Final Mock Playtest

 Today we had our final internal playtest! From it we got some ideas for new coins and the realization that we need to make it more clear that the player needs to pick a coin first, and/or prevent the player from a card first, or else they'll be playing the entire game with only the basic coin. I've also set up an itch.io page for our game, which can be found here ! The game is already available for download, so go try it out now!! Be sure to leave your thoughts and report any bugs you notice in the comments so Guilded Tower can continue to improve! We also have a Discord channel, but it's not quite ready for the public yet. I will be making an announcement here with an invite link when it's open! As always, thanks for following the development of Guilded Tower/Gambler's Gambit/Gambit, I've been your joyous blog host Nao, keep galloping on!

Staycation Day #2

 Today I wrote a blurb for our itch.io page!! Flip to win and climb your way to regaining lost riches in Gilded Tower! Inspired by Slay the Spire and Die in the Dungeon, this game aims to spin the card-battler roguelike genre on its head, as your cards become passive buffs and coins nabbed off the floor your weapon! Battle against the odds as a scorned gambler in RNG-based combat and push your luck by gathering an arsenal of increasingly powerful coins, allowing you to be more strategic, experimenting with a variety of play styles as you approach the top of the tower. Along the way, you will face off against the Goblos, small reptilian creatures who are very adamant about keeping you away from their ultimate treasure – capitalism. More coins coming soon! I also made.... more doodle art of my characters!!!!! featuring Don Quixote from Limbus Company and the goat wizard from Deltarune Keep galloping on!! Happy Mother's Day :) - Nao

Staycation Day #1

 Didn't do much today, since all of my tasks are done. Though, I will still write a(n extremely short) blog post like the good student I am. I helped finalize the sound effects used in Gilded Tower, looking for missing ones we still needed and giving suggestions or reviewing changes CH made to the audio files. And then I goofed around and filled out surveys for the betterment of the Prodigy program and to help ensure it's existence for the long-term. Yippee!! I have no more dev photos to share so have this quick drawing, featuring two of my 50 gazillion original characters, that I drew during the break :) Ruka and Desi - Nao

Super Simple Sound Design Document

 Not much to say for this one. I typed up a list of SFX we'll need in Google Docs and started going through the sound packs I scrounged up last class to find fitting sounds, noting down the file paths to the specific sounds I picked out: The hard part was not dying of laughter at some of the sounds I've come across 😂 Until Nao-xt time!
