Hey everyone,
Sharing our updates since the "OCT 2019 PUBLIC DEMO" that you may have tested out.
We've made plenty of changes from a game overhaul to adding an intro level that is a bit more player-friendly to help those to learn new game mechanics and controls. We've begun creating our inventory system, along with designing a variety of new weapons to choose from. Must we not forget about more bosses and environments.
