This months updates are very late. I was supposed to update Mar 14th. The good news is that the updates are SUBSTANTIAL, and that's why it took so long.
1 - Completely revamped the graphics.
2 - Added a parallax effect to every chapter animation.
3 - Added special effects - smoke, birds flying, sun glare, particles, etc.
4 - Completely updated sound system for better volume.
5 - Add "ambient sound" such as ocean waves, mountain wind, forrest sounds, etc.
6 - Updated save system and menu system.
7 - Updated art for Shop and Companion scenes.
8 - Completely updated the companion to act like a real interactive friend.
9 - Updated all Pastimes to be more engaging.
10 - Added BONUSES for when you complete a chapter Unscathed, Perfect, and Immaculate (the latter means you not only hit every word, but attended every Side Quest).
11 - I started on the final boss, but it still needs time.
So now, every chapter of this first book is 100% complete, or at least 99% complete for now. I only have to complete the very final chapter - the final boss. And that will be completed in the next release (end of this month or early next month). And then this beautiful mythology book will finally be complete and we can move on to the next book.
Actually, I will probably do a few shorter books before working on the next major volume, just to take it easy on myself and see some more content build as a reward to myself. It'll be very satisfying to see a few more books on the shelves of Keystone Library -- having put so much into this for so many months already.
That's all for now. Any further news will be reported in the Steam Community or on the publishing website www.dream-gears.com
