End of the first day
Feeling pretty good about the progress so far. My idea this time is a bit more ambitious than previous ones so we'll see if I can actually implement everything in time.
I really wanted to have a nice cloudy background for the sky islands setting and ended up using a huge chunk of pico-8's limited sprite sheet

I'm leaving it this way for now but I'm most likely gonna have to look into multicarts or a compression library to fit in enough art for the terrain.
I'm pretty happy with the overall aesthetic though.

I also had to implement a dialogue system for the first time. I probably made it way more modular than it needs to be but now I have a good system I can re-use in the future.
