Update (new patch 1.9.2): I've gotten some good feedback, and I've figured out why the d-pad doesn't work on some (most?) controllers. It's... a clumsy mistake on my part. Literally two lines of code was all it took to fix it. Whoops.
To explain, there are three types of gamepad functions in GM8: Buttons, axes (joysticks) and povs (d-pad). The axes and povs are hardcoded to movement and navigation, and somehow I forgot to add pov functionality to up/ down movement.
Patch 1.9.2 fixes that, adds the option to disable built-in gamepad support (incase you want to use external remapping software) and improves viewport scaling functionality.
Took a break from dungeon development to redo some old background graphics and add more detail to some areas.
I'll release a new demo with these changes and more in about a month or two.
New demo 1.10 is live! This version features improved graphics, an overworld map and a new (optional) area to explore! Check the readme for full list of changes.
A floating dungeon high up in the sky... wind themed, of course.
I had this planned many years ago, so it's exciting to finally design it.

Since Legend of Hilda got a much-needed QoL update I figured it's only fair to do the same for this game. The update's not quite done yet, but it will feature an extended options menu and some combat improvements. It'll hopefully be ready next week.

The world map's layout is now 100% done! Besides that I'm working on a new update that'll add more options to the game like rebinding keys.
I redrew the main character (totally not Link)! Apparently, I drew the old sprite around 2009, so it was definitely time to update his looks.

New patch 1.9.0 includes an options menu allowing you to change controls, lower the difficulty and more! I've also added enemy healthbars, an extra keybind, improvements to controls and other minor fixes.
