This is what the game's #coverart / #boxart would look like if it were published by Nintendo or Sega.

Sorry I posted the wrong link, so here's another post!
Working on UI can suck somtimes, and I've been postponing the settings menu due to not knowing exactly how I wanted it, but here's a quick peek at how it's looking so far, and I'm quite satisfied with it 🧮

I wasn't sure if I was going to post this, as it kinda spoils some of the dungeon, but here's a peek at the bossfight in the dungeon that I've previously showcased. It's still WIP and got some placeholders, but I'd love your feedback🦋🍃

Now that we can properly see through objects that's obscuring the player, I've finally been able to add some larger trees to forest areas, like this new thicc oak tree 🍃

Just added a targeting system I'm really happy with! 🎯 You can cycle through all enemies within a region, or manually target with the 'free aim' mode . Got some great feedback about it in our Discord! Feel free to join 👀(linktree in bio)

These few last days I've been remaking the village that the game starts in. It's now located in a steep terrain area right at the edge of a dark and dangerous forest👀🌿 Any thoughts?
