This is my first devlog for a game I've had on the back-burner for a while. Essentially, it's an RPG with a focus on puzzles and exploration. It's currently grid based, but I've been experimenting with a few other systems. Your items degrade as you use them, however, when an enemy dies, it drops the weapon/armour that it was using, so you'll never be without something.

Story
Currently, there's no story, apart from, "DO STUFF SAVE WORLD!", but I assure you it will be a lot deeper than that!

Art
I know the art style has saturated deep into the indie community, but I'm terrible at art, and I thinks it's quirky. I may end up using 3d models eventually, but no guarantees.

Current Version
You can play the demo here:

Controls: (They're a bit convoluted, but I'm working on improving them.)
Arrow Keys - Move/Menu Selection
Z - Pick up/Use/Equip/Continue Text
X - Attack/Drop/Unequip
Enter - Open Menu/Close Menu

The art style works well, you don't have to be apologetic. Hopefully I'll get a chance to play this at some stage.

I love the art, looks great!

I played your demo, and I like the art style (it will look even better with animations). The menus are great, and your transition to the underground looks awesome. The one thing I didn't like is the way objects in the world rock back and forth as you move about. If you need help fixing that I would be glad to help. Other wise it looks nice, and you should keep up the good work.

Thanks for the replies guys!
As for the sprites facing the camera, I wasn't too fond of it either, and in the most recent version, they're all fixed at the same angle.

Please disregard the abhorrent collisions between the character and edges of land.

Cool stuff, bro. Just one complaint:if you embrace the concept of grid, make it clearer, like drawing the grid or choosing some better angles.

I like the graphical style you've got going, it looks good. Nice work so far.
