Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Thank you sjd! This looks fantastic and the cat is so adorable! Merry Christmas!

I'm in.

This is an interesting question I didn't give a proper thought, tbh. I'd make it 'flick across' with the map section player currently explores occupying most of the screen, similar to this mockup.

As for the "lighting", each hexagon would have 3 states: 'visible' (occupied by the player and the neighbors), 'visited', 'unexplored'. Not sure if I'd make 'visible' hexagons have more than 1 dim value depending on the distance from the player.

animation is back. I suspected it to be not optimized enough to be shown on the front page, but I'm over it. It's better animated than not :)

this is very bizarre and spooky!

Thank you all! I'll try my best to be more active.

@Trigonomicon - I did a couple of title screens (this one included), but we decided to go with another one. Maybe we'll use this one later, but (as always) no promises.

Thanks!

@Reo - hmm, that must be a habit of mine to use that direction in work, but you're right. Now when I put it together with the 2nd frame, it looks much better mirrored. Thank you! Will take your advice

Thank you! Added the clarification 

Thanks!

@Gecimen - my friend has 2 children, but we manage to make one 6-hour session per week when they're visiting grandparents:)

@Irenaart, thank you 

Thank you very much!

There is no water here. Only despair and inevitability

Thank you guys!

@onilink_ - I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. Initially it was a different scene with accent on fire. Then it somehow evolved to this and I didn't touch the palette. I like your edit, though - the colors look more vivid. At the same time I like how it is now. Maybe there is a tiny bit of mist there (or as they say "thick air") so the whole scene lacks contrast :)

welcome!

yea, I agree. I spent some time to get the likeness as close as I could, but failed:( I still have some time, so I'll try to fix it 

Congrats guys and thank you!

Finally I got all the top10 trophies!

That vase on the table looks like a person O:

It's Pixel Jaloint for today 

"Effortless mastery" sounds like a great approach:) Can't wait to see more!  The shapes and colors here are fantastic as usual.

Thank you, guys:)

@Friend - both

Thanks guys:)

@Fusionnist - that was unintentional :)

Thanks! ~ 2 hours.
