The crafting system in Hallowed Crossing was the first game system I implemented from scratch. Today, I went back to it and added a much-needed feature: progress bars! Now you can see the progress of items being crafted within the menu and on the overworld.

A screenshot of a pixel game menu for crafting. In the sidebar, one item is in progress. On the main part of the menu, three recipes are available, and one is not unlocked.

It's dandelion season! Did you know that dandelions are considered a weed not because lawn-owners find them unsightly, but because they choke out the other plants around them?

The witch's daughter, Sparrow, is a shy and gentle soul who enjoys making plushies. She's one of three initial romance options for Hallowed Crossing- and she's trans. Happy #TDOV 🏳️‍⚧️💕

I decided to include flint corn instead of sweet corn in Hallowed Crossing as a nod to the First Nations people who are the original and continuing stewards of the land on which I live.

I still need to write a proper summary of this game but I've been working hard on it. Here's a screencap of progress from a month or two ago.
