Sorry I posted the wrong link, so here's another post!
Working on UI can suck somtimes, and I've been postponing the settings menu due to not knowing exactly how I wanted it, but here's a quick peek at how it's looking so far, and I'm quite satisfied with it 🧮

I wasn't sure if I was going to post this, as it kinda spoils some of the dungeon, but here's a peek at the bossfight in the dungeon that I've previously showcased. It's still WIP and got some placeholders, but I'd love your feedback🦋🍃

Now that we can properly see through objects that's obscuring the player, I've finally been able to add some larger trees to forest areas, like this new thicc oak tree 🍃

These few last days I've been remaking the village that the game starts in. It's now located in a steep terrain area right at the edge of a dark and dangerous forest👀🌿 Any thoughts?

[The Ballad of Bellum]
Here is a brief look at an enemy I've been working on. The 'Bushcrab' lurks in tall grass and thrives in shaded areas, often found in forests and other areas away from commonly traveled roads🍃🦀👀

What an amazing year this has been!
What started as a simple Zelda demo, has evolved throughout the year into an incredible project with over 16K followers and 6K wishlists on Steam! I really appreciate that so many people find this project interesting 🥳

I do think we'll see a lot more games with this style in the near future, but we'll see. Thanks! 🤩

I've been taking a short but health break from game dev to play some games instead, but I've still been doing some low effort stuff like cleaning up spagetti code and making new areas, like this one featuring a biggest lake in the game! 🌊🌾

Here's progress on the boat i briefly showcased last week! Boats and swimming will be to ways to access new areas or a shorter route to previous areas! I'm still working on the animations though🚣♀️

Today we've passed 5,000 wishlists!🤯
So to celebrate that, here’s the result of the water, which I'm really proud of!🌾🏄♂️
Added foam, more flora, caustics, and tweaked the underwater terrain colors to highlight shallow, walkable areas👀

Nothing too exciting to show today, but recently I've been working on adding deep water, making certain areas only traversable with swimming or a boat. I still need to make swimming though! And make the terrain under water form properly🏊♀️
