New Tilesets WIP

Hello! I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Today I bring a showcase of the new tilesets I’ve been working on over the past week.

It’s still very much a WIP, but you can already feel the new atmosphere they bring to the game.

My current focus is building the core tiles that will make up the rooms.

I’m creating modular pieces that combine well at different angles, along with some basic tiles and just a few decorations to break up the repetition.

Once the foundation is solid, I’ll move on to finishing the last missing features needed for the demo release.

There are still a few issues with the tiles shown here (and some variants missing), but I’m actively fixing them.

My goal is to have all of these tilesets completed by the middle of next week, along with everything I need to keep moving forward.

Thank you so much for your support, it really means a lot!

Aphrodisiac Water Hazard

The first level hazard mechanic for "Magical Girl Azalea" is now complete!

Meet the "Aphrodisiac Water"

"Do not mess around with the pink-colored water. Even though it looks cute, harmless, and smells wonderful… it will mess with your body." — Commentary by a Veteran Magical Girl

These shimmering pink pools are most likely the result of forest water sources tainted by plant-type demons living in the area.

Their roots slowly taint the water over time, turning it into this sweet-smelling, dangerous liquid.

While some enemies are immune, most humans and even many demons are highly susceptible to it.

Overall Moving through any water bodies (even shallow ones) slows down your movement speed, but the aphodisiac ones come with a extra effect on top of it:

Aphrodisiac water Effects:

•Rapidly corrodes any equipment that isn’t specially protected

•Applies strong arousal buildup + HP damage on contact

For the game's demo release we'll have the shallow version of it, which is:

•Wearing boots → Boots gradually take damage, but you are fully protected from arousal and HP loss

•No boots, but wearing tights → Tights slot equipment corrodes + you receive roughly half the arousal & HP damage

•No boots or tights → You suffer the full effect from the aphrodisiac

The Capra demons aren’t immune to this effect, so push them into the water and watch them squirm if you can

Whats next?

This, feature is almost complete and i just need a final run of testing and i'll proceed to the next features, which are:

•Gates and Gatekeepers

•Objects

•Player Current Target HUD

Thank you for following and supporting the project it means a lot, and i hope you have a nice week! 🙏

And see you soon!

Progress Report 07/06/2026: Spawn Animation Complete + Level Design Begins!

Hello!

I hope you had a great week ❤️

Since the last update, development has moved forward in a big way.

I’m very happy to announce that I’ve finally finished all the core animations needed for the demo release🎉!

Animation and art have been the biggest challenge and the main bottleneck of the entire project.

With this major challange is outta the way, I’ve started working on level design.

Before jumping straight into building the first game rooms, I’m taking time to create solid, reusable components that I can use across all maps.

Today I want to showcase the first four of these systems:

• Room Warper

• Platforms

• Summon Zone

• Camera Lock Zone

Ambush Zone (a combination of the spawn trap + camera lock)

Room Warper

A component to move between rooms quickly, very important to test out new rooms quickly

Together with this component now we have a option in the code to select the starting spawn room, which will be important to use together with the upcoming Save System

Platforms

A classic on platformers, allows you to stand on it and go down by pressing down + the jump buttom, you can see them in action in the other preview gifs

NPC Spawn Zone

A area that spawns enemy on set locations when you pass through it

We can tweak which npc will spawn, it's location, level, name, current clothes equipped and any other upcoming properties that i'll implement later

Camera Lock Zone

A area that locks the player camera on a fixed spot, it works by changing the current camera limits to match the current rectangle of the area selected, we can easily set up different sizes for the current area that is locked and the system will do its magic automatically

Ambush Zone

is a combination of the NPC Spawn Zone + Camera Lock Zone + A Physical Boundary Limiter

Here’s how it works:

•When the player enters the Ambush Zone:

•The camera locks to a fixed position

•Waves of enemies begin spawning

•Physical barriers appear at the same boundaries as the camera lock, preventing the player from escaping the fight

•The area only unlocks and returns full control to the player once all enemies have been defeated.

I’m currently wrapping up the final tests and checking edge cases to make sure everything feels reliable and polished.

I’m really excited about this new phase and having fun with it, the project is moving from pure asset creation into actual playable level content!

Whats next?

I did some small changes on the roadmap to add a few more features i didn't list before and new ones that i wanna use for the level design,

like the objects features for example which is a simple feature and won't increase the release date that much

•Aphrodisiac puddles

•Locked gates & gatekeeprs

•Player current target HUD

•Objects

Expect more updates very soon with screenshots and videos of the upcoming new systems in action.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Azalea Defeated Animation Finished!

Last week I started Azalea's defeated animation, and it turned out to be trickier than I expected, but its finally done

Getting the timing, weight, and impact just right took a lot of iteration, but I'm satisfied with how it came out for now.

her staff detaches from her grip on the final blow and spins through the air, and flies off right before she collapses.

It adds that extra layer of drama and visual flair I was looking for

If she gets defeated while in the air the animation will pause at a falling frame, and will only proceed when she's on ground again, so its an animation that works for both cases

Whats Next?

Next animation in line and the last one is Azalea's spawn animation

This one will be an alternative version of the falling animation but will receive the same treatment as the capra spawn animation, so it will be completed faster since the poses are already created

After that we'll start the last bottleneck of development which is creating the level design

I hope you liked the animation and the preview, and i'll see you soon
