KNOWN BUGS:

  • A-60 & A-120 will sometimes not kill the player

  • A-90 won't attack the player if they are moving

  • Entities path strangely in certain rooms

  • Game has severe performance issues

  • Rooms clip with each-other

This update mainly focuses on building the foundations of the full game in the future, and everything will be refined in OVERHAUL. I am not satisified with the current state of entity navigation, room generation and overall game performance, so the Entity and Room Generation will be heavily optimized next update too. Everything scene here is a basic prototype version of how it will look later on. I am also aware that the head bobbing is a little nausating and that will be changed next update too.

OVERHAUL will be the first look into how the game will be in the future, and will not include too much new things apart from reworking everything currently present into a way more efficient form factor.
