Newleaf
Newleaf is a short creature collector RPG inspired by the Shin Megami Tensei and Mother franchises with 18 playable monsters. It features various turn-based battle elements that I hope to expand on both here and in other projects. Originally developed in 4 weeks for the RPG Mania IX game jam.

If possible, you should consider making the full game. I know a growing community of players that will likely be interested. I plan on making a video talking about your game. I enjoyed it. Here is my YouTube Channel, I cover this genre specifically The OFC Media YouTube Channel
This is a really solid demo! I love the monster sprites (I think Greatfrog is my favorite...it has a powerful aura), and the battle UI is very clean.
I didn't understand Blight at first, but I went through the demo a second time with a party full of Mr. Sams and obliterated the roaches with Cold Touch/Sing Song. That's a really awesome mechanic.
The only gripe I have is the controls - having the ability to use something like arrow keys/Z/X instead of WASD/J/K would be nice.
I'd be more than happy to play this game again if you work on it in the future.
Thanks for the feedback! I am glad that you were curious enough to play through a second time, that's a high honor for a demo.
I totally agree on having multiple input options. Lots of stuff like that was cut due to the jam deadline and I tend to use WASD keys for everything myself. In a more complete version of this project I would expect to support full button remapping.
Thanks again!
Are you interested in working together on an RPG like this sometime? It'd be fun to do a collab project - I'm pretty solid with programming and I make my own music. I came back to this and saw you're also using Godot too.
Hey! Sorry for the delay. There's not a great way to talk on Itch but you can hit me up on Discord though (@turboshook). I don't typically have a ton of consistent free time for game projects but I am down to chat about it.
