Devlog No.032
🕑 Added 2024-12-12 03:36:10 +0000 UTCA very straightforward devlog this time. I've added in a couple new shrine areas that are in older locations. I figured I'd have at least one shrine area per main zone. (Though I think I may not add a shrine to the first forest area) So when the next update comes, you can go back to these shrines if you'd like. I did hide these shrines a little more than usual though. To counter this, I'll add an NPC who mentions the shrine locations and where to look. In this case the npc will be fairly direct about the location and how to get to them, but for later shrines the NPCs might be a bit cryptic about other locations.
Both of these shrines require the use of ledge grab to get into them so if you are playing from a new save you'll have to wait until you have beaten the first boss to get into them. The field shrine has a mixed challenge, but should be pretty easy to overcome. You'll be able to get a new power up that buff the Grahstery weapon so that whenever you do not have any grahsts to launch, it will instead fire a weakening star attack. Probably not the most useful thing, but might come in handy against enemies that let you wail on them.
The Ninestep mountain shrine on the other hand is definitely quite a bit longer and harder. To counteract this, the shrine has an upgrade and also a boob powerup statue in it. Though the challenges in this shrine are separate so you'll have to conquer them both if you want both rewards. The upgrade item is retaliatory bubbles.
Both of these shrines have some new things in them to deal with, but also has a powered up version of the wingmilk. This one has a very lengthy duration which will let you fly for an extended period of time, but you're still vulnerable to taking damage and deflating of course. It's not infinite, but the timer on it is significant enough that so long as you don't decide to AFK you shouldn't run out of time. (But you'll be forced to deflate at one part. Sorry you can't keep it)
Aside from these two new shrines, I've started on the next area, but there isn't too much to report on it just yet. Just that I've gotten started working on it. I plan to implement an upgrade item that will be a little more noteable, though not necessarily super special in any way. Just unique in how you obtain it really. As part of that upgrade, I'm planning on making it so that every few goddess symbols you pick up, it'll restore a charge of fall forgiveness. So a way to get back charges after they're expended, but without having to visit a checkpoint. (Though I'm not sure how useful it will be.)
I also plan on adding in the first upgrade item to preserve your power level when perishing. Though this will just be preserving a handful of boob levels and your actual weapon power level will go down to 1 again.
Anyway, that's really it for now. The only other thing to report is that I've gotten the two new NPCs started. The vampire elf base is done and I'll upload her intro shortly after this. The thaery has her normal sprite done, but I need to do her portrait. If I wasn't exhausted I'd push through and finish her portrait right now, but I'm very tired. She'll likely have her basics uploaded tomorrow sometime. After that, both ladies will get pumped up!
Going back and forth between working on art and programming really helps a lot I have to say.
But yeah, that's it for now!
