It's finally here! After 2 months of redrawing the base tile set and rewriting a large portion Retro-Pixel Castle's core engine to support the new tile set it's finally time to release the first unstable build!
Aside from the massive improvement to the game's graphics this build also introduces a ton of memory management fixes, increased load times, and for some users improved frame rate. I hope everyone not only gets to enjoy the new graphics, but also gets a nice performance boost as well. :)
It's very important to note that the GUI is not completed. There will be many GUI related graphical errors in this build, you do not need to report any of these issues. Most of them will be resolved in when I redraw the GUI before the next stable release.
Please let me know if you've noticed a increase in overall performance!
You can report bugs over at the official website's Support and Bugs Forum, or on the Steam Discussion Board. :)
