Hey Guild Leaders!
Since I've been working on it for a long while now, I wanted to share a quick overview of the progress for the upcoming big update:



Including many new enemies, loot and oddities
A lot is already complete - just need a few more oddities, improved crocodiles and a handful more loot.



With two initial factions (Nobles and Commoners), faction stores with food items, loot, etc. faction classes and faction enemies
Faction stores, loot and classes are implemented - I'm working on faction enemies following you underground too.





With unique abilities and speech
Complete. I'm currently in the process of playtesting and refining them further.



Complete!



Mostly complete


Overall - most of the update content is complete. I do have a handful of things to wrap up, add and playtest though.



That's all for this progress overview! Thank you for checking out this news post, I'm determined to push through the last few bits of work to have the mega-update ready!
Hope to share even more exciting news next time (:

Working on the big update! expect a news post soon.

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 🎵
