Heyyo, CraftedCircuitry here! Here again with a new update to the game! I went ahead and completed a good chunk of the final half of the game's content, and am starting to do the final area of the game!

Added

Finishing the Evergrove, the 7th Area, and Starting the 8th and Final Area
New Being Attack : Lightning Grid, Lightning Orbs, and Lightning Blasts
Some extra Beings and elements to earlier Areas to encourage exploration
To-Do List on the HUD of Active Delivery Quests
Hurt SFX
7th and 8th Area BGMs
Trials of the 7th and 8th Areas, with certain conditions activating Flawed Strength
Custom Mouse Cursor
Revolutionist and Tormented Beings
More Map Features and More Delivery Quests

Updated

If Delivery Quest targets are an enemy, slaying them counts as completing that Quest
Beings now activate transparency of Trees and Tall Elements
Showing of 'Progress Saved!' when going over Safe Points
Projectiles have better despawn animations
Certain Wave Pushers only allowing for Serpent Form

Fixed

Being Grow Attack not connected
Minor Optimizations of Sprites

More Attacks

Below are some GIFs of the new attacks. More animations and polishing are still needed.

More Beings

For the most part, the added Beings are the same just with little extra features to make them a bit more different. Rich and Super Rich Beings have lots of jewelry around them, while Tormented Beings have physical frustrations manifesting from them.

More Areas?

I'm planning to keep the last few areas a secret until release, or at least until I start sending early copies to influencers. However, progress for them are going very well. I may want to redo them though as I feel it's not the exact vision I want for them. We'll see.

On the optimizations side, the game still runs fine on my usual 5W TDP 45FPS settings on the Steam Deck OLED. The fixes I did before are at least paying off and the game world/the vast Sea is pretty big for what it is.

I hope the game can join festivals and events this year, I was able to get a slot into two later this year. So stay tuned for that!

That's it for today! I am genuinely very excited to finally get to play this game in its entirety. CraftedCircuitry signing off for now!

Just doing a quick update to add an extra ending to the game! This special ending is a spinoff of an already existing ending, and counts the same as that ending when wanting to do the all the endings. Players won't have to do that extra ending. I've also done some tweaks to certain ending functions to make them feel a little better.
