Introducing… Elythium! A mix of: “Elysium”, the ancient Greek mythological paradise/state of ideal happiness; and Lithium, the highly reactive and flammable element. On your adventures, you need to collect enough of this stuff to fuel the return flight home.

I’ve finally entered the phase of working towards an actual game loop - I finally feel like my combat and adventuring states are fleshed out enough to support it.

As part of this, I also spent a lot of time streamlining my sprite configurations - before I was mostly manually coding the frames and their timings - now I can just throw together some YAML next to the PNG and reference an animation name! These crystals subtly shift between different hues and sparkle!
