Growing Explorations v1.0 Anniversary Version - Early Development

So, here we go! Another 'release'! I will begin with saying, this version is very buggy, as I rushed it for release near the game's anniversary. I will release the full version when the new tileset is done and I redraw the map.

So what is new? To be honest not a ton has changed. This update contains mostly QoL fixes and reworks of the previous update. No major changes have been made, thus far. Even so here are a few things I have reworked:

• Saving has been changed a lot - now you can finnaly go back to the main menu after starting a game. There is also an autosaving feature. You can load the latest autosave from the continue button in the main menu.

• Combat has changed again - now it is not as clunky as in the previous update

• Particles! - there are now particles pretty much everywhere - when you attack, when you dash, when you use your ability and so on

• Damage has been rescaled - every statistic has been increased x10. Also defence and resist are now percentile based reduction instead of a flat one.

• Changes to spawning are in progress - Enemies now spawn in zones instead of a random spot near you. This is because when the new tileset is done, I will make the map be a drawn one instead of generated randomly. Currently spawing is really buggy and does not work as intended, but will so in the upcoming fix patch

• Menu changes - I have changed the style of some interfaces to suit the game better

So what is bugged? As I mentioned, spawning is quite hectic right now, but will be fixed shortly. There are also a few issues with enemies not attacking and some animations for the player not working properly. I will fix all these then the full release is out.

Anyway, thank you for your patronage and I hope you stick around to see what is coming pretty soon!
