This update focuses on some some more polish focused updates. Including small UI changes,Updates to visuals,and better level transitions.

So first thing is the new Grass. I wanted to have it be completely sprites but this ended up needing to be used very sparingly to look decent but also it wasn't very good for performance. I've decided to go with a mesh based system instead. It has reactive "physics" to the player. Right now it doesn't work with the AI but ill be updating in the future to be affected by everything.

I've also set it up so it all works off a single texture for the sake of performance.

Second Major change visually is the new "Skybox" panels. before I had a very not sky looking color and no sun. I've since changed this adding a better color, clouds,and a Sun that can be moved

I have also updated the UI Text slightly to have a bit more depth. This probably won't be the last time I change it.

While on topic of the UI I have also made an addition to include Song/Music/BGM credits. This addition is to give credit to the artists who are making music for the game as well as include credits to the placeholder music! As you may have noticed Shimshon the Gadite is providing the tunes for demo until we acquire funding. Huge thanks to him so please go check out his work https://twitter.com/SHIMSHON_GAD

One of the biggest changes being made is the level transition, While the level start has yet to be implemented the stage end has been included albeit unfinished. These features are far from being finished but I plan on making them much more exciting and even tracking more stats for the player.

There have been many smaller changes/bugfixes/etc but I only plan to cover features for the demo for now on. The next update will big a much larger one that'll have level changes as well as secrets included. Also a more final level transition will be included in 0.0.8. My overall goal with the demo is to have a fully fleshed out more final representation of the full game by 0.0.10,

If you want to help speed up the process to this demo being finished leave a donation here on itch or head to 7hrone's kofi. We still need to raise about $250 more in order to get better placeholder sprites. If you can't donate please share the game around as that'll help immensely
