Hi there, this is the first of, hopefully, quite regular update events I will be creating here on the steam page. Because I have never written any post like this for the game, the only previous communication has been short video clips on twitter, I thought I would make a detailed post of which stage the game is in and what's left to do. [h1]Characters[/h1] Most of the characters has both their pixel art and their neater version that will be displayed in dialog. The picture below is just a test of some of the characters (about half) as a sort of promotional banner.

About half of the bosses has been completed in function but they lack a bit of polish.

These are the biomes: [list] [*] Forest [*] Beach/Coast [*] Desert [*] Swamp [*] Stone Islands [*] Mountains (Very Incomplete) [*] Glacial Mountains (not yet started) [/list] [h1]The Story[/h1] The story is written and for the most part implemented, most of the cutscenes are finished (There aren't that many). [h1]Items[/h1] 8 out of the 12 planned items have been implemented. Below is a little clip of the axe which can be used to cut, among other things, old tree stumps.

The GUI might need a bit of a redesign though, but for now it's functional.

I don't go overly into detail on anything because I don't want to spoil the game too much. It has been extended time and time again but I will soon be holding a beta to see what works and not. If you are interested in joining the beta send me an email at mail@poorlydrawnsquid.com and I'll invite you to it when it's launched.
