And as a reminder, if you're Magician or above, you get 20% (and more) of a discoun...

Hey folks,

I know I said I would probably take today off and/or work on commissions.

Though, I felt super inspired for some reason and worked on the UI for Crysalis!

Tomorrow, Sunday the 3rd of December, I will work on it more, after that I have family stuff (that stresses me out...

Update on works and the future

Always scary to hear about the future of something, when there wasn't much activity, right?

TL;DR

I'm very stressed and might do some personal projects. I do keep working on Crysalis though.

Quick note

I am going to work on enemy designs in the coming week, after which I plan to release builds again, so patrons can test them.


What I was mostly working on, was designing the game loop itself, for the past few weeks.
I think I have a pretty good concept, so I move on to impleme...

Quick note about character insert

Simply put, I closed it completely.

After looking through things, I have all the characters I need for now (though, might open for NPCs or enemy concepts).

Also everyone who got a character insert, I might talk to again, to clear up some changes.

I will contact you, if there is...

Update on progress and general updates

So, didn't realize that it's over a month since my last update here.

TL;DR
I am working on things. Those thigs are progressing. I don't want to share things, before they're 100% certain they're what goes into the game.
Planned release for the alpha version is 2023 (most likely end of ...

Big news

As announced yesterday,

big news today! The news might be a little surprising, though it is what I think would be best for the entire project.

Meaning, that there will be two games, not just one!

You will get Dungeon TF and Crysalis.

The split came from working on the comb...

Quick heads up

I'm out most of the day for today, but tomorrow (21st of September), I am going to make a big announcement for this game.


Combat is progressing, but I still need to implement attacks and win summation screen, as well as re-implement the game over screen and make those for testing...

Small update

Just a small update on things.

I made some decisions, that aren't final yet, that helped me with creative energy and things are progressing better again.

Still, I am working on the combat, so no bigger updates yet, but it's progressing a lot better now.

Once I made the final dec...

Not dead

Also, I haven't abandoned this project, I am working on it.

Sorry for the long time silence, though expect more of it.

Right now, I am working on the combat system still and want to only give proper updates, once I am finished with it.
Also I'd like to revise the story a bit, add d...

Crysalis Looks

Maxine Red post Crysalis Looks from patreon

Hey folks,

the last poll hasn't finished too long ago, so have a new one!

Just kidding, but it's something that is important to me and also I like feedback on.

This one is about the looks of the game.

Pretty much, it's just "How should the game look?"
For that, I have s...

Feedback on modding (poll)

Hey folks,

First a bit of background information though.

Modding in Crysalis

Hey folks,

today I found something nice, while checking a different feature.

This will allow modding! Though not endless modding (unless someone hacks the binary).

First off, actual modding, with code, is quite hard to achieve in GameMaker Studio 2 (the engine I use) and not som...

Crysalis Progress Report (2023-07-27)

Hey folks,

not much to report today, I'd say. Had some work days taken out due to other stuff and doing mostly art stuff right now, which is usually slower.

What am I working on?

Sprites for all forest critters, as well as their attacks, so I can implement them.
Once these ar...

Crysalis Progress Report (2023-07-06)

Hey folks,

for those who use the itch app and have the nightly installed (or follow the nightly channel), you know there is some stuff happening.

But for everyone else, I guess the question is "What the heck is that cow doing?"

Pretty much, I'm rewriting systems. The movement sy...

Finally a new prototype!
This one is for combat and game over scenes.

Don't get attached to the UI as it probably changes more over time!
