Hey everyone! Welcome back to my game journal series. I did a few things this week, so let's get into it! Also, if you're wondering about the thumbnail, it was just Valentines' Day (or Single Awareness Day for someone like me.) At least, that's the excuse I'm using. I just like Alastor, simple as.

Life update first as usual. I left one of my jobs, and should be getting a new one at a pizza place. I'm rather excited because I really love pizza, and it's a job where I get to cook and work with my hands. So yeah, I think I'll enjoy it! It's also within biking distance to my house, so I'll finally be able to do the dream where I can bike to work. Sweet!

The parts for my bookshelf did come in the mail, so I'll have some photos next time of my home. Not much left to clean up!

Onto game stuff. Recently, I updated this website's donate section to be a bit more accessible. Now you can donate through Ko-Fi, which uses paypal. You can also commission me through the same link, or add monthly payments to support me. I'll be completely honest with you, any money I get will instantly go into my mortgatge. Haha.

Here is the changelog for what I did:

  • Added Alchemist

  • Added the ability to use items in battle and in the overworld

  • Started work on the skills menu for using moves in the overworld

  • Fixed some bugs with the battle system.

The game is really coming along now. I'll have a new demo probably by March, then after that it'll just be me adding the story in. Fun times!

Here's the update video.
