End of the "optimization week"! Not much new content, but went from 30 to 130 stable FPS on low-end, no GPU laptop. Because you know what's NOT cozy and chill? DROPPED FRAMES! Also, save system ✨

(If you want cozy and chill, you can wishlist #ChloroLink on #Steam <3)

Aquaga is a tree that automatically brings water to the other plants nearby. And... you can pop the bubbles if you feel like it 💚(It does nothing. But it's satisfying!! isn't that what we should all aim for?)

We use the Herbarium to better express core mechanics (and hide special things but shhhh 💚)
It's a great occasion to add schemas and artworks ✨

The art vs the artist
Key art for our game ChloroLink. It's a tree trunk and roots surrounded with grass and flowers in the tree shade. Me, in the middle of a green grassy open field against a cloudy sky

#ChloroLink is a small management AND exploration game. And what's exploration without hidden collectibles!? First appearance of a Luxicorn, that you will have to find and collect!

When you're a french game writer, working on a plant game and you want scientific sounding names for your cute plants (aka just silly words but in latin)

We strongly believe a part of making videogames is about art and the creation process, so here is a time-lapse of one of our #ChloroLink asset made by @zdieska.bsky.social! Can you tell which flower it's inspired from? <3

Too bad you don't have the sound (yet!) to hear those popping bubbles... it's very satisfying! <3
If you pop one, all the full bubbles around are cascading!

#ChloroLink will be a cosy game, for sure.
But you know what is *not* cosy? Working on a cosy game

I promise, I'll write all the lore needed @laywelin.bsky.social 😌
I'll panic while writing it, but it will be the chillest ever

UI color tint when night comes is my favorite feature! Now to add some light underglow to match the fireflies...
How do you feel about UI reacting to day/night cycle? <3
