Grappling hook + timing = successful entrance

Since the game's EA launch half a year, I've been focusing a lot on optimization. I made a post describing some methods I've used and showing the progress I've made: https://gustofwindgame.com/blog/?p=184

A short clip showing the reckless fighting style of Gust Of Wind's AI. Guard wakes up another enemy and regrets it soon after.

I got some feedback of the caracters looking too "cute" (or goofy was the exact word). There's some intentional goofiness for sure, but maybe the character style clashes too much with conventions of the stealth genre. I did an experimental paintover.

Spending my effort on the things that matter in Gust of Wind

Prisoners getting moved below deck after a successful boarding. (featuring AI moving in a rocking ship, which I've banged my head against a wall for a while trying to do)

Playable demo of Gust of Wind was just released.

Step in the three-toed shoes of a mutant gull and inspect an abducted ship in a stealth mission and a dialogue-centered section after that.
