I might be having too much fun with this process...

I know it's completely unintentional, but I swear this is the universe trying to convince me to dig my old handiwork out of retirement and do something with him.

Suppose it was about time that some of these skills got a little extra kick.

So, Plan B: The remainder of tonight will run V1 of a solo OCN mode, with an updated version coming tomorrow during the end of the con.

(And a further refined public release of this later on. If there's interest.)

Got a (mostly stable) demo ready for the occasion!

Ouch.

First signs of danger.

I think I know what needs to be done to shake up XL's next public appearance...

Still deciding if it's worth committing to a full rebuild, but I at least figured out a better way to handle the party swapping mechanic.

Mini Progress Update:

Motivation came back for a bit, so I figured I'd use it to bring Minibosses back into the fray

(Also working on a demo-specific sidequest that hands out powerups.)
