You can now see your opponent's mood aura after checking on them! The aura color is based on their current mood. Oh and I've updated the combat backgrounds btw. That might actually be the cooler piece of news. #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #Godot

I added a small warning indicator because I noticed that during one of Allyzabeth's attacks many players didn't know which direction it would be coming from. (I even mixed up the directions myself while implementing it, which shows just how necessary this was lmao) #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame

A screenshot of a twine project flowchart with a bit more than sixty passages arranged in neat even rows except for one part on the far right which shows the flow of a section with a lot of choices, please ignore that part.

After almost 3 months of working on Gyoza, who has WAY TOO MUCH dialog for an OPTIONAL opponent (🥲) I'm finally done with my rhythm minigame!!! 🎉🕺 The complete update with this minigame should finally be out soon! Possibly even this year! Maybe! #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #Godot

A screenshot of Gyoza, an opponent within a rhythm game section, which will be playable in my game demo 'Tiny Tied'. They look happy and hold two signs. On each sign a with thumbs up is seen.
