I made the player really fast because I needed to test something and walking around slowly to do it was boring, and it was really fun and now I think maybe this should be a racing game instead

Alright, tiles still need actual art, but other than that I think I'm done converting the actual code to work with isometric tiles!

New level up screen! You can now see move info before choosing which move to forget.

Forgot to share this the other day, but menus are pretty now.
Today I'll keep adding and animating more moves. Got some pretty fun ones in already, looking forward to sharing them at some point.

Alright, now the "command" button is gone and the critter automatically locks on to enemies, and goes back to the player when they're far enough.

There's definitely a game here, I just don't know if it's a game other people will enjoy. I kinda like it, and I think I'll like it even more when everything is animated and polished, but I dunno.

Alright, here's it in two parts.

Alright, here's the current state of things. Still a looong way to go.

Hud update! I've also set up the map so it only shows rooms you've visited, which makes for better gameplay but worse screenshots, so I've turned that off here.

There are now different room layouts and it remembers whether or not you've cleared rooms. It also generates boss rooms (which are always connected to just one room) and treasure rooms - but right now those are just empty.
It might be getting to a point where I could start making actual art soon.

And now it's a real map! Sort of. Sadly I have to go to bed now and won't be able to touch the game again for a few days. It's been fun, though :)

Now I can generate little dungeon maps. This was simultaneously easier and harder than I thought it would be.

Starting off, critters now have stats and levels, and damage dealt is displayed.

Alright, some people wanted to see the early stages, so here we go. Real-time critter combat, where you don't control your critter directly, but instead give it orders and lead it around the stage.

alright, here's some early design stuff. none of it is final at this stage and I'm especially going back and forth on how I want to handle colors for the project as a whole.
that said, enjoy my first attempt at a critter evolution line!
