Certain items will now disappear if you don't collect them in time.

I can't believe that the LPNH keeps getting away with this.

Finally added a victory fanfare after completing a floor. I just used the fanfare I used in my previous games (which was a CC0, 8-bit fanfare from OpenGameArt), put it in NeuralNote and changed the instruments.

And here is the result, recomposed as a full orchestra. This is based off of a victory screech my siblings and I would make when we accomplished something or received something good.

So it looks like half of you would rather spend your entire lives as someone else's property than to spend 13 years in school.

It looks like we are off to a good start!

Red shield sprites now have proper death animation.

Red shield sprites now have proper attack frames.

Fixed the animation with the red shield sprites too, but the attack animation still shows the green shield.

Player no longer swings his shield while walking.

I've also re-positioned the sword to better fit the new sprite. It's still not perfect though and I plan to redo the walking animation, so that the character is holding the shield in place instead of swinging it.

Doors now have unique colors depending on the level.

This is just bullshit. I don't care that much about the whole Ghibli AI filters, but they are really stretching the current copyright system with this. The only thing that Gib Studio could be violating is trademark law by calling it Gib, but everything else is wrong.

1. You cannot copyright or patent an art-style.
2. The AI is only using Studio Ghibli's work as a reference while also using a real life photo to create a drawing. It's like if I took a photo and drew a cartoon version of it in Butch Hartman's style and used Fairly Odd Parents screenshots as references.
3. People are mostly using the tool to share images on social media. They aren't doing anything for commercial purposes. It's no different than people who draw pictures of themselves in the Powerpuff Girls art-style for example.
4. People aren't stupid enough to believe that Studio Ghibli would endorse something because something is drawn in it's artstyle. People have been drawing offensive memes using various works and they almost never harm the reputation of the original creators...unless you are Ben Garrison.

I may agree with the message, but making children's books about this is just as cringe as LGBT books for children.

This is why the entire political compass hates me. I support the one thing that they all despise.

Keep your dog on a leash and off my property and we won't have this problem.

Bosses now drop life capsules upon death (assuming your max HP isn't maxed out). During my test playthroughs, I noticed that I reach the end of the game with my max HP still in the single digits for whatever reason. I also want to make it possible to reach a max HP of 20.

Maybe this should also be a sign to stop pushing bug eating.
