guess whos back. back again. its me!!!!!

anyway is there any possible way i could play your funky little game on my phone or chromebook. i do not have a pc 😭😭😭😭 also i dont know if i made it clear enough that it is in fact me asking this so im just gonna throw in a mention of andrew hussie getting brutally pegged with a 20 metre bright pink horse strap with 15 levels of vibrations and a built in knotting feature

well, let's take a look and see what happens if i try and run it for html5!!!

well, everything LOOKS fine... up until i try and open one of the critical-to-progression text boxes :/ NO idea why it doesthatr.

Good news!

I have figured out how to turn anti-aliasing off for the font Pumpkinbloom uses!

A comparison for you!

Which do you prefer?

heya everyone! or at least, everyone interested in my video game project Pumpkinbloom. sorry i haven’t been showing much recently, i’ve been working on it but it’s been slow (Thanks, high school :’) ). at this point, the most annoying part is spriting and making the battle system. it’s the first part of this i’ve coded fully myself without tutorials, so it’s a huge ol pain in the ass. rest assured, i’m still working hard on it!

and for those of you that haven’t heard of pumpkinbloom and might be interested in a 2D RPG about two kids and their dead friend who need to escape the underworld, ping me an ask and i’ll tell you all about it.

who up batling their system

[pumpkinbloom-game]

pumpkinbloom for OSX is unfortunately UNSIGNED, meaning it WILL NOT RUN. you need to cyberbully your mac to let it run.

[pumpkinbloom-game]

it will not run even if you cyberbully your macs. apologise to your macs. i fucked up in exporting it somehow????

PLEASE.

[pumpkinbloom-game]

oh yeah that last post reminded me!!! i'm going to work on getting a macos version of PB uploaded! unfortunately my mac has just stopped being supported, so i'll have to borrow my parents ones. when i upload it, i'll just set the itch.io page to unlisted too. ease of access n all that :)

[pumpkinbloom-game]

ok i probably need to say this;

PUMPKINBLOOM will NOT be playable on web, unfortunately. something in my textbox code breaks the game when exporting it to HTML5. everything else works, but considering you need to interact with things and have them show a textbox for certain flags to be checked, the game would be softlocked. so sorry yall v'_`v

[pumpkinbloom-game]

2 things!!!

one; uploaded new WIP,

two, realised i never posted this new devlog on here!!

A downloadable game

[pumpkinbloom-game]

pumpkinbloom devlog 9 - 11 - 2024

yea haha!! so!!!  it's been like. 4 months since i last uploaded anything??? and you may be noticing there isn't much new stuff in this one, but it's because i'm working through things bit by bit!!!  but i've jumped ahead a bit. i'm still working on some maps n such, but i've got quite a bit of the design stuff for the demo done!! so yea!!! ive altered dialogue n stuff, working on some portraits, etc etc etc. iirc oli didnt have portrait sprites in the last upload so!!! she's got them now! the last cutscene is slitght borked, youre kinda stuck in that room, but you can hold esc to quit! if you don't have an esc key: gog help you.
