My Birthday Gift To You!

What's new?

Well, those steam trading cards are out. Get emotes and whatever!

New enemy! Ornithopter. Now you can engage in AERIAL COMBAT. They aren't all that difficult to outmaneouver, but they'll kill you dead if you try to ignore them.

And look at those clouds! Those are new, too. So fluffy. No more semi-transparent spheres that are invisible once you're inside them.

The lich has a new model and textures too. Reflection probes and stuff. The model's IK should now match your movements a lot better (leaning with you instead). You should start each level centered more properly in the saddle, too!

Fixed gesture recognition in a big way. The line resampling needed some work. You should now be able to be more sloppy with your drawing and still have it be recognized, and symbols should be mis-recognized far less often now.

Some various tweaks to textures to make them look less plastic-y.

What's Next?

Complete the graphical updates. The ship's textures are unfinished, so that needs touching up.

Sounds! More effects for things breaking, attacking. Unique music for each level.

Tweaking the spells! The Iron spells are lacking in uniqueness. So far we've got a lance and four different swords. Maybe get a shield in there for blocking attacks instead of damaging things, that kinda stuff.
