    Finished the Goblins. They are a bit easier than the other ones since they are bipedal humanoids. They currently only have idle and run animations for now. I just need one more enemy plus some bosses I don’t know yet for the forest level and I think that’s it. I’m planning to start working on…

    Hello! Haven’t done as much as I hoped this week, but I finally got the control rig done for the bird enemy. It was a bit harder than I thought. Overall, my pace has been a bit faster lately and I have more free time now. I’m able to do a short update a week.…

    Didn’t do much this week. I’m sick -_- Anyway I kinda redid the main char. I’m also currently redoing animations since the run cycle is a bit broken.

    Hello! Managed to do some work on the main menu. Everything is still temporary and most of the buttons aren’t working yet. I also added drawings as temporary placeholders to see how they look. I need to hire an actual artist once everything plans out. -_- I also reevaluated my plans these past weeks, which…

    Still not as much free time, so no video -_-. I decided to work on 3D stuff and start redoing my characters. I ended up sticking to the original design and added 5 fingers instead of just an open palm. I improved the base model, but it’s pretty minor. I’m planning to have just 3…

    Started getting busy again and didn’t have as much free time as before. Nothing much has been finished, so no video today sorry -_-. I’ve been working on a dialog event system from scratch, and it’s still a work in progress. It is used when talking to single NPCs and treasure chests. For full story…

    Another area will be a tech/robotic/scifi type area. It will be a tower and the level design will be vertical. I’ve only done the entrance for now and it still needs more details. Not much as been done since I wasted a week trying to make a minigame then abandoned it -_-.

    Another update. I’m planning to have 4 major areas in the game. One is a ruins/temple/aqueduct area similar to the one in the previous Crystal Story. So far, I’ve only modeled a few pieces and haven’t finished working on a full level yet. I kept redoing the textures and the walls just to make it…

    If you guys didn’t know, I’m a big fan of the ff13 series. So i’m currently playing around with the multi action turn based system. I’ve been also playing a lot of bravely default, so that helped a lot. Here’s a pretty rough look on how it works: In the previous game you can only…
