#graveyard days

[shadybugdev]

The demo for Lavender Hollow, my devtober game, is finally released!

Lavender Hollow is a quiet town in the mountains, where a population of monsters have taken refuge from human society. On the edge of the forest you can find the graveyard, where Daisy and her apprentice Ghastropod live and work.

A town as old as this has its fair share of ghosts, old and new. Your job, as a medium and graveyard caretaker, is to help them move on. Each ghost has their own story, traumas, and personal hauntings holding them back. This is about a game about showing compassion for the dead, as well as compassion for ourselves.

The game is free for Windows/Linux/Mac, and you can play it on itch.io!

Day 12 (forgot to post this one!): I spent most of the day doing this ghost sprite + effects! Still getting the hang of particles. I also did some shadow research, so I can hopefully fix my weird sprite-shadow problem with some tests soon!

100 days of Game Dev day 10, and Devtober day 2!

Played with shadows, and got things kind of working

Made an indoor test scene!

Figured out a door system, added a scene transition, and finagled some test variables so that the player character stayed facing whichever direction you came in

Started on a character dialogue option, although if you start it you get stuck in a loop of “Hi!” over and over, so... some work needed there.

A new character??
