I said last time that I would get a new demo out early 2023... and we are already halfway through the year. That's no big deal though. I blame most of the setback on overloaded college work. The rest I blame on Darkest Dungeon (really fun game, but man does it suck your life away).

Also, my last computer got burnt up. I didn't lose any data, but I also didn't have any data for about a week. I've been using a laptop since then, and it gets the job done well enough.

For the first few months of this year, I've been working on getting a new menu set up, which I've already posted a video about on my Youtube channel. From then on, I've been working on drawing images for cutscenes in-game (one of which I've attached to this post). I've completed the intro and another cutscene, and so now I'm working on battle animations.

ALSO! I'm changing the names of most of the main party members, plus the main villain, because my vision for the game now is quite different from in the past. The jokey names have no place in a more serious plot. These are the full list of name changes.

GIRL --> Ellie (short for Elizabeth)

Butt -- Chris Kaiser

Felony --> Anthony Apollo (but some call him Melon)

Maggie... stays as Maggie (her last name is Tonitruum)

MAN -- Allister

So yeah, that's about it. See you next year! (Hopefully sooner).
