Improved shops + progress update!

Hey guild leaders! I recently made some great progress on the shops and upcoming "Damp Caves" mushroom area (new soundtrack for it later in the post!).

Here's the exciting details:


I've been wanting to redo the shop and guild screens for a long while, trying to make both of these looks like actual places rather than minimalist, grey windows.

So I set to work and made mockups in Aseprite! a pixel-art program.



...They're just mockups so I can see where the interface is, they're not meant to be pretty!





The in-game versions, however, are totally meant to look pretty! :D

This change currently only applies to the shops in the overworld (General Store and Armory).

I did end up running into some unexpected difficulties with the guild version... (the fact that the character is meant to be on the left side + screen scaling possible causing issues for how things are displayed on different screens) so that will have to wait for a future update :< However! Get ready for some very exciting mushroom news!

Here's the soundtrack for the upcoming "Damp Caves" mushroom area in-action! courtesy of the talented Daniele "Elrehon" Coppola. The soundtrack for the upcoming Sewers is done too, I might share it in a future post (:


All mushroom enemies are now fully animated too, with particle effects to boot!

Mushroom push!

Mushroom cannon!

Mushroom hulk smash!


Finally, inspired by the fantastic music, I added sound effects to the various mushroom enemies 🎵
