After shelving this project several months ago due to other commitments and an inability to actually work on it, I have decided to come back to Ix with renewed vigour to get it completed.

Changes that have gone in already:

• Some smaller systems have been rewritten (thanks to work on other projects that allowed me to come up with better solutions), and others have seen tweaks to make them better.

• A new save/load system is in place, and the controls have had an overhaul.

• Player controls can be changed, and graphics resolutions can be selected (neither of these were previously possible).

Things that are still on the list before this can fully be released:

• The final boss still needs to be created.

• SFX need to be added (there are very few in at the moment).

• Adjustments to the player and enemy balancing is looming.

• Adding back in the text system to display information during the game.

I am sure more things will come along as I continue to progress with working on Ix, but at least now I have a better feeling about how to get this over the finish line.
