nothing to worry about. I hope to find a way to balance developing Magical Girl Saga and other things in my life, and I'm quite confident I can do that.

Well, that concludes this update, I just wanted to come and say I'm not dead, I'm still here, just focusing on other stuff, so no worries!

week or so. I'm also working with one of my artists on creating new assets for my website and social media branding for my bsky, and my sprite artist is working on making new sprites based on the concept art I scribbled for the game, so there's some stuff to look forward to. But for now, there's-

Hello all,

I just wanted to come on here and say that, no, I didn't stop working on Magical Girl Saga, but instead, I took a break on working on the game so I could focus on finding at least part-time employment. I plan on returning to work on Magical Girl Saga very soon, hopefully in the next-

It also works on other characters as well as the main character, I just opted to only show the main player using it to get the point across. Now to debug the inventory menu a bit more and it should be nearing what I envisioned.

Another minor update to my game, this time, there's text that tells you what item you've used and what it does when you use it, followed by the inventory reopening back to the last inventory the user was using when the dialogue is dismissed.

Some concept sketches of the main character in my game, Jeanne and her companion and one of the enrollable party members, Kylie. I've got some new sprites in progress based on these sketches, so I hope I'll be able to show those off soon!

Minor update to my game, we've got the ability to use items on all characters in the player's party as well as assign weapons to all characters in the player's party. Now to just work on adding text that tells you what item you've just used.

Speaking of new website updates I've been working on that I mentioned in my thread, I've got my bluesky feed to show up on the main page of my website, so now when you visit my website, you're greeted with a video from my YouTube channel as well as a scrollable container with my bluesky feed!

be back on my feet soon and can push an update out in time for screenshot Saturday as well.

-my website and putting my game on the backlog, but I assure you, once this winter term ends in a couple of weeks and I'm no longer sick, I will def be back working on my game at least part time!

In the meantime, I hope you all can forgive me for lack of updates on my game, but here's hoping I'll-

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posting about my game. I've been battling the flu and also got swamped with work from winter term courses (I'm supposed to graduate in a couple of weeks when the winter term is over) and I've been working on all my university work as well as working on stuff on-

These sketches are both done by me, but my concept artist has more sketches we've been working on and my sprite artist was the one who went over one of my sketches with colour just to block out how to do the sprite.

Not neccessarily a screenshot Saturday, but my sprite artist, my concept artist and I are all working out a new design for Magical Girl Saga's main player character, Jeanne. We have a good start so far and my sprite artist is working on a sprite based on the new design.

Plus I also linked my Google Workspace so I can get email notifs on my phone, so I'll always know when someone's submitted a form to contact me.

Not a game update this time, but a website update! I added in a contact form on my contact info page using Nodemailer and my Google Workspace account, so now people can reach out to me through my website!

Eventually, all weapons will have a unique set of attacks to use and the attack option won't be able to be used without a weapon equipped (but magic is still useable regardless of whether a weapon is equipped and some magic will deal damage when used)

Today's #screenshotsaturday: working on the battle system, implementing the attack options depending on whether a weapon is equipped or not.

Today's #screenshotsaturday: Battle animations! I created a prototype animation for the player and player party and implemented it to currently work with the party members (still working on getting it to work with the player)

Finishing up the last of the minor bug fixes in the weapon equipment system, just need to fix one small bug with weapon unequipping (not shown in the clip but essentially is just the party members' weapon doesn't unequip properly) and the weapon equipment system for my game will be (mostly) finished

aww it seems like the gif got messed up on bsky, but that's okay! Here's a screenshot instead of the cursor over one of the player's party members.

Minor progress today for #screenshotsaturday: Finally fixed the cursor so that it properly highlights the currently hovered over character.

Now to move on to debugging the weapons inventory system and we should be all set on that!

✨INTRODUCTION THREAD ✨
Hello wonderful bluesky people! My name is Destiny (also known as Dawnlight or Dawnlight Dev)! I'm a 21 year old in my last semester of undergraduate studies in Computer Science. I'm also an indie game developer working on a game in the #GodotEngine, Magical Girl Saga!

I'm also using more placeholder assets from various itch.io asset packs to prototype all these programmable systems, so those'll change once my sprite artist and I work together to make new sprites.

Minor progress: Added in character icons on the corner of each currently equipped weapon slot so you can now tell which character has the weapon equipped, even if they aren't in the player's current party.

Now to fix the bug I created with the cursor lol
