It's very exciting to see a Club 129 sequel! The larger sprites and paperdoll style animations look super neat! This game has a bit of a different feel with a smaller area and unique characters with dialogue options. There's more of a sense of wanting to revisit everyone and see if there's new text or events, and I'm looking forward to seeing more interactions! I really like the designs of the jelly queen and prince.
Oh yes. My plan for this project is to not over scope (hopefully). I want fewer areas with more stuff to do and less NPCs with more personality and meaningful interactions.
Also part of the reason why I wanted to make a new game instead of updating Club 129 was so that I could rework and optimize the foundation of the game. I feel this opens more possibilities in the future.
