🛠️ Devlog #1 (June 12, 2025) – The Water Rises, and So Do We


🚀 What’s New

We’re sprinting toward our first major milestone: the Proof of Concept launch on Itch.io, July 1st. Here's what's happening behind the scenes:

  • 🎨 Our 2D artist is working on the player character animations, breathing life into the rogue, warrior, archer, and wizard frame by frame.

  • ⚙️ The water drainage pump machine for Level 3’s sunken dungeon is in production. Players will need to activate and assemble this puzzle piece by piece.

  • 🎵 We’ve started laying down the main theme for the game — something moody, mysterious, and haunting to match our dark pixel world.

🐛 Dev Woes & Wins

No massive bugs this week… though we did briefly turn the archer into a gelatinous mess when testing jump animations. Classic.

🔮 What’s Next

  • Finalizing the Zone 1 background art and lighting effects

  • Building the pipe puzzle logic for the water pump in level 3

  • Dropping in placeholder sound FX while music production continues
