lots of bts stuff goin on! But up next on my list was to add name plates to text boxes so its a bit easier to tell whos talking, as ive had a few complaints. Just gotta give it some stylization, lmk what you think!

polishing up the boss death state! They now syphon your soul in order to heal themself, limiting you to three chances per atempt, lest you wither away entirely. someone also suggested degrading the ui over time wich I may also try

lots of behind the scenes tweaks today. i added an intro objective to the ruins as a few people thought you could attack without the weapon. i also fixed up soem text overlap in the text boxes, though the font still need a bit of work.

finally figured out how to add a custom font thanks to the help of FReDs on the pico8 discord! It definetly still needs some work, if you have any suggestions on how to make it more readable please let me know!
