Hello everybody! I'm a bit late this month but I wanted to push through completing the 2 sub-dungeons for the final area of the game. So that means the actual building/scripting for the final dungeon is complete but I still need to complete the final encounter and wrap up the story. I also added moving platforms, new skills, and made tons of bug fixes and optimizations to keep up on things I notice as I test. On top of that, I launched a Discord server for the game, so if you want to chat, give feedback, or just hang out, come join in! Exciting times ahead as I get closer to the finish line!
