The past few weeks have been pretty productive. I'm steadily making progress on the first act of the game, building the world and filling it with interesting stuff.

Treasure, secrets, side stories and interactions
Combat fine-tuning, enemy tweaks, item balancing
Game engine optimizations
New soundtrack for new areas
