Update Released - 0.2




Hi again, peeps. DragonSkies here.
Big news! The next update is officially released! I'm really excited about this one, because it's the update that solidifies all the core gameplay and really starts to make the world concrete. The bullets are whacked out and exciting, and for the first time this feels less like an experiment and more like a beginning of a story.
Here's a brief outline of major changes:
Kalista
ANOTHER DRAGON CHARACTER!!! YAY!!!
Talos's sister, Kalista the Dragoness, serves as the guide, teaching her brother the basics of riddling games through blood, sweat and tears. Her bullets are ruthless, and her sarcasm even more so. Also, don't expect her to go easy on you just because you're related... she has a reputation to keep both as a dragon and an older sibling.
Brandishing raging fire breath, which forces you to work on some pretty unorthodox pathfinding, and a claw slash that's almost unavoidable (but totally sick), she'll make sure you're ready for anything (being too much of a sissy to simply fight back). And while she doesn't quite understand Talos's desire to become a pacifist, she does serve quite well as your (reluctant) tutor.
Just don't ask about her golden statues.
All Core Mechanics Complete!
You can now FOCUS, PRESS, and ANSWER normally... but if you notice, sometimes the things you do leave a lasting impact on how characters perceive you. It may be good to keep this in mind as you continue...
Laevus Lancelot the 5th
The first enemy is fully complete! A knight wielding a spear that he may or may not actually know how to use, oblivious to any fear except the fear of losing his honor. The stakes are beginning to rise... but still, he doesn't seem that harmless. He just thinks you're a monster.
Future Updates
From here on out, my focus will be bug fixes, adding characters, polishing art/code, and adding endings. Stay tuned, and check out our discord for more ongoing info on the project!
Thanks for taking a look! Stay sharp and answer fast!
