Still chipping away at version 0.5
4 months ago
I apologize to anyone who is looking forward to my next patch. I hit a bit of writer's block during the first month after 0.4 so I've actually only been working on it for the last month or so. I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn't really know how to get there at first. But I am still working on it. I was hoping to do the whole desert in one patch, but I think it's going to be split up into two. I'm trying to focus on character development this time since I've always felt like that was my weak point.
In addition I reworked what I had to add in a complete continue system which took well over ten hours to get working properly. Now instead of game overs the player will have the option to keep going. It's very bare bones and won't work for every game over because coding is hard, but I got most of them.
I think that's all I've got. I don't have an estimated release time yet, but it is slowly taking a recognizable shape. If you took the time to read this please let me know what you think of the game. Whether it's a word of encouragement or advice to never touch a computer again comments do mean a lot to me.

The combats all so far have made pretty good sense from a gameplay point of view as well. I’ll definitely check back in with updates
