Here's a mechanic we never really showed before. At certain spots, you can go into the background! It'll mean things can have a more natural layout instead of every important object all being on one plane.
This is the last post in this series, until we get work done on the buildings and critters. Wish us luck!

The clouds are solid enough to build things on, but they shift around every day. Sometimes you'll have to make some big jumps to get to things that were easy to reach before... but sometimes you get lucky, and there's squishy rainbows to help you get around!

Here's what we've been working on for the past few weeks! This is the outskirts of the sky city that Cleru lives in. It'll act as a hub world, so we're making it extra-pretty! We don't actually have a name for this place yet though, so leave your ideas in the comments.
We'll be posting a new gif every few days for at least the next week, and hop...

Hello, Azure here! I just released a little browser game called Panel Flux, which is a random puzzle generator based on Panel de Pon. It has a bunch of difficulty settings, sick chiptunes, and a gif export button, so go check it out!
The generator was super fun to write and I think the logic is really interesting, so I thought I'd write an article ...

Spoodler, pt3
They can hang from stuff! If you hit them with enough berries then they fall down, but why would you want to do that?

Spoodlers are playful! They'll curl up into a ball and try to bean you, but they're so soft that it doesn't even hurt. They don't care for fruit, but they actually love being kicked around since their fluff absorbs all the impact. Sometimes they're a bit both...

It's a Spoodler! It hangs out in the clock tower, dances to the beat of the music and can roll up into a ball. It's completely harmless and just wants to play! This critter came out really good, so expect more spoodler gifs soon!

It's a turtle!
Check it out! I (Azure) haven't been feeling very good about my work ethic lately, so I shut off the internet to see how much I could get done in a row with zero distractions. Turns out, it's this entire turtle from scratch in about 4 hours!
What do you think we should call it?
2020-04-25 17:22:03 +0000 UTC View PostCave progress, pt.4
Slopes work! And they're procedural too, so any new tile I make in the future will automatically get sloped versions, which will save a TON of work. I think this "vertical slice" of the cave is basically done, but there will be more decorations and tiles for other parts of it.
Do people like these incremental small updates, by the way? We used t...

It's coming together! Next up is adding slopes and a few other foreground objects, like destructible crystals.
2020-04-15 22:04:52 +0000 UTC View PostCave progress, pt.2 (animated background!)
This is the background for the crystal caves, which is a very early-game environment so it needs to look super cool to set the mood! This is the first "actual" background for the game, so I'm really relieved it came out good. The outdoors one is just a clouds layer and some sunflowers, and I need to re-do that at some point. (Sorry for the video quality/framerate as usual, I need to get a computer upgrade later!)
