In my game, quests are represented as "Mental Notes."
You can see these notes on the map screen. ๐บ๏ธ๐
You can also see them on the items screen, on top of items that are part of a quest. ๐ป๐
Quests with no item yet will show an item wireframe. ๐๐
Did more testing with controllers the last 2 days (including Bluetooth stuff). Made some minor fixes and optimizations too, fixed some bugs. I now feel confident enough to update the Steam page with this:
๐ฎ Full Controller Support! ๐ฎ
I've overhauled the System Menu for #MayGame. The options are now laid out in a grid and have character animations when active. The Map and Items menus are accessible as tabs, too.
Animations need fine-tuning but otherwise pretty happy with this.
Happy New Year everyone! ๐
The first Developer Diary for "May and the Amazing Bouquet" is live on Steam! I talk about development in 2025, what's coming in 2026, and the game's current wishlist numbers!

I've seen some indie games with a built-in achievement-tracking screen and decided to make one too.
Not every gaming platform has an achievements system, so this would make sure everyone could experience it.
Aaaaaallllllright holiday shenanigans are over. *stretches*
Time to get back to work on the game('s menus).
(I think this is the full diagram of what's needed and how they're connected. Just need to finish implementing.)
Input customization options are now fully functional in my indie game! Let me show you!
The save file screen for #MayGame is now fully functional.
Composed a small song for it and also several sfx using Furnace.
May's sprite will change depending where you are in the game.
The pause/options menus have gotten a visual overhaul! Added icons and reused the style of the map screen.
Still not 100% satisfied but this feels much better than the plain black and white windows.

The blue cricket shown in earlier clips will accompany May for a while! If you look closely at the start, you can see him perched on May's head. ^^
He is TIIIIINY. May can send him into cricket-sized tunnel mazes to help unlock new areas.
