Okay, the jam theme took a bit to be announced but it's about care. I decided to go with a platformer, never done one in RPG In A Box and I think being careful in a platformer could be fine enough idea that fits the jam. Using halloween themed characters to save time

2 days for Jam to start so in the meanwhile I'm progressing with my cellar side project. Changed the camera, added first enemy and some audio, still lots of work with this but it's coming together nicely.

Here's only footage of the RPG Maker project I did in 2023. Pretty much trash, but you gotta start somewhere. I hit some kind of bug with the project and cancelled it. I think I own every RPG Maker, should make use of them haha. Maybe I will? Could be fun

Been distro hopping in typical Linux fashion but I've also gotten some work done, first look on the new prison map, part of the 0.2 update

Oh, and if you wonder, I chose to pick CachyOS

First new thing to the 0.2 update will be a new zombie model. The original is really not accurate for medieval setting. New model uses rusty armor now.

As someone who's been in this for the long haul, and seen it break more than not, I get it. I can already see game dev bsky coming out of the woodwork with the cautionary tales. I still fundamentally believe it is good to dream.

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

Closer To Release :: Minaridev
So, around one month of development and Crypta is almost ready for it's public release. Sure, the finished build is quite lacking in features and content but I want to do early access-type of release in order to make Crypta: Depths of Darkness better game than what came before it.
