An area of #gamedev that I never thought about, but find surprisingly fun is sound design, such as this little effect that plays when you level up.
I guess coming from SaaS UX design is refreshing to put more life into things using sound.
I've been busy all week reworking the skill milestones into skill trees. This design will give the player more meaningful choices while leveling up their character.
Here's the first 4 skills complete!

📣 Open Alpha v0.12.0 "Of Traits & Tales" released
In this update I’m adding a new system to the game, called Traits. All characters spawn with randomized traits that gives them bonuses or penalties, making each character more unique. In total, 12 traits were added.
I’ve also polished the player experience around the actual game, like creating a new Crate World screen, character selection and death screen.
