Close-up of the re-shaded Hensen!

Here's a short video showing off the improved gameplay loop and "stage complete" screen. The updated artwork for Hensen and his gun and the honey bullets can also be seen.

Okay, so the stages and score saving are both more or less working. Your score and high score will be saved throughout the lifetime of the application. Currently nothing saves when the game is closed, though, I'll be working on that next weekend.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Alright, I've been thinking... I wanna do a fly-off-screen when you complete a stage in Hensen Hopper (classic shmup stuff) and I COULD just hardcode it into the character controller script but I came up with a more nuanced solution.

Here's a before and after GIF of the re-shaded wasp enemy!

To celebrate the game's impending release, we've added The Knightling Pack and The Knightling Community Pack back to the Shop!

IT'S WORKING! As far as I can tell, the player's score, high score, and difficulty are now all saved to and loaded from a Json file on the application's persistent data directory (which is in the user's program files directory on their computer)!
