More progress! 😀
Got the background done, “ghosts” that show where you’re about to move, and a placeholder son / daughter / mother sprite.
Finally, after dev’ing more or less non-stop since 11am yesterday, my game is done! 😀
Now it’s just publicity… ahhh, here is where my work doesn’t pay off as my submission gets lost under the 100s of other entries.
Oh well, it was fun!
