Upgrade system looks great! You really put a lot of work into it and it shows.

Thanks, that's probably the longest I've spent on a single system. I don't think there's any more I'll have to build for this game

Here's a preview of some adorable Walthros: Renewal promotional art by Bemmpo! I will be refreshing the game's page on Steam and Itchio with new banners and cover images using this lovely art when it's all complete.

I'm coming up on a part of Walthros where my daughter's designing the monsters. Her concept on the left, my work so far on the right. She picked all the colors and told me where to add details.

She gave me notes and said "make it taller and give it more arms on its head" so here we are.

Looks terrific! The whole Yoshi's Wooly World vibe you're giving off fits the charming world of Walthros. Great find with that artist.

I think a big draw to this game over other RPGs is the personalities and quirks of those over the cliche elements. Most of the side quests seemed to be about character building, so showing off these personalities in the promo art is really great. Bob is obviously down to party.

Thanks, it was actually very hard to find an artist who could commit, even when offered payment. I had two others lined up over the last six months who dropped out before producing anything, but I think it worked out, I love this faux-clay look.

I've added character ages to everyone's bios to add a little more flavor. Bob's age is both appropriate to his story and a reference to the number of years between the first Sky Flyers comic I drew and the beginning of production on W:R.

That upgrade system looks great and it promising to give the player some engaging choices, which is the best part.
Monsters designed by your daughter, that's awesome. (Glad you removed the nostrils.) But I wonder what kind of funhouse area that's going to be?

Thanks! One more smallish dungeon to finish and then we're going to the funhouse.

Working on the interior of the Mu ship now. The gimmick here is that you can rush to the boss immediately and have a very tough fight or explore and disable security systems to weaken it first.
