Hey folks,
I thought I give a super quick update to what's happening, because I am really happy with this.
So, as you know, I am working on the combat system for months now and I think I finally found what I want to use!
So the idea is, that encounters will be shmup (shoot 'em up) mini games!
Story wise, you will encounter vengeful spirits, which you have to calm/beat into submission. These spirits lash out at anyone living, in an attempt of possessing them and returning to a meaningful life.
Most of the time, you will find these in the wild, but you will also find possessed critters, which will function as mini-bosses or bosses.
I do really love this idea and how it works out, so I am going to make some more art and implement some encounters. Then you get a version to try it out.
