Heading back into code land for a bit, but first... had to mockup how navigation is gonna work with this design. I've always done 16x16 "meta-tiles" before. Going with an 8x8 single-tile map means I gotta have the player walk along the "seams".

Today I worked on the "town" tileset. It shares a handful of tiles with the world map tileset, but includes a lot more people-sized details. Like tiny crates and water pots! Trying out palette variations so not every town has to look the same. Also, flowers! 🌼

Wow.
Our artist just came back with a final sketch that will be the basis for the oil painting that will be the final cover art for Drakenmaid when it launches.
It's beyond gorgeous, and it's why human artists are so invaluable.

Alpha Pairs NES dev update (sound on 🔊): it now opens with the new Embraceware logo jingle, and I found room for one more line from Dr. Atoz. After "Welcome to Alpha Pairs," he now asks "Are you ready to play?"
