Devlog No.048

The past couple weeks have been a bit hectic and anxiety inducing, but everything got done and now feels like it's settling.

The first thing I did was finish up Nokah. Though I am going to work on a slightly different alternate where her booba are weightier so I might add that one to her post without notifying just as a heads up. It'll be more like she flops down on her chest and blows up to the size currently shown type of thing.

The second thing was that I got a discord set up. If you're a paid patron you can have access by simply connecting your discord to Patreon. If you decide to cancel, I don't think you are removed from the discord either, but you will lose access to the Patreon only channels and you will not be able to talk. You'll still be able to see general chat though and the most common updates. Now that everything on that front is done I feel much better about having opened the discord up and I'm a lot less anxious about how it's gone. I thought it would require way more maintenance than it seems to so far. Though some of that is very much thanks in part to a good friend Skyla.

The third thing that got finished was an updated demo. Now there are a lot of QoL changes in the demo such as the stairs, coyote time, the map, and some bugfixes. As well there's some new content such as the first boss/bosses and some new unlockables. I also added in a silly little main menu clickable. I'll upload the video of that for those who are not on the discord after I'm done this devlog.

Finally, I updated the main branch of the game. It's only a few small changes and some bugfixes, but it's still done just in case you want to play the game for any reason and had an old version. Check the builds collection to quickly jump to it.

There is also the ongoing poll for the NPC to receive a TF this month and it's looking like Galitoray might be the winner, but it's close. In regards to NPC tfs to do still, Ven'drothe blimp will be coming up. After that, the winner of the poll will be done, and then, at last, we'll be back on course to working on the next patch! 0.6.0.0! This will include a new boss, area, some new enemies, a new weapon, a new powerup, probably a new powerdown, and probably a new spell too. Quite a lot to be packed into this one! Though it will mostly be a lot of programming and animation/design stuff. There will only be one new level, but it will likely be jam packed full of new stuff. The build after that one will be spent mostly just fleshing out the new ideas that come in this patch and so on.

And that's it for now!
