Posting about all of it. Possibly overthinking the whole thing.

Been working on an unlock system for #Solitomb the last few days! A nice mix of design, coding, graphics and UI work 😇
Ways to go still, but happy with this initial stab at a demonic seal that you'll get to break! 🤗

Back from holidays and hard at work on Solitomb! 💪
Mostly behind-the-scenes progress in August, but today's thing is quite visible: "environment" cards tied to dungeon locations.
These boulders get in the way quite a bit, but you can also use them to your advantage... 🧠

Happy with the mechanics for the boss battles now, still working out the interface ✏️
Quick question here to help me out: the boss is targeting one of your cards with a move that charges over time. Can you read from this UI how many turns until the card gets hit? 🧐

Prototyping boss fights for Solitomb this week 🛠️
Very WIP sketch, but already plays quite well - whooping the demon's butt feels *so* nice after it's been harassing me throughout the entire run! 😤
Next step: make the mechanics readable to people who aren't me! 😅

Quickly throwing together a new arena so that I actually have room to prototype a boss fight! 😅
For now, just imagine a gigantic demon looming in that black void 👿

After some time deep in the tank, here's a first look at the new Solitomb!
Took a while to get here, but with the visual style set and original #pico8 mechanics reimplemented, I'm now free to expand on the formula ⚒️
Expect more updates as I go 🌞

There is a depth map done manually - but it's quick work compared to 3D modeling, and you can use existing 2D art, unlike with a model.
It looks pretty good with solid objects/characters as well, as long as you keep to small angles (can't show examples since I tested with copyrighed art).

Putting a little bit more stress on the thing.

The Steam Winter Sale is on!
Normally, I'd post some nice Slipways screenshots and a link, but this time, you get this heartwarming recent review instead - from a person with 1460 hours of playtime 🤯
Okay, I'm still doing the link 😅

Just a reminder that Solitomb plays perfectly well on a phone (and even better since the 1.1 update!) 💡
All you have to do is direct your phone's browser to krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb - once the page loads, you don't even need an internet connection anymore 🙈

Possibly *the* feature of the upcoming Solitomb 1.1 update! 😂
I mean, there'll also be 5 new items, 2 monsters, a new difficulty level, mobile improvements and balance changes - but we all know petting clouds is where it's at 😇
Coming out this Monday! 📆

Just played a very fun Solitomb build focusing on high-ranked cards - something that's much easier to put together with the new post-update abilities 🤗

Hero cards are brighter (attaching a very work-in-progress version).
The idea is to be able to tell apart hero cards from monsters at a glance, as well as face-down/face-up. I'll likely be tweaking colors once I can get a feel for them in-engine (it's hard to judge with just static pictures).
