Hey y'all! I just released a new written AND video devlog of me rambling about my RPG game, Hollows Academy (formerly Magical Girl Saga) on my website! You can find the written log and video log here!

Another very minor update to my game, we now have a light that illuminates around the player at night (and eventually caves and other dark areas too!). It has a bit of a flicker to it as well to make it seem more like a lantern light.

TW: Short White Flashing Screen

Minor thing for today, added in a better transition animation for transitioning from the overworld into battle.

Wasn't too hard with a godot shader, though I had little experience with godot's shaders beforehand, but I got it all figured out!

I want to make a video going more in depth about it too sometime this week, but yeah! I migrated from Godot 4.0 to 4.5 and decided to rewrite the dialogue system to better match other games in the RPG genre. Now to just rework the inventory system...

What's new in the world of Magical Girl Saga? Well... a whole new dialogue system! I rewrote the ENTIRE dialogue system I had and created something that would allow for branching dialogue and the new system works flawlessly after 3 days of work!
