Screenshot of Looking Inward showing the Techniques menu for Skip, listing Fro, Frowa, Afu, Afuwa, and Haas. Frowa is selected and the description box reads "One Enemy; 6 Power; Frowa: Shards of ice solidify on an enemy, dealing moderate Ice damage."

This is a small detail but I like it so I'm gonna share it anyways
Skip's damage spells follow a similar naming scheme to something like SMT or FF for higher tiers (Not pictured is Frozawa and Afuzawa).

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I'm Beaker or Violet, and I make games in #gamemaker!
I've put out several games of differing genres over the years as a mostly solo dev, and currently working on the RPG #LookingInward and doing some programming work for another secret RPG. :3c

It's officially been 4 years since I started development on #LookingInward!!!!
I've made so many friends and worked with so many cool people up to this point ^^
Given that we're currently about halfway through Chapter 3, it's come a long way!

I'm always finding more ideas that require me to expand the battle system in some way. But hey, it keeps things interesting at least.

After being way too emotional about football earlier today I’m now seeing other football fans being way too emotional about football.

Drawing of Samson, a muscular brown wolf butler, joining hands tough guy style with Bleddyn, a muscular blue gwyggli werewolf in a tattered shirt, over a pixelated impact background centered on where their hands meet, with (left to right) the Looking Inward protagonist, Carys, Idwal, and Skip standing in the back.

Played Toward Dawn last week and I felt like Samson and Bleddyn would get along pretty well, being strong wolf men who are their party's tank and physical damage dealer.

Screenshot of the inside of a large building at the top of a stairway with a ramp with two masked and helmeted strong-looking figures in white and blue blocking the bath for several abstract creatures resembling clouds of different shapes. The protagonist is behind all of them looking up, followed by Samson looking over the railing and Skip not far behind.
