Hello all you wonderful people out there! Go another devlog for ya! Showing off the new hive area with a new currency type, a new minigame, and a bunch of other little thangs!

As mentioned in the devlog, I anticipate this next part is going to be pretty animation-heavy (more than usual) and figured it might be worth doing an animation stream if that's at all interesting to y'all. Let me know!While I'm very happy with what we have so far for this portion of the game, I'm really really excited to get to what's next 😈Here's the songs I made for this area:

Bellagarth's Quest Devlog #19: Funny Honey Money

We've got bees! If you can believe it...

I would love another devstream, it's fun to watch the progress and to interact with you through em. Plus it gives something to look forward to through the long waits in the dev updates.

Mr_Bubz

I love the hiveworld already, even if not very much was seen. Seeing the Queen for the first time is nice and the hiveworld itself looks so unique in the way you maneuver within it. That’s without including how Bellagarth’s Ambrosian form will be(e) so it will be fun to see how that factors in too. Of course the animations are always fun to see in my opinion, and the minigame even if just a placeholder looks interesting. So if you wanted to show that off in a livestream go for it.

Burger Kurger

Thanks! Glad ya like it! Minigame as it is is mostly done, the only placeholder at this point is the tutorial image (thats what the text is referring to lol) Bee form is gonna be a big undertaking so that'll be a huge part of the next update 🫡

Mr_Bubz

Ah, I see lol. In any case I’m excited to see your ideas for the bee form, I’m sure it’ll be great.

We need a solo Dusk playthrough so we can clear this area instantly.

softbugz

amazing! i will say that the highlighted text in dialogue seems to have low enough contrast that it would be hard to read for some... i'm obsessed with beesworld ok

Rando

right about now it's time to rock with the biggity bella bumble

Bug testing? in the bee area? I would hope so! Hurr hurr. (As always, thanks for sharing your progress.) Bumblegarth looks great, as do the NPCs.

Burger Kurger

Good to know! I can tweak those colors easy shmeezy

Burger Kurger

Bee hive ahead? Uh, I sure hope it does! Thank you kindly!

Sera

good news Bellagarth, we can be bees!

SwagtasticWabbit

I wonder if we’ll still get some tag team action with Bella and Dusk, like a spin jump… and maybe do a player swap, but I can dream.

Envy

Making it more and more difficult to play this with one hand... Smh

ShoreMcLoving

She'd fuck the major too that's crazy

Justin Mason

Nobody gonna do for me what the Mayor did, but the Queen trying hard, and I appreciate her for it.

BigPen

This area looks so charming, also love Beegarth

Simon Genmachine

I am interested if I guess, how delivery will work...

I feel like the moving platforms should contrast more with the railings they're connected to. They're very similar. Also a small thing about the writing here. I'm not sure how I feel about Dusk stopping Bellagarth from saying their intentions. Why doesn't she explain why she stopped Bellagarth? I guess it could go without saying, but it doesn't feel like Bellagarth acknowledges the interaction in a meaningful way. Is Bellagarth now on board with lying and keeping a low profile? Does she disagree? Is Dusk going to continue interrupting whenever she's going to say their objective? I might be overthinking this or forgetting something, but it feels minorly out of character for it to not be addressed at some point.

Burger Kurger

Thank ya kindly! It's been a fun area to build!

Burger Kurger

It will be seen soon!! I think folks will like it

Burger Kurger

I can change the railing color yeah, that makes sense! The reason for Dusk stopping Bellagarth is something the player might be able to pick up on if they pay close attention to the environment, but not essential. Similar to how Bellagarth trusted Dusk when she gave her explanation for the whole "shield stealing" thing, Bellagarth is quick to trust Dusk even she's not certain on the reasoning, and she is comfortable with telling white lies by necessity (like when she lied to the chelnok she knocked out or lied to sneak into the fortress) she's generally just not very good at it. I plan to give them little optional flavor text conversations later (similar to the conversations in the hotspring) that goes over it a little more for people who are curious about specifics.

ShoreMcLoving

Yeah I noticed the Blight banners and assumed that was the reason for the interruption. I see what you mean now with the trust angle, set up by the camp scene and the hot spring chat.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

just as someone else said, the colour text was a lil hard to read i think down to the contrast. I love seeing a game where you have a world with all different creatures with humans and the MC is just polite with all of them from the start, knowing Bellagarths backstory as well makes it extra cute. super enjoying the Dusk dynamic added to the mix now she's along for the ride (hopefully for a good bit!), she was great in Lilith's lair, glad she's shown up again

Fruity

Had to come back to comment on the design of the Beeple is so good, I love the inkblot style you done for em, the eyes and all the 1920s(?) vibe for em, its great
