Game Journal #59 - Battle Beginnings, Part 2

Sup my dudes. I haven't slept in 24 hours. And when I attempted to get an energy drink from a vending machine, it took my money. All of my why. I just want my Monster drink.

Anyway, I got quite a bit done from last time. Not as much as I'd like, but enough to where I feel comfortable releasing a demo. You can now download it under the Demo page. Boy, I sure can't wait for winter break. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. I just want to sleep and code, bros. Work is taking its toll on me. It's peak season at FedEx, so I work 6 days now, and for longer periods (nearly 5 hours of intense weightlifting and cardio.) Bros. Please support my game if you can. I love working at FedEx, don't get me wrong, but I wish I didn't have to do it as much. But I must grind, so I can leave this state. Simple as.
