Getting ready for release
Probably nothing new for the next two weeks. I am playing through the game from start to finish, marking any bugs and squashing them. The XP is increased (probably too high tbh), but that is pretty much it.

Almost Time To Release
You read that right. I am finally done. There are still a lot of things to do, though. I am doing a complete play-through, and a lot of Steam things are left to do. Also, keys will go out to streamers. If you know any that might be interested in playing my game, let me know.

Update 8/24/24
A button was added to fix/reset maps. Use this if you have bugs; this won't delete important things. Made it so you can only have 2 followers follow you at a time. You can wear the crown to get 3. Slowed down everything that moves (except projectiles) to make the combat feel smoo

Made it so you can only have 2 followers follow you at a time. You can wear the crown to get 3.
Slowed down everything that moves (except projectiles) to make the combat feel smoother. See if you like it better. If you hate it let me know. The speed is set to 75% of what it was.
Updated a few sprites and fixed some text boxes.
I am still working on the next chapter.

Hey, it has been a while! Expect some more updates coming up for the third chapter. I am now hard at work making the largest section of the game so far and it is a little more work than I thought it would be. Some of you might know I had some health issues at the beginning of the year and had to pause the actual production of the game (though I was still working through it in my mind (: ), but I am ready to start putting more updates out. I am fine BTW.
The section coming out is a large maze complex of interconnected caves. I am also working on the Anura race (frog people), which will inhibit the mountains and irradiated waters. Of course, those who have been around for a while know that art (for me) takes a lot of time. Programming I can do... art is getting faster?
Anyway here are some things I remember working on and are in the update:

Chairs, beds, and a few other things are now 4-way rotatable. If you think of others that should be able to be rotated in four positions let me know and I'll work them in.
After each major chapter unlock (Humans and Karkadann) you will unlock a new building menu that gives you unique buildings (ex: adobe buildings). I'll work on adding a few more things to these menus.
So many other things I am excited to show you but aren't viewable yet because they are in the new chapter.
Minor bug fixes and such and probably a lot I forgot.
Thanks again you guys for being patient with me :)

Initial Update to current Stable Build
More coming later but I need to test it. The upcoming build will complete the ACT 2 main story. I will then focus on a few side missions I would like to add before moving on to the 3rd ACT. Thank you all for your patience as I navigate my new family structure :)

Merchants and two 'new' weapons
Change Log Added a merchant to the game which is actually a new location. Merchants sell gear. I'll probably also add merchant booths in other places. Added a metal boomerang and bow. More damage and range.
