Procedural Generation Update
Hello all!
Today, we're bringing a number of changes to the game that I'm happy to have. Some quality-of-life improvements are here to stay (and more shall follow!), and the biggest update is bringing the procedural generation to the demo. Previously you could only play on the two static levels, but we figured it would be a bit more fun to see some of the level diversity before you buy the game.
Also! Development on the full game is going smoothly, although we've encountered some hitches that prevented us from releasing the game when we wanted to. We were aiming to release today, but alas! We will have to delay a wee bit. I don't anticipate a huge delay—no more than 2 weeks—although I'm still sad that we couldn't release on time. Oh well, lessons learned!
This whole project has been a huge undertaking for the team since we had very little time to work on it. There are some features that I really wanted to add to 1.0, although they will have to be introduced later in some free updates. And yes, we will absolutely be updating the game with free content updates post-release! I'm really looking forward to working on them. More information coming later!
For now, here are some changes that we've shipped over to the demo. Enjoy!
