Today's dev task: manually placing hundreds of trees across the final map for The Curse of the Howling Woods: Re-Cursed Edition. Nobody warned me about this part of game dev.
Coming soon.

Arthur is an optional companion item in The Curse of the Howling Woods "Recursed Edition" β€” and he wants you to know he is absolutely not happy about being an item.

This is what game characters look like before they become themselves - building out the base sprite sheet models using Hana Caraka as the starting point. Walking, spells, looking around. Once the costumes go on it'll make a lot more sense. #gamedev #pixelart

Adding more to the Howling Woods remaster - including these buried colossus hands (from the MiniFantasy asset pack).
I'm expanding the bizarre nature of the woods and making it feel much more mysterious and rich.

So the plan today is to catch up on the lost work from yesterday, try and keep the house as cool as possible (we're supposed to have a hot day today) and listen to the Superman soundtrack that just arrived on vinyl.

Yes! it's really good I read it a while back and I forgot about tales of the jedi which was messing it up in my memory - I think it's my preferred interpretation - I was just thinking about it the other day and I couldn't quite remember if something had superseded it - thanks for the reply!
