Words From The Developer
This update fixes tons of major issues. I'll explain...
1. We replaced the horrible player art I had originally drawn up.
2. There is finally character customization (thanks to Idiotekque).
3. The save system is finally bullet proof. I had completely overlooked the fact that the decals were still saved by their real (their number) index instead of their string (name) index. This meant if I added a new sprite it would break the save system each time. That is now fixed entirely.
4. The audio has been fixed up and balanced a lot. I played the game for about 10 seconds and my ears were bleeding from the lack of balance in volume. I would hit a tree and my ear drums would explode. I spent a good 3 hours trying to balance the audio. I even modified specific features of some of the sounds such as the bass and treble. The footsteps of animals now is distanced correctly and sounds a lot more realistic. The players footsteps are much more diminished. Overall the game feels and sounds a lot better now.
I think everyone will get a lot closer to seeing what I've envisioned for the game now that we've fixed a lot of the outstanding issues. I will be posting a new trailer soon as well to show off how much progress the game has made.
Thanks for reading and as always, thank you for the support. ^_^
