Bellagarth's Quest [Micro update October '25]
Added 2025-10-19 21:51:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone! This month's been pretty busy for me with moving n' stuff, my entire setup is sitting in a cardboard box which means I'm relegated to a tablet (which is fine but I work quite a bit slower this way)
Thought I'd throw a quick bite-sized update at ya to show what I've managed to get done in the meantime! World map is finally getting proper sprites set up!
I think this really helps give a better sense of "place" between each level, making it feel a little less like just a menu (which it is but, ya know)
Unfortunately this change does mean we have to say goodbye to 90's playmat...
I miss you already my sweet, sweet crunchy jpeg...
The original plan was to have the world map be like a beige map thingy similar to what you see in the opening (hence why Bellagarth was originally represented by that little red piece) which would have definitely been easier and faster to make, but after some deliberation I felt it would just be way better for the game's overall "vibe" for the map to be more colorful and have depth and stuff (which will be especially useful for underground/indoor spots like the Froblin Town)
Hopefully this call wasn't a mistake cuz this shit takes time!!!
Before I go here's some random concept art I drudged up:
More to come soon! 😎

2025-10-20 02:13:12 +0000 UTCThe Froblins are very Hanna-Barbera coded which I'm sure is at least somewhat intentional. But I love them all the more for it.
