Much has changed since the first iteration of Iron Bloom, but the most noticeable is the art. Art and design are very much not my strong suit, I gave it a go so that I had more than block colours to look at while testing, but it was poor to say the least.

Unlike me Iain has some actual skill when it comes to pixel-art and created a proper sprite sheet and made it look awesome. This was exactly the kind of look-and-feel I envisaged when first planning the project.

It surprised me how motivating it was to have some proper sprites, it really started to feel like a proper game!

Oh, and there are now chests too!
