Introducing ROTUNDA, my new passion project. It's a sandy RPG with Mystery Dungeon inspired elements!

Showing off some menu interactions today. I particularly love the spinning icons...

I've been obsessing over this frame of Mina in particular because of several oddities: her chonky face, the torn ear being on the wrong side, and of course her extreme lack of snout.

Pain states when receiving damage and at critical health.

Meet all sorts of peculiar folk in the tower.

@YachtClubGames Seeing Mina's snout in game and then finding out she's near snoutless in the official art feels like being catfished

Mirrors means that Rotunda is lightyears ahead of AAA games.

@Artism_Vpn Gameoverse seems to be allergic to actually conveying video games in any meaningful way. What is presented comes across as disrespectful parody, like something your parents would come up with.

@DirtyBeastGames @128bot_ I've followed you for a while because I believe you "get" Classic Sonic way more than I've seen any other fan game (or official modern game) do. Classic Sonic was always evolving each game, not staying stagnant and living off nostalgia.

[Wayne @writemechanic]

@SilvanuzGamedev Yes! It's a one time consumable that 'burns up' upon use or after 3 turns. Here's a use case scenerio:

Added a quick new candle item that you can nimbly jump over!

@RobinPoedev I think you really have something special here and it's why I've followed you for some time. I eagerly await its arrival and for whatever Sheep Lass may hold.

[Wayne @writemechanic]

For the very few people who have shown interest in Rotunda: I'm still very much working on the game but it's difficult to know what to post/showcase. I'm divided between spoiling everything and keeping it all secret.

[Wayne @writemechanic]

@RobinPoedev I feel this way about my own project especially when I consider there are some fantastic things I want to add that I know will never be as strong as Deltarune. But it doesn't stop me from creating something that I think is cool, even if it ends up not as good.

[Wayne @writemechanic]

@rilemtwit Tangledeep music spotted!

[Wayne @writemechanic]

@DirtyBeastGames @RobinPoedev I understand the sentiment, but I also believe that not all games are for everyone. Using a reverse example: you wouldn't say, put a no-pause in your platformer to appease a hardcore audience.

[Wayne @writemechanic]

A look at the map outside of Rotunda. It's coarse, rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Trying to keep this updated when I can! This is the tavern area I added a while back. No RPG is complete without one.

[Wayne @writemechanic]

@DirtyBeastGames I appreciate the actual use of the environment and physics in order to attack the boss. It's something that's always missing from Sonic and Sonic-Likes.

[Wayne @writemechanic]

New tile-based lighting that replaces the soft lighting I originally had.

@Fabrazz Will you be monitoring the leaderboard for cheaters?
