That is so serene, I could look at that all day. :p

[Saturator]

Wow. That's amazing. Reminds me of Studio Ghibli stuff.

@Forstride dude that windmill. What did you use to get that pixel rotation effect. I see you used it on the butterflies too. Awesome looking game btw.

Well, I use Game Maker, so it's basically handled for you if you provide an angle value when drawing the sprite.

Also, the sprites are all at a 1:1 resolution, and then the game window is scaled up (It's at 2x in the GIF, but I normally have it at 4x, which is 1280x720), so everything retains its pixelated looked.

It looks really really good, and I love the palette! Very "cool".

The light berams are a great touch, especially those in the pond.  But then I noticed the sun position relative to them. I can't un-notice that now.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I didn't even think about that TBH, but I'll be sure to change the angles to match the sun's position now.

I had to make three friends for this GIF to work.

Or the sun position. Or anything you want, really. It was a very minor comment, it looks lovely as-is!

Oh, I see what you're referring to now.  I thought you were just talking about the angle of the god rays relative to the sun's position (Since they sun changes position horiztonally/vertically based on the time of day).

Yeah, I know it's kind of weird for there to be god rays when the sun is actually visible on the screen, but I love god rays too much to sacrifice them for "realism." 

[Schoq]

It looks way too bright for such a low sun as well, if you're gonna get picky with realistic lighting.

[SeanNoonan]

Messing about with that other thing again...

@SeanNoonan
Those particles

@ZackBell
Are you planning on leaving the squishy TF sprite scaling in the singleplayer mode?

As of now, that's the plan. Several people mentioned static player sprites and seemed pleased by the change(s). What are your thoughts?

[SeanNoonan]

Aaaaaand another one from me today (although it's technically tomorrow)...



Getting really close to "shipping" this bad boy :D

[muki]

Oh man, with the distance counter in the corner, I'm getting Nanaca crash flashbacks

Thanks :D

Adding modes!

[Belimoth]

This is good.

[framk]

Can you please explain how you do this? Is it just a certain angle hard-coded that makes it switch models, or is it something more devious?
