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.

It is!
I do find animation difficult. (But that may just be because animation is difficult haha.) So if I was testing out alternatives, I think animation workflow would be one of the main aspects I'd look at.

I'm using aseprite, but haven't really tried anything else.

We applied last time and just going through the application itself was a really nice team exercice!
If you're a team in Canada interested in having a studio with worker-led and cooperative structure you should check it out!
Screenshot of my Community Hub Post for Elfie: A Sand Plan It reads: Hello everyone! I'm making this post here as it felt weird to make a post in the News section just to share the smidgen of bad news I have and then say there will be another more significant News post coming soon. But I still need to communicate with all of you that I need a bit more time. Perhaps there we're some who guessed that was the case seeing how tomorrow is the 1st of March and the game still says Q1 2026 (as I'm writing this). Thankfully, the delay won't be as long as last time and I also have chosen a specific release date. Which I will share with the Very Big Good News soon! I'm truly sorry for the wait. I'm excited to be able to share the full version of the game with you. I just need a bit more time. 😔 Thank you, Solomar
I'm sorry, I need a bit more time. 😔
But I have good news to share soon!

I like how there's always new art or posts that I'm likely to be interested in. But I think more importantly I've never thought about it in a way that I'd be missing anyone's post.
Thank you! It's been very exciting seeing the positive reactions Elfie has gotten so far. ☺️
Thank you for trying it out! It was really nice to talk to everyone at the event. 😊
The release of Fire Red and Leaf Green made me think that when I was a kid I never nicknamed my Pokémon.
But nowadays, I would probably name them like: Chud Son One (Quagsire), Chud Son Two (Clodsire), Skibidi-5000 (Rotom), Six (Minun), Seven (Plusle). Etc.
Current outstanding wishes for Elfie: A Sand Plan at 6769.
I told myself I would only be sharing important milestones for wishlists. This is one of them. #IndieDev
LOL WHAT???
Suddenly Leon Kennedy???
Elfie: A Sand Plan already participated in the last Steam Next Fest, so Elfie's got to sit this one out...
But she'd be happy if you tried out her demo nonetheless.

Though I don't have time to play any demos, I did take a quick look at Steam Next Fest. And I'm glad I did!
I found a game I was trying to remember the name of that I had played at Tokyo Game Dungeon!

Photo under the trees where it opens up to a beach. There's a person laying on a beach chair on the left. It's cloudy in the distance but the shadows of the trees are somewhat sharp, indicating that it's only partially cloudy in general.
I always find myself wondering in my film photography folder when I can't focus. But also, I think I miss the beach.
Perhaps unsurprising when working almost everyday on a game taking place at a beach.
As for film photography, it got too expensive to keep doing. 😔
*Proceeds to add the hat to all the sprites. 👒🐘*

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. 😔

I know it's just a pre-recorded video, but I apologize for anyone who tried checking the "developer playing" stream on the game's Steam page this evening. My internet has been wonky today.
I'll try again later or tomorrow.
Wow, how absolutely unsettling. I love it!!
That's a cool rock formation in the background, no? 😎🐘
