More VFX, this time fire. It's all billboards so it looks pretty flat when I move the camera around. -- #vfx #gamedev #godot

Decided to add zelda-esq object targeting. This is very important for characters that can shoot stuff and gives me more options for object placement. The system can help players pinpoint what objects around them are receptive to force abilities. -- #gamedev #jrpg #godot

While I've been working on this swapping feature, I've been thinking about an enemy I encountered in DQ5, it was like an elephant looking thing and it could fling members in your party into the wagon (bench). I might explore something similar... -- #JRPG #gamedev #godot
