We keep working on the Temple, which is coming alone nicely! Vilya has finished almost all rooms, except for a few which will house special challenges or (mini-) bosses that we need to design a bit more before creating their rooms.
Here’s the last few rooms she made before returning to portrait painting:
Some of these rooms will have animated obstacles and details added by Fred at a later stage, so stay tuned for that!
Teddy, in the meanwhile, has been working on prototyping some of the enemies that you’ll encounter in the temple. Here’s a screen of one such battle in action:
i’ve said it before and i gotta say it again:
this is one of the most beautiful games i have seen in a very, very long time.
and not only that, the gameplay and atmosphere is one of the best thought-out i have ever seen in an indie title.
i really, really hope your game will get the attention it deserves once the finished product is near release. take all the time you need! we see it is well spent. <3
I love the temple! The puzzle factor combined with pixel art is awesome!
I wonder how you do all the animation stuff when switching between the seasons. I mean those are static images and you dont just blend them over, do you?
Very nice work! Everything looks really nice! Contrary to what most believe, pixel art is more difficult than it looks.
Id like to point out that either someone is writing in third person, or there is a mysterious 4th person who is writing these post. We shall name him/her “The Narrator”.

@Sogomn: This blog post will give you a pretty good idea how it looks in-game when everything is added together: https://www.secretsofgrindea.com/index.php/blog/4116
(Basically a mix between static backgrounds being switched out, and certain things animating)
@Mushmon: Whether it’s true or not that we’re all ruled by a fourth figure hiding in the shadows, I could not possibly comment.
