Yes my concerns exactly! Thanks for taking the time to help, you're spot on.

Does this work for UI or is it too busy? I could add a background and see if that's better.

Thanks cheesy friend! The trick is making the fancy border for something totally different and slapping it together in a total unprecedented brain blast 🧠

I'm bad with UI so I sketched it on lined paper and put it through the threshold filter. This menu could be a good way to select components with an associated element and damage?

I've always had a fear of insects and the deep sea, so the next round of enemies will stick to this theme. Zombies and rats were not scary enough for the corrupted graveyard.

Still drawing the graveyard area, hopefully I will be able to finish it up and put this into the engine this weekend.

Mockup of a dark fantasy game UI. On the left, an isometric view shows a tiny hooded figure in a pointed hat standing near a hut with a glowing red bonfire. The scene is painted in icy blues, sandy yellows, and mossy greens, with cliff edges and a shoreline below. On the right, a portrait of a pale witch with large dark eyes, a hat tied with red string on their head, and large metal keys through their cheeks. Below the portrait, an interface bar shows strange symbols and inventory items: a worm shaped like the infinite, a drop of blood, and a potion bottle.

You awaken on a white shore, unsure what you’ve lost.

Dark rites brought me, @ratcasket.itch.io , and @puppiesandanime.bsky.social together.

Something stirs. More soon.

I must have spent 5 hours tweaking shaders today and I still don't know if I made it better! But here is Eliza's grave with fog.

It took the entire day but my mausoleum is now in Godot and looking pretty damn good. The scene is incomplete because I need some sleep, more updates tomorrow!

Thanks! I haven't really given that much thought yet as I don't have a fully playable build of the game, but after I do patreon demos for a while I will be thinking about Steam. Btw, really interesting what you are doing as well I like the redesigns!

I’ve added a Rose Garden to my dark fantasy game, Crimson Rest. This new room can help you get rid of monsters by activating the bramble trap, but be careful, it can hurt you too.

I spent today re-drawing the first prototype starting area I made way back for this game. Needs more work, but it will be an imposing and foreboding graveyard for humans and other things.

It will look better with some color corrections, here's an inaccurate example touched up on my phone.

I spent today trying to rebuild my first prototype area with better atmosphere and giant spider corpses to portend a dangerous enemy. This is just the first step to creating an imposing and spooky graveyard, needs some more love.

I've added a Ram which lets you smash into things without hurting yourself. It also comes with its own tiny highscore tracker :)
