We're switching from Game Maker to @godotengine.org for easier 3D world handling, as well as implemented character switching (like in Superstar Saga!)
We're also happy to announce our new Lead Programmer joining us - Eezstreet!

Was looking through Mario and Luigi RPG key art, and for some reason this was one of the results. This isn't Mario & Luigi who're these guys???

Items are usable yet again! Complete with a new, more expressive and fluid animation. We're getting closer and closer to getting back where we were with the old battle system... but now with so much more style and charm! #Varminal #Indiegame #Indiedev

With a new art style and more skill on the team, we were finally able to finally make the menus according to the first concept behind them - now Plink displays every option, not just the move icons! A small diegetic touch to tie UI and the game world a little. #varminal #indiegames #indiedev

Updated designs warrant updates to the game's sprites as well!
The graphics our latest demo used were over 2 years old, so it was high time for one last overhaul!
The new sprites are bigger, more fluid, expressive, colorful, and simply look better! #Varminal

The facelifts keep coming, and so does the game's overall progress! Take a look at our vibrant new tileset for the sewer area, made by @gardy102.bsky.social, as our duo jumps on through in a fully functional 2.5D engine, all coded by our skilled programmer MaxL0s!

The character sprites aren't the only thing that look much better - thanks to our new Tile Artist @gardy102.bsky.social, the environments also got a massive upgrade!
The difference between the old and new art is night and day, isn't it?

More overworld progress! Finally, one of the enemies is in, and able to notice and chase you! They're not yet interact-able, but that won't be for long.

We got the new directional movement sprites fully animated and working now, and they really do hit different in motion, don't they?
With animations this bouncy, we're starting to live up to the graphical legacy of the Mario & Luigi series!
