Not the most exciting thing but now in addition to being able to recruit a max of 16 characters you can also dismiss characters to free space to recruit new ones. I don’t suspect many people will need this but atleast it’s there now #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #rpg #jrpg

Few changes to the recruit screen: raised the max number of recruitable characters from 8 to 16 and now when swapping reserve chars into your party it displays the sprite of their class next to their name

I added an option in the pause menu to rename your party members, so now if you named your party members something dumb like A, B, C, D you don’t have to be stuck with it the whole game lol

‪Oh ya I also rewrote the class descriptions to have a little more detail. There’s not a lot of room for text on the screen but I tried to give atleast some basic info to better inform your picks‬

Even though I kinda wanna give you a small stat penalty without telling you for bypassing the quiz results 😈

But I won’t…

Additional 4 character. Before you had to recruit a 5th character of your choice and swap it with the first character, so this just saves a few steps

This technically lets you kind of bypass the quiz, but we didn’t want to remove the quiz altogether since we like it and other people like it too, it’s a very retro rpg sort of thing.

You could technically bypass the pick before anyway, since the game lets you recruit an

Even though we like how tue morality quiz at the start of the game determines your first chars class, some people were annoyed they couldn’t pick it so now you’ll be able to tell the king you don’t like his pick and pick something else #rpg #indiegame #gamedev #retrogaming #jrpg

Very true. On an unrelated note I’m trying to see if anyone needs a new music app and wants to join my family plan and split the cost….

Maybe they didn’t want the bears to sound too Jewish, which would be pretty weird

Have you ever done a walrus? Could be a cool character to add to the dream seal world if not.

I designed it a long time ago but I think the text box design was inspired by ultima 4 on the nes. The pause menu layout was inspired by ultima 3 nes and there’s some classic dragon quest inspiration in there too

Thanks! It’s one of my favorite overworld sprites too. This is the standard portrait for these npcs but the one from the top post is for a special npc
