I started today by making some much needed UI. Hearts to show your remaining life, and spirit life. The red heart is your current life, and the silver outline is your spirit health. Earlier I was thinking these two sets of hearts would be near eachother, but not on top of eachother. Once it occured to me that I could do the spirit health as an outline, I decided to make you resurrect with life equal to your spirit health, so it feels even more important to protect yourself while you're dead. Spirit life regenerates over time while you're alive, so sometimes after regenerating spirit life you might want to die to resurrect with full health.

I spent most of today making a tutorial. There are a lot of little things to explain, like clicking to attack vs hold & release to charge an attack, raising dead, dying to pick up mana, ect. It starts with words on the ground telling you to move, and words to the right that you can't see until after you've moved. I try to follow that pattern of making you do a thing before giving you the next piece of info, and teach players that getting killed can be a good thing before giving them any threats.



I also added blessed versions of enemies, that can damage you while in spirit mode. Here's the game so far with no sound!

Tomorrow I can only work a few hours, so my main priority has to be sound. I also need a title. Beyond that, maybe I'll make a couple more skeleton types, that you get from raising different enemies. I thought about having some tougher skeletons from tougher enemies, because it sucks when you kill some paladins and only get a few wimpy skeletons out of it. Also, it was the first thing TheChubu and Alpha_ProgDes suggested when trying the demo, so I should probably get to that if I have the time. I also have ideas for a boss that kind of mirrors your own character, but I probably don't have time for it.
