YesterSol - A metroidvania I make in my free time. (Almost Finished Yay!)

UPDATE: GAME IS 95% Finished! (Doing the final boss + NPC placement/story + Localization!) DEMO+WISHLIST 💛 🎮 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3939220/YesterSol_Demo/ This is a Metroidvania game I'm making in my free time using the Unity game engine and Photoshop for art. This game started in a Metroidvania game jam I took part in. I liked the idea so much, I decided to turn it into a much larger game! The main hook: The magical SunSpear. Certain people are able to slightly control the spear as it flies through the air. They were forged by an old extinct people that worshiped the sun deity Sol. It is still a very early work in progress for the lore, so many things can change, so any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated! The main character: You are Corin, a young Soladin, a sun warrior, but you are only a trainee. You wield a magical Sun-Spear that you can throw, recall, and use as a platform! Your small desert village has been destroyed by the monstrous mosquito minions of an old evil deity that was once trapped in the moon. You have decided to discover where they came from to stop this from happening again... You make your way into a cursed land that you have only read about in books. It is an ancient underground city that is still powered by an ancient heatseed that produces steam... Here the once great SolLuna Kingdom reigned but over time their was a split in beliefs that causes an all out civil war. Corin must fight his way to a solution! Please subscribe to my YouTube to follow the game's productions :D I am building out the world map and brainstorming more mechanics to add... but also trying my best to not over-scope or succumb to scope creep hehe. Also, I am designing more enemies and bosses. Finally, I am always expanding on the world building and lore. I find that to be one of the most fun things to do. (Perhaps I should try writing a novel? haha) Please let me know if you have any thoughts and ideas for the game in the comments here or on YouTube. Have a great day!

ALMOST DONE!

The whole world is built.
Finalizing Story / NPC dialog and placement.
Finishing Final Boss and Ending art.
and ... LOCALIZATION! (so tedious and hard in my noob dialog system)

Wow I did NextFest so long ago... In case anyone is curious I went into the festival with 1000ish wishlists and ended with 2700, so almost tripled :D

I think I should have waited 1 more Next Fest.

Why do you think you should have waited 1 more Next Fest?

I’m thinking about participating in the Next Fest soon, so that’s why I’m curious about this.
