Hey all! HaxDev here. Woah! It's sure been a while since my last post (AGAIN!!) Yes, I know. And to that I have to say... well, I went on break. But now I'm back, and feeling more refreshed than ever. So yeah!

Here's everything new in the latest demo release:

  • 70+ new handdrawn CGs (not colored yet, but there are no more "use your own imagination" sections)

  • An option to hide the main dialogue textbox to see the drawing beneath more clearly

  • Small bugfixes

  • Fix for the glitch that allowed you to run really fast and go through a trigger box by mistake.

  • Added a fade out effect on some dialogue scenes.

You did read that correctly, there are over 70 new drawings in the game. I know, it sounds like a lot. But I actually did them in about a week. Lol. I dunno, I think it's because I also do animation sometimes, but it doesn't feel like a lot of art to me. Also I like doing it, so there! I will say that I'm not completely satisfied with the way some of them look... I think I'm an "okay" artist, but definitely not a professional. Because of that, some of the perspective shots look really bad. I'm hoping that as I continue working on this that my drawing ability improves.

The deadline (Christmas) for the finished demo is fast approaching. For some reason, I only become productive as I'm nearing a deadline, so... for real this time, I will be putting out content like you wouldn't believe! All that remains is 3D (argh.... ARGH!!!!) and some more music. I really don't like doing 3D... if there were one thing I'd outsource for this game, it'd be that. But I have approximately 0 dollars available for a budget, so I have to do it myself. Yeah... the indie dev life.

That being said, when is the next build? When I have the music and 3D done. Then, I'll be finishing up the first boss battle, and the demo will be finished.

I hope you enjoy the new version of the game!
