This update has destruction in its title because daylight savings time has destroyed the schedule I was on and I blaming it for what was possibly my worst week over the course of this project, I've included a squidward picture as a representation of how daylight savings has affected me.
As I said in the last paragraph the progress for this week was not good (I also did roof work this week leaving me extra tired) I fixed some bugs and did some work on balance, the biggest improvement was probably in choosing the ambient sounds for the last levels. I spent a lot of time trying to find sounds that fit the vibe I wanted But once I downloaded 14,000 presets for synth1 it became super easy to find what I wanted. In other news I've also started preparing to launch both my demo and full game on steam this is truly the end stage of this project.
For the week a head I think the only things left to work on are the end game, the save system, and balance and maybe add in some more items (super easy to do) and that's really all there is.
I have started slowly gearing up for my next project code name Chamoisee-Canvasback, I've mostly just came up with the cool codename and made an empty visual studio project. But I've also started the slow buildup of making the design document for it Ill probably reveal what I'm doing more as I wrap up ferulorum to try and smoothly move from one to the next, so the only hint ill give is that im taking a game I liked a long time ago and a mechanic from a recently made game and combining them.
So that's all for this one hope you all had a good week and hopefully next week is even better.
Change Log
-started uploading demo to steam did not expect the process to be the same as the main game
