Early post for #ScreenshotSaturday - a sneak peak of the White Witch boss, defending the church from your unholy menace!
Used @otsoga_'s brilliant sprite as a base, let me know what you think!

Not posted for #ScreenshotSaturday in a while so it's time to share what I've been working on this week - got a fun bug implementing pixel-perfect collisions

Another small update for #ScreenshotSaturday Let me know what you think of this for an updated UI.
Can't decide on a Toast to minimise the amount of screen covered or to just block off the bottom of the screen.

Updated player sprite for #ScreenshotSaturday - Skully has gained a spine for the second level!

Another week, another #ScreenshotSaturday!
Will-o-Wisps have gotten a buff in the second level - they'll now charge up before firing a quick lightning bolt at the player.

@Ajo1322 Just finished adding a new enemy!

Golems and destructible rock bullets implemented! Went with bronze and brown rocks to increase readability against the church background

New enemy for the Church level for #ScreenshotSaturday - a totally normal tome that certainly won't spew a curtain of bullets at you. Let me know what you think!

@IndeedImMarcus @LuizGdeMelo Worried that the iron one wasn't as readable against the background, but I do like the colours on it more

[Abyssal Thistle @AbyssalThistle]

Working on a new enemy, using @LuizGdeMelo's fantastic CC0 sprites as a base, and I can't decide between iron or bronze - which do you prefer?

[Abyssal Thistle @AbyssalThistle]

@Dolores_Ent @ZdenekDolezal @LuizGdeMelo That's what I'm leaning towards!

[Abyssal Thistle @AbyssalThistle]

OGL 1.0a and #OpenDnD was what enabled #DnD 3.5e and 5e to explode into popularity. OGL 1.1 destroys this, reaches into creator's pockets and attempts to steal their intellectual property. Blatant attempt by #WotC to prop up #Hasbro. Bravo 👏👏

[Abyssal Thistle @AbyssalThistle]

First #ScreenshotSaturday of 2023 🎉
I've been working on level transitions - right now it's just a box being drawn over the screen with #Raylib instead of any fancy shader effects. Let me know what you think!

@Fox_Centurion @ChaosCut Thanks for the feedback! Yeah planning on adding subtle animations like glowing round the stars, from the church window etc. Shooting star is an idea I hadn't considered, thanks!🌠
