Game World

a few locations to say the least. I think there are 9 major cities, 10 small towns, and a lot of dungeons... I might cut some towns...

So I finally got to making a small video for pearlessential. Like the game, it was overscoped and I spent a bit too much time producing it, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

It also let me polish up my video producing skills which is nice.

took about a year and a half but now you can do not battle things and switch to battle things.

Sometimes when someone suggests a feature for my game my internal reaction is "dear god just leave me alone my game is fine and doesn't need to change", because to be honest I am actually an incredibly lazy developer masquerading as a productive one. 🤪

This was back when I was testing layouts rapidly. Probably the only time in my art career that I trusted the process.

I'm Ali. This is a blog for my video game, I usually do this on Twitter but you know, rich dude wants more money. Welcome! I usually just post stuff about the game. My game is a JRPG-inspired exploration game called pearlessential. It's made in Godot Engine.

Not sure what else to say right now, other than be patient lol.

Overworld Attack VFX

ended up scraping these and changing the system...

Tower

Doing the bricks on the bottom was heck. I guess this is a good time to tell you this specific one won't be in the game... not because it's bad or anything but because while porting to Godot 4 I switched to 3D. So now I have to model the bricks on the bottom... heck. At least you'll be able to jump from rooftops to rooftops... hopefully
