Sept-Oct 2023 - Map 4 almost done!


Happy Halloween, adventurers!

It's been 2 months, so it's finally time for another devlog!  It's not spooky or anything, it just happens to be Halloween.

2 months ago, I finished map 3. Now, map 4 of 9 is almost done, just a boss or two to make!
Work on it went quick, mostly because I already had a lot of ideas for this map, and had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Also made a bunch of new enemies and stuff, including quite a big addition: Critical hits!
Such a simple thing has made a nice difference in combat, helping offset my feelings that some enemies take too long to kill. It's satisfying hearing the critical sound too.

That's it for this month.
I'm starting to feel low on creative juices again, but hopefully see you in another 2 months, at year's end, for another devlog, where I hope to be deep in development of map 5!

Have a good rest of the year!
