I think I'm gonna pull back on scope for #KoboldKwest, at least for now. I want to get the game in a playable state, and then I'll worry about extra features.
So for now that means extra stat systems are getting canned. I'll keep weapon/skill/health upgrades, since those are easy enough to implement. Upgrades requiring extra math and logic are getting dumped for now.

Designing the first boss in #KoboldKwest. The idea is that this tunnel worm will have different segments that have different effects. Armored, spiked, and acidic. The boss will rampage across the arena

Something I'm doing for story reasons. Since sprites this small don't convey emotion very well, I'm gonna use little emote popups to help convey emotions!

Here's a quick #KoboldKwest update! I got the dash ability working!
Also here's the game running on the #playdate! Looking good!

Here's the UI so far for #KoboldKwest!
Out of a desire to maximize center screen space, UI elements are limited to the corners of the screen and use large bars so they're easy to see at a glance.
Top left is HP, top right is Gold, bottom left is currwnt skill (WIP) and bottom right is current weapon/attacks.

I'm having so much fun making #KoboldKwest for the #Playdate that I almost want to try and build it in Unity, just to make it playable on other platforns.
That might be a challenge to tackle once the Playdate version is finished.

Some features I've added to #KoboldKwest!
- Weapons are now handled by event handlers rather than the player. If weapons swap, it will reduce the number of running operations
- Weapons now have cooldowns and an associated bar. No clue if I'm gonna make this a strict cooldown or charges.

Hey all! I'm trying something different tonight! I'll be streaming myself working on Kobold Kwest, a small game project I've been working on for a bit!
