oh my...what is going on here??

as usual it's our #screenshotsaturday on #screenshotsunday

this event/cutscene is taking *quite* a bit of work, but it's coming along nicely!

maybe you will get to see it soon? 👀

@ParaDymeTV @IGCollective @stricle Thanks! Still a long way to go, but the characters are adorable at least :)

[ToSaveAnIsland @ToSaveAnIsland]

@stricle aw they wouldn't do that though...I don't think 🤔 😬

[ToSaveAnIsland @ToSaveAnIsland]

humble apologies from our friends here at TSaI

everyone is too busy playing #SMT5 to do a proper screenshot this week

we'll be back next week to start introducing some npc friends!

[ToSaveAnIsland @ToSaveAnIsland]

this musical staff ui is still very wip but

@breakfastbat @stricle Well right now it's not a background, it's just another tile map so first step is making that an image I guess, unless I can get the tile map to behave that way

[ToSaveAnIsland @ToSaveAnIsland]

how does the depth/scope feel here?

want to give the feeling of being up high and looking out over the coast

still need to work on making the hill look better...

maybe just need some more tiles? @stricle 👀

@stricle I wish I could pay you to work on this "full time" with me 🥲

I think I get what you mean but not sure how to achieve the effect

[ToSaveAnIsland @ToSaveAnIsland]

ugh wow, the colors don't look so...puke yellow in the game. I think twitter is messing them up?

the colors are still placeholder really...and I'm not an artist...but they don't look like this in real life I swear

[ToSaveAnIsland @ToSaveAnIsland]

rough "arrangement" window for the music editor (w/some placeholder art)

you can view the parts of a song, add, delete, edit, etc

hoping to also have "play" and "view" song options, so you can see/hear all parts together

thoughts?

@PixelNoiseMusic @CrankyCarrot2 @ThePixelArtBot Oops looks like I replied from my audio account lol

I am bad at both gamedev and twitter 🥲

[ToSaveAnIsland @ToSaveAnIsland]

how does this look?

trying to make the layout as simple as possible/intuitive

you can assign an icon for each song to help you remember and identify it...thought that was a cute little touch <3
