With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms


Some of the pixel art is handmade, but most is free/premade or adapted from such.

I never feel bad about using premade stuff. Look at it from the artist's point of view. True, it may not be their best work ever, maybe it's just scraps from an old game idea of their own, but they still put it out there to be seen and used. But what if no one uses it? What if no one even gives them a second look? It is still perfectly viable art that they want to see used and loved in a good way in other games.

Never feel bad about using premade stuff. Somebody made it and they want to see it used. If no one is going to use it, no one is going to make it.

There. That's my soapbox

Went to a powwow today, which means I got basically nothing else done. But I did fix that oddly specific bug and make the option button a teeny bit more interesting Just need to fix Lucy's vest (tomorrow) and then on to the demo!

Lots of modeling the last few days. Got some houses made, remade some of my terrain blocks (rebuilt the harbor), and started on the NPC models. Also worked on the battle system and the follower system, now with 1/10th the code but 10x more efficient

Art day today. Did a little messing around with the cupboards and some furniture. Got a wine cellar, shower and tub and such. Probably redo appliances, spiff them up a bit Once I get all the major stuff in, then I'll go through and build the levels

Oh no! Jelly blobs of doom!

They're only supposed to be the size of a mini-yux

But doesn't he look so much more prepared for adventure?

And yes, she is carrying a deer foot staff, modeled after one hanging in our house

Almost done with Area 1. 4/7 levels completed. Started work on the home/interior sprites, ran into a minor logistics issue But if I get them outlined, I can polish and reimport later

Ah, yes, Grandpa and Grandma's old farmhouse, with a million rooms, basement full of mason jars, and the old '57 Chevy in the garage

I mean, not my Gramma and Grampa, but someone's, right?
