All things Elfie related! 🐘 Elfie is a busy tiny plump elephant. She's very busy, with all her hobbies. She loves peanut butter. Wishlist On Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3784760/Elfie_A_Sand_Plan/ Created by: solsatelier.bsky.social #indiegame
Made a small QoL change to highlight the currently "focused" sand block. It's useful to know which part of your sandcastle you're about to grab especially once double blocks are introduced.
The color change is maybe a bit too subtle? Might tweak some more.

Sketch of Elfie in one of those 2 piece hotse costumes. But shw's alone.
Happy Lunar New Year!!
Here's an old sketch of Elfie trying her best to wear a horse costume! 🐎🐘
Pretty much done with the customizable visuals for Elfie's indications! 🙌🐘
I'd like to add this to the demo (store.steampowered.com/app/3784760/... or pressedelephant.itch.io/elfie-a-sand... 👀🤭) but that will have to wait till after release. 😔

Screenshot of the dialogue and responses being over the filters.
Finished some scene restructuring to allow the options, dialogues and responses to appear above the post-process filters.
This way, it'll be possible to make (most) texts more readable without having to turn of the filters.
(The decoupling caused quite a few bugs, but things look okay now! 🙏)
Added some animations when spawning sand blocks! ✨🐘
I still want to tweak a few things but I'm glad the idea I had for it worked out!

Unlike the nearly-half a million to one million it cost to have your trailer shown at The Game Awards, helping Elfie hijack the hashtags for the event on Instagram is completely free! Hehehe 💰🐘💨

Elfie stickers!! On where she's upside down in a sand castle her head peeking out of the front. One where she's chillin in a watermelon themed donut floaty. One where's she walking happily carrying a red sand shovel that's as tall as her.

It was such a great experience and a great way to end my time living in Japan.
I hope everyone is having a great Tokyo Game Show this year! Hopefully I'll have more time to attend some of these events in 2026. 👀🐘
