Showing off an Early Game teaser. It's nothing major but I did revise the inventory info into bullet points instead of long wordy text. Inching closer to an upcoming playtest. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

My most recent efforts have been focused on bug fixing and back end things but I still have a lil teaser share. This is one of the frog enemy evolutions, can never have enough frogs XD!! #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

The classic Throwing Axe does a lot of damage but its trajectory can make it hard to use. That is, until we pair it with a few synergistic items to offset the downsides. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Back with a small update to share. I recently reworked my combat text, inspired heavily from Castlevania: SotN. The text color and movement behave differently for each damage type, check it out! #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Showing off the Aqua Pump interaction. Once you find it in one of your runs, it can be activated to enable Boss Run mode permanently. I enjoy making these things a bit more immersive when I can. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Here's the Lightning Bow, it shoots slow traveling lightning orbs. It also pairs well with the Ambit Expander to increase the area size. It evolves into the Freezing Bow that can freeze enemies. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Showing off the Crossbow that shoots multiple projectiles that pairs well with the Spell Tomb's Mana on hit ability. Plus it has the Arbalest Evolved form that shoots 5 projectiles. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Showing off the new Blowgun that shoots poison darts which cause damage over time. When paired with the Poison Vial, that damage will stack. Lastly is the Evolved version that shoots double darts. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Showing the Ambit Expander & Poison Vial modifiers today. The first increases the Leather Whips length while the second adds poison on hit. Leveling up each item will also increase their effects. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Back with a small but great QoL update today. I added drag & drop support to the inventory system. This updates makes it much easier to organize and manage the inventory. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Added some portraits to the dialog box and a Backpack Icon for the inventory. Also reworked the Loot Log to symbolize being added to the Backpack. Plus that silly cat Lupi got scared and ran off :( #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Showing off a Homing Wand build today. It's pretty weak early on since each shot cost mana and won't pierce. However, if paired with the Myriad and Bracers, we get multiple shots that also pierce. #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/2918240/...

Here's a short Boss Fight preview, and shout out to KB Pixel Art @baybars_kemal for the great Minotaur sprite. Bosses will be randomize for each Biome, but the Theater will always be crawling with mice. Happy Turkey day!! #GameMaker #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #Steam
