Not a good style for battle-maps, but i think it gets all the rest of the vibes across!

Another way to help if money is tight is volunteering with your local PBS office during our fundraising events & calling your representatives!

Yes, but I'm proud of how this scene is coming along! It's basically 3 tile maps (4 layers each!) on top of each other, with a script that swaps them out based on which key you hit! Hoping to get a really nice & seamless shot for our trailer ^^ #IndieGameDev #Godot30 May 2025 21:03 +0000at://did:plc:ihp7wunyll2cyocg5vs6c5hu/app.bsky.feed.post/3lqg4zosfjc2j
