I was of three minds. Like a room, in which there are three frogs.

Any Godot programmers looking to join a small team making a JRPG? If so, give me a shout!

(Game is in early stages, backgrounds being redone, but some screens here and vids on my page of a pre-alpha :D)

I am so happy with how it turned out. There was a game from that era called grandia that had really nice dinner scenes like this, where you could just chat with your party for a while. Love the fft style graphics as well.

Been working on the sfx for Sleep and Game Over. Using guyengine v2 for some really nice psx-era samples.

For sure man, looking forward to seeing it unfold.

I was kinda similar tbh, didnโ€™t have much use for social media. But so far bsky has been pretty good. Waiting to get a steam page and trailer before going too far down the marketing wormhole.

Hahahh. Gotta love bit-crushed bongos.

I saw your teaser trailer - very enticing stuff ๐Ÿ‘€

Really loving the new 32bit engine! The brave fencer-style samples are some of my favorite.
