More of a stress test this time -- sometimes I need to talk myself out of trying to optimize too early. This clip is practically the antithesis of video compression, so apologies for that! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Not all homunculi are hostile little rage-orbs that want to cut you. Some are friendly lab helpers you create! They're split in Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury type. Mercury types are clever, and can manipulate items in the lab! #indiedevhour #wipwednesday #gamedev #indiedev

The Crucible UI still needs graphics/animations to make it feel like a melt-and-cast process, but I'm excited to have the first lab 'machine' with a route back to rings. Soon, simple rods of Carmot-based material will be our first weapons! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

I may be overestimating how spicy this is because it required cleaning up a LOT of code, but the game is now okay with you placing/attacking/looting more than one of these things (even different types) at a time and it has me pretty hyped #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #pixelart

A little Carmot can sustain an Everburning Fire, which consumes items (and their stats) to grow in power. These new red chunks represent raw item potential: use them as fuel, or as the basis for crafting powerful gear! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #gamemaker

With combat improving and readiness for sudden bursts of income handled, it's back to the (actual, in-game) lab for some 'incremental' goodies (like a route to passive income) and to really flesh out the loot > breakdown > craft-up loop! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Getting some more work done on enemy deaths ...Too soon? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker
