I am once again focusing on battle animation resources. Not because they are the most pressing requirement right now, but because it is something I can spin up and do in short order and work on in short bursts (and I find I am enjoying it, which is a plus!). Kids' fall activities are starting up again, so I find myself sitting around an arena or Tim Hortons for a hour or so frequently again. If I manage to bring my laptop, I can then launch Aseprite (sp?) and get working on it.

This past week was all about lightning. I think they turned out well! I made a variety of bolts of varying intensity that should suit my needs for the game. Incorporating them with the cool works that visitorsfromdreams made for me (sorry the game isn't out visitors... :( ) is quite exciting.


Speaking of resources.... HOLY MOLY HAVE pianotm and zDS been PHENOMENAL. They have taken all of my unreasonable requests in stride and ran with it, producing a whopping 68 songs (I think! My count might be off...). Plus, they plan on making more and/or refining what they made. I really appreciate it.

You can check out this compilation video of chill music, to see what I mean:

Speaking of resources pt.2.... AREN'T AVEE'S TILESETS GREAT? I've been posting screenshots (finally - more than a year too late) of the tileset work he has done. Because not only did he make all of these custom tilesets, he went through the game map by map and replaced them when I was too depressed to do so myself.



I've been posting them in batches of 4 over the past couple of weeks. Check them out here:

Oh! I guess I also made a labelled worldmap. It has the updated/non-direct-lift new names for several countries and towns. You can check it out here:

Anyways, things are progressing on this project. Might even release it some day... (2024 is looking good...)
