Hello everyone!
[0.3.2c Bug Fix - Added new Skill Crystal to the Manor Courtyard and Somewhere Between Time and Space. Use this to learn skills that were added later in development for older saves!)
Today marks that it has been one year since I uploaded the first build of Mira Co Rescue to itch.io! It has been an interesting year of making art, programming, and bug fixing along with meeting plenty of fans and other creators through this little project of mine. There is still plenty to do but I figured I would look back over the year and see what I was able to accomplish in this last year.
-Completed Three Maps: Forest Path, Emma's Garden, and Spider Girl Cave. One WIP map for the Khrono Tomb as well.
-16 different enemies (Luckily I moved away from sharing the slime art between boss/standard enemy from the first zone where 3 enemies technically share the same peril sprites)
-168 Unique Battle Sprites that avoid reusing poses as much as possible. As we move forward it is getting increasingly more difficult to not accidentally share a similar posing...
-16 Event related images. I'll be adding more events that will add more peril situations outside of the 'dungeon' maps.
-7 Game Over Sequences of 5 images each (for a total of 35 CGs). Only one more Game Over to do for Emma's Garden then we'll have two maps with their respective Game Overs implemented.
With all the face images, on map items, peril icons, custom battle backs, and changes to various systems there is probably over 300 art assets I've completed over the last year which is a whole lot more than I'd ever get done in a normal year so I'd say it was fairly successful.
I'd like to thank everyone who has viewed, supported, played, commented, and interacted with me throughout this last year. It has been a very interesting experience that I am glad I took the dive into last year. While this is still sort of a personal passion project I am happy to see so many people enjoying the content. Here is to another year of game development!
I've also posted a WIP of a new scene. It seems that someone followed Mira home after clearing out the Forest Path.
