My spouse is fighting a boss in Silksong and I ask him a question:

Spouse: "Sorry, I cannot process your question at this moment. Please leave a message after the sound signal."

The skill effects SHINE ✨ (Bloom intensity will be tweaked)

Aand immediately after my computer crashed, lovely

I've made some death animations, damage numbers and implemented sounds (that you can't hear in a gif) All of them could be prettier, but bed calls

#gamedev #indiedev

Sometimes I feel really bad about having worked on this game for 3 years and only now am I implementing some super basic stuff.

Then I remember we switched engines only 3 months ago, so of course a lot has to be made from scratch and maybe I should be a bit less hard on myself

Working on the battle flow now. Of corse still missing a lot of details, but at least something happens now visually.

Next I'll implement a death animation, sounds and damage numbers. I also want emission maps for the skills, but that might have to wait a bit.

I heard her voice while reading the post 🥵

Birds are actually low key terrifying? Super impressive work!

Take all the time you need and take care 🫂 Can't wait to see what you have in store, but I'll wait patiently ^^

They are beautiful!

💠 Our current wishlist count stands at 57 (+11) We gained double the amount of wishlists from last sprint! I'm sure Vivis social media efforts are to thank for this. If you haven't already done so, please wishlist out game at tinyurl.com/CrystalinCar...

Skill tree prototype

💠 I'm most proud of the skill tree prototype I worked overtime on, so I will attach that screenshot right here ^^

Marketing:

💠 I did a lot of polishing for our store assets on Steam as frankly the screenshots there were quite ass. Took new higher quality screenshots in Unity. If you are interested in some new screenshots you can see them on the store page.

Story:
💠 Not much story progress this sprint, unless we count that we quickly went over Elmo's latest chapter (Willow 15) that was already done last sprint.

💠 I made a bunch of QoL improvements to the script parser that translates our ink script to Unity.

It's nice when pictures are in the middle by default and not in some arbitrary corner, or that the game has a default expression and position for a character portrait, if unspecified

Coding:
💠 I implemented walking animations and step sounds for units in game

A cryptera. Wild giant insect that has been frenzied by environmental crystalline pollution

💠 Hani wants to share some of their pixel art featuring a cryptera, a type of monster native to our game's world

#pixelart

💠 I finished the pixel art for Eloise's gameplay sprites. Now that they are done, Vivi and Hani will take over the pixel art production of characters, allowing me to put more of my time into coding ^^

💠 I finished all the expressions for Countess Felicite and also tweaked her design (yet again. At least her spine's no longer broken and she has a nice headdress). That's 34 expressions in total, since she has two sets of outfits.

Willow Fletcher lay on the ground, her heart bleeding out of time. Her battle is over and she lost. Her luckier half will now lead Vivestria to a new future without her. She loves Eloise, but Willow cannot forgive her.

Art:
💠As one can probably guess from the updated devlog banner:
We commissioned @ormurinn.bsky.social for another key art piece for our game! This one is of Willow. It would be unfair if only Eloise got a key art piece, so of course we needed a second one! And My did Ormurinn do such good work ^^

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #21

It's been quite a stressful sprint. I managed to hire a renovation company straight from hell to paint our walls. I'm honestly surprised how much I personally got done despite dealing with that!

A very art-heavy 🧵™

Oh no 😭

I've got three packages that were all delivered to different locations, because there isn't always space in the main post locker. Big sigh.

Barnabas is a comic relief character and probably my favorite. he's a man misplaced in time. He's an excellent mercenary, but he would absolutely THRIVE in today's workplace culture. He speaks like he's from medieval LinkedIn. He is a true menace and I love him.

Willow Fletcher lay on the ground, her heart bleeding out of time. Her battle is over and she lost. Her luckier half will now lead Vivestria to a new future without her. She loves Eloise, but Willow cannot forgive her.

I commissioned @ormurinn.bsky.social for a second piece of keyart for my game! When there are two protagonists, it's not fair if only one of them has a fancy key art, and my, did Ormurinn do her justice! ❤️

Oh come on xD One can't make this shit up!

A wizard looking miffed at a guide on how to summon a demon. Except it is in cursive and he has just summoned a lemon

This is what I immediately thought of xD

Countess Felicite comes to mind (No, I cannot stop tweaking her design)

As the countess of Rieux, she's easily one of the richest characters we have and her life is pretty much non stop balls and politics = eats well, no boredom.

Though I would probabaly wind up getting assassinated in her shoes.
