Happy (almost) Halloween from the Pumpkin King. :)

Arena of Suffering is live on Steam!

Try the demo if you're on the fence, or jump right in and start ripping through all these bosses. They're not going to defeat themselves! :)

Holidays over and back to work. The battle system is really coming along well. I've added a nice auto attack (hold click on a monster and watch everyone dogpile them). Good for ending fights or smaller encounters.

Our first game goes live next Tuesday! I've already learned so many new tricks that it's hard not to go back and reinvent it, but I still love this cutie.

Every day can be Caturday if you try hard enough. At least, this kittie thinks so. #JRPG, #IndieGame, #SteamNextFest, #ArenaOfSuffering, #Caturday

Thanks to Beef Gravy Studios for checking out our game and for the review. Fun folks! :)

I know that in the long run I need to make a better Header Capsule for my game. This one is just GIMPed together, and it shows. But man, capsule work is tricky--always more to learn. Have a great weekend everyone!‪

The first major spell of the new engine. I wanted to combine a few things at once. Projectiles, tracking, our emitters, and sound. Heck yeah! :) Next challenge--going back to more engine development instead of making 20 more spells. :)

Movement Testing

I implemented the new movement system and hooked in a temp footstep sound. I'm 48, and this still made me crack up for way too long. I wasn't going to post today (still in menu hell), but this was a fun break. :)

I haven't been doing mapwork lately (tons of battle internals). But I had a great bug and wanted to show it off. My characters look . . . larger than intended. Oops. Initiative tracker is working though! And the Log. :)

Okay, the Character Status window is working without any hard coding. Fully populating off of data (thank all the fates). I'm going for a crisp, minimal look for the window colors. But I don't want it to be bland either. Have I gone too far?

Godot continues to be a lot of fun to work with. The weather system and new map layering systems are playing with each other (correctly!). And Audio is still happy. Heck yeah. Make a Darude Meme or MST3K? Bah, no time! :)

One of the things that I've found the hardest to change about RPG Maker's systems is the "simple" stuff: menus and UI layout. It fights back when you try to change it.

Which JRPG has the best UI in recent years from your experiences?
