How about some repair mechanics? There are still a few small missing parts, but overall, it's working! 🔨 (Is this a blacksmith’s hammer?)

Long video warning! Quest to deactivate a portal spawning fire elementals deep in a mine. Featuring: "footstep town", working mine, miners and their ... pets, and bad evil mine level with a portal barfing increasingly stronger fire elementals. You got it all folks!

Overworld cavern sprite mini-update - a little bit of animation! Monsters blink too, you know (well, most of the time)

A bit of animation didn't hurt anybody! Sparkly mines? Check! Elevator into the murky underwater mine depths? Check!

Since the trailer on Steam is pretty old, I thought I'd refresh it a bit, without too much effort. So, I took some footage from various videos I've been posting in the last year or so, and added them in the beginning of the trailer. Enjoy!

Do you like magic? Discovering secrets? Potion brewing? Romance? A story with many possible endings? Then you might like Daughter of Crone, the game we are currently making. We aim to release the game by the end of 2025! ❤️

@JinxedBird This looks amazing, especially the tower!

The beach is a lovely place to take a walk, but you must watch out for the Saltsnappers. If you wander too close, they can get... Snappy.

Screenshot of the beach area from the game Daughter of Crone, featuring the main character and a crab-like creature known as the Saltsnapper.
