Of the feedback I received the most common one is that the shop menu is far too cryptic. So I added icons for better readability and item description.

Working on certain improvements to current World 8 state. Though overall I think it came out better than I was afraid it'd mesh, some points need revamping, including the *elevator sequence*. So, this dude hops in.

And World 8 update for #compactplasmagears is up on Steam! Time to start working on the endgame! The game's in Early Access by the way for 5 bucks, plus there's a fat demo.

I think I managed to get the pausing on Steam overlay unlocking to work with my game. I used approach from this article unrealcommunity.wiki/pause-game-o... but dumbed it down to two checks of a boolean. Seems to be working :3

Was hoping to be done with main work on level 8, but my HP is down to 0 already. However, pulled together the functional layout for the 8th bossroom. Yes, it rotates.

very early iteration, of course

I have more or less finalised the splash art for upcoming level 8 of #compactplasmagears
this level is supposed to be the last level of the "base game" with the following 2 or 3 (there are some considerations) being sort of "endgame" section
