SEASON ISLAND DEVELOPMENT UPDATE [November 5th 2023]


Happy Halloween to you all!! I’m not late, Halloween came in early…

Season Island has evolved a lot since last time, and since we’re in the middle of Fall, I figured it’d be the perfect opportunity to present to you the forest of Fall! The third level of Season Island! As usual, Puffinu designed the enemies for this level and one of those is without a doubt my favorite! I believe you too will enjoy what’s  new to Season Island!


PRETTY PIECES OF ARTWORK

Before we dive into the new game content, I wanted to share some art I made for the game! All of it can be found on the Season Island Twitter @terebikistudios!

IMPROVED TEXTBOXES

Oh boy, this part was difficult to code! The textboxes in Season Island allow for colored text, shaky text and VERY shaky text. It will allow the dialogue to be more expressive! The newly added dialogue sprites too make the dialogue more fun to read.As an added bonus, there will be floating text above your head indicating any action that’s happening in the overworld..!!

IMPROVED FONT (super important)

I have heard many complaints concerning the demo’s font being difficult to read…and you’re right! Worry not, I’ve revamped the font and it’s a lot easier to read now (while maintaining its style).

Observe as the word "Hunger" is amazingly easy to read!

MAGNIFYING GLASS

Spike is no detective but curiosity is never a problem in Season Island. Press the C key in battle and drag your magnifying glass to the enemy you’d like to analyze! For now it says nothing on stats, it’s just boring information.

Puffinu came up with this idea, I think it’s a really good idea!

SPRING

The treehouse has been decorated by Spring herself! I kept telling her “Hey, you should add small trees in the big tree, I think that’d be really funny!”.


SUMMER…

Phone booths, mirage chests and a whopping THREE BOSS FIGHTS await you there!

GMOLES

Behold! The gmoles are a nuisance. They were made from the trees to resemble their seasonal guardian and they were made to be annoying. Their only redeeming quality is being good at being bad. Brr, I sure wouldn’t want to transform into one…

Concepts by Puffinu:

(It appears the concept art was eaten by a pack of gmoles…)

My rendition of this heinous act:


(The gmoles were designed by Puffinu. Fall was designed by me. But this fellow isn’t in this development update so…try to guess what the character looks like!!)


WINTER

Hehe snowball go “boof!”

Boof!

Boof!


FALL TRAILER

There were so many new features to showcase that I couldn’t fill the trailer with gags like with the previous trailers… Fortunately, I have attached a humorous 4-panel comic under this link. It’s canon, too.

PROGRESS…

Spring: 99,9999%

Summer: 99,9999%

Fall: 99,9999%

Winter: 20%

The thing with the percentages above is that they’re often misleading. One morning I’d come up with a dumb idea and it would take me 3 days to add to the game… It’s not a bad thing, because when the game is released, you’ll never know what comes next!


Thank you guys for supporting my funky project! I work to make this THE BEST RPG YOU’LL PLAY!! But if it doesn’t turn out to be, that’s alright, because there are always some other great rpgs out there! I’ve been anticipating one in particular (bet’cha can’t guess it!).


-Sincerely, Terebiki
