Update (29th August)

Hi again, back with another update!

First, I made a bunch of new decorations and tiles, such as flowers!

Some are unique to the forest, aka Terga Woods:

I also improved the games shadows a little, and implemented cloudy weather:

With improvement to shadows, also comes darkness! This will be very useful for places like dungeons and dark environments. Maybe even for night time, too.

Sol also has animated idle states now, instead of a single frame like before. The simplicity of the earlier idle animations worked fine, but I wanted to do more for the game's animations and I think this looks good!

And on the topic of animations, I have also fixed up part of the games intro, and created an unique animation for Sol during it.

Lastly, have some random screenshots I took of the weather system in action, inside a test level:

That's all I got for Solarblade this time!
