First Ludum Dare, Whoohoo! I used the theme "Growing" as in "Growing more powerful", but I feel like I made my scope too broad and should have narrowed down a bit and focused on an easier genre. Even a small, fast-paced RPG is difficult and time-consuming to make without any code-base.

For those of you wondering, here are the programs I used;

Engine/Language: GM:Studio/GML,

Art: ASEPRITE, Cosmigo Pro Motion, in-engine editor,

Sound: Bfxr
