How about a trip to the beach?

@IliaReingold The detail phase will come later once it's all functional. Thankfully, they're all groups that can be updated all at once.

Improving maps and exploration so that there are a lot of puzzles and treasures hidden in plain sight.
Any ideas for easter eggs?

@bootleg_bandit Wasn't in the plans because it's very character-oriented. But so many people are requesting it, I'll probably have to add something like outfits, hahah.

[CloudyFocus · Wishlist Adamant Heart! @iamcloudyfocus]

Amazed by the amount of feedback I've gotten after the first release! Already made some improvements to make combat more fun.

@Quto_Hunter It’s a game I’m making for fun, the Steam page is in the bio. The demo might come out soon, around July. Been working on it since August.

Added cute dialogue portraits since I can't afford voice acting (yet). Mostly to make conversations clearer, since there is a lot of radio talking.

Also, I decided to change the cutscene format so it only proceeds when you advance dialogue, like in OoT. Auto-advancing dialogue was pretty hard to time. Thanks to @TianiPixel for the inspo, the Abyss Zero gameplay was pretty nice!

@tonikopantoja @RegularStudio_ Motorslice rocks— vrooms? It’s so cool to see fanart being made for your indie followings.

@YahyaDanboos Massive congrats! Looking forward to hear more of this

[CloudyFocus · Wishlist Adamant Heart! @iamcloudyfocus]

@FourMatt1 It's meant to be like MML with Metroidvania elements, so all of these will be unlocks. The main idea is to have plenty of small nooks around the world that you can reach once you get more mobility.

[CloudyFocus · Wishlist Adamant Heart! @iamcloudyfocus]

Refined the Slide into something similar to Megaman X, where you can combo into a jump for longer distances. No control while sliding, though. Also, my first foray into 3D particles!

@suitNtie22 Come on, putting Green greens on any colorful game is like cheating, hahah.
Also, looking waaay better than most prototypes.

[CloudyFocus · Wishlist Adamant Heart! @iamcloudyfocus]

@FourMatt1 I’ll get to refining animations once I’m 100% certain they will stay, that’s for sure.

[CloudyFocus · Wishlist Adamant Heart! @iamcloudyfocus]

Was thinking on how to make overall movement more engaging, so here's the Slide! Similar to a combat roll, but probably next-to-no iframes. Also, Megaman X nostalgia!

@Capt_Char Still need to balance around cooldown times and maybe a stamina bar, but the idea from the start is to avoid the strafe-and-win syndrome.
