So, why am I sharing this?
Well first off, this video is a thinly veiled attempt at showcasing some of the new mechanics, and also to show off how smooth the gameplay can be. I have spent a LOT of time reworking some of the core mechanics of the game (something I touched on in the last announcement) NOT to "change" them, but just to push them a little further down their current path conceptually.
So, as an example...
The new upgrades and progression system is somewhat...
............
Okay, so apparently the word "pog" isn't cool anymore or something, but of course when I ask for replacement words I get "frog". So you know what, fuck it, I'll say it, why not? The new progression system is somewhat frog.
I love my job.
Anyway, the new upgrades and progression system works very similarly to the old one, however it's far more open ended and rewarding to the player. Now, you unlock new upgrades in groups of three instead of groups of two, and you get the new groups as you spend jade vines rather than paying for them outright. Just a nice adjustment to the system without changing how it impacts the game or how players interact with it.
A whole LOT of things have gotten or are soon to get that kind of treatment. I think this kinda outlines that a bit, since overall the game is just much much more "complete".
SO, take a look, and also...
Pretty please, cherry on top, review the thing I've made.
If you haven't already and you have the spare time, I would be extremely appreciative of a review. I don't know if it's odd to ask for them or not, but I always forget to write them for other games until someone asks me to, so I figured if you're like me you wouldn't mind the request lol either way, thank you for reading, and I hope you like the video.
PS: the occasional frame drops are 100% in the recording, I dunno what happened. OBS is funny with long recordings like that.
