Happy #FungiFriday everyone! Starlight Raiders and #IndieGameDev took a back seat this week to some nice weather and a backlog of related chores, but we'll be back next week! Enjoy this beautiful shiitake mycelium colonizing some dowels in the meantime 😍

Unfortunately, @itch.io is overrun by slop. The assets are slop, the tools are 'vibecoded'. It's an endless stream of spam which takes away visibility from great human-made creations. It's honestly just a sad state, anything you can do - itch?

Thanks! Vaulting will be to increase player mobility and combat variety. The combat felt a bit slow, so I'm trying to crank it up a notch before I start designing/adding more enemies. I added dodging a couple weeks ago which helped, but I think the ability to "hop" walls opens up level design a lot!
