1.5 Devlog: Unlockable poetry and flowers!


I've added some final updates to Iridescent Crown! There's now a "Story" room available from the overworld, where you can read poetry you unlock as you play. These lyrics give some clues to what the game is really about, but the interpretation is ultimately left up to the player.

There's also flowers in the dungeons now! (Or mushrooms if you're in the later levels.) I think these give the randomly generated worlds a lot more life, color and variety. Even though they only serve a cosmetic function in this game, I think in future games they may be a lot more interactive.

I added a few minor changes to the ending too - nothing I'll spoil here. I also updated the logo to a very simple one that fits IC's style. And with that, Iridescent Crown finally feels 100% complete to me. 

Of course, all of this is just preparation for the next game in the series (tentatively titled "Aeon Datablade"). The new game will have a specific focus on fluidity of movement, in contrast to the slower pace of IC's dungeon crawling aesthetic.

The new game should be out in 2021, so follow me for updates! Thanks for reading!
