down due to irl factors, Please have patience with our posting speed, and Please stop DMing us about the state of the game.

Hey everyone, Windy here.
We have a bit to say so let's do it.

-Updates are slowing down-
Due to factors irl (Mental health related), we'll be slowing down on making posts about this game. Please know we have a life outside of the digital realm of the internet, and furthermore we are a human being making this game...

(We said that last bit because several people, while we were away from the internet/game development, were trying to start something bad about us using "AI" to make our pixel art. We do not use ANY AI or generative algorithms for our art.

Our tools of trade for pixel art is: Krita for large scale sprites (Like sprites >= 360x360 in size), Aseprite for pretty much everything else, and Blender for blockouts of cutscenes/backgrounds (if we can't figure out perspective of said cutscene/background.)

-Please have patience with our posting speed-

We have been messaged several times about "Is this project even alive still? Where's the recent posts?". Normally we ignore those messages and focus on posting when we feel like it'd be a good showcase of development. However we just can't ignore it anymore. This is a a formal "From developer to Community" message to please have patience and to simmer down a bit. The project is still being worked on, Just at a slower rate so we can digest the progress and don't get burnt out.

-Please stop DMing us about the state of the game-

Self explanatory. While we would LOVE to share the meat of the game and post it up and say how development's going, we just can't right now. We don't want to spoil the gameplay of the game until we have enough (non placeholder) assets made, ready, and working for a gameplay trailer. So please, just don't DM us about that or else we'll have to close our DMs and we REALLY don't want to do that at all...

With those out of the way...
seeya around!

Next up

Working on animating some phase transitions for the previously shown "Dream Boss"! (Haven't gotten around to coding the transitions in-engine yet... That's next on our "To do" list.)

"You know you're in the deep end when your dreams will try and kill you..."

Happy Halloween Everyone! Here's a few artworks and in-game screenshots for this spoooooky occasion..!

Just wanting to showcase the new artwork for Henry's house! (the old design/artwork is the image on the far right, in case anyone was wondering..!)

Jessica's sprite compared to Charlie's sprite.

And we stand by our thoughts on this.

"How do we make music?" ~ Someone on Discord "Well ya see-" ~ Us *Gestures at our LMMS project (aka a nuclear reactor control panel)*

Updated the visuals of some shaders that'll be used for the UI of the game! It'll add some much needed style we think!

The shader allows for Color Bleeding//"Leaking" (The most prime example/showcase is the Rainbow text character's text & the credits!)

New Jessica portrait that actually looks like how she's described in The Silver Eyes! (With the old design for her being on 2nd image.) (Also if you couldn't tell, the old style won the previous poll.)

We know we haven't been showcasing other enemies in a while... (A lot of enemy sprites are sketches that we need to animate, polish up, etc...) So here's some rough gameplay of the battle system in action. (With the enemy's AI disabled so we won't die.)
