Very spooky! I love the fanged Luma and the fangs on knee-high boots are a great touch ✨

I was going for a sorta poison cloud effect with the green one! I'll try tweaking it a bit more 😅

I made some neat effects for my status effects. You can tell what each one is suppose to represent right? right?? -- #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #vfx #jrpg

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

Oh wow, incredible! But also, dang no shaders...

It's entirely procedural, all it needs is a noise texture and some gradients. Only issue i've noticed with it is that increasing the particle count too much creates this odd "visual residue". Idk might be something with the shader lol.

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
