Spent nearly all of today having fun with sprites. I don't have the game loop fully formulated let alone implemented. Super happy with my progress regardless. I've never spent meaningful effort creating sprites, let alone sprite sheets, before and am really proud of what I came up. Aseprite is such a cool program.

The game hook so far is that you play as a student who delves in to the depths of treacherous caves and ruins, searching for your professor and discovering valuable and not-so-valuable artifacts. Aiming to have a cozy and playful tone, with mystery and collection at the focus kind of like Stardew Valley
