HIIIIII!!!!!!!!!

okay, you haven't heard from me yet, so let me introduce myself.

i'm dustedsylvia!!! this game's main coder. so you can probably to expect to hear from me a couple more times before the game's release. theres a couple things i have to say right now, though:

first, thanks @TheRealKetchupsans_2009 so much for letting me work on his game. its been so fun!!!

secondly (and what you probably care about ;-;), the progress of the game:

*** menus / settings / credits: 99% completed ***

i say 99% because you never know what will be updated in the future. but everything in the settings and menus is fully functional.

menu design by ketchup!

*** cutscenes: 67% completed ***

the intro cutscenes are mostly done, the necroptosis cutscene is...in progress.

*** overworld: 85% completed ***

the overworld engine is completely finished. that is, until i find a bug that needs fixing. all of the rooms up to necroptosis are complete! after that no work has been done. but yeah.

*** necroptosis: 20% completed ***

the starting cutscene and the first bit of the fight are finished. it'll probably be finished (by the latest) in a couple weeks.

dont, um, quote me on that.

the battle engine is 100% finished, though!!!! all i have to do is recreate the attacks.

...and fix some collision bugs

*** total game completion: around 70% ***

its fairly difficult to put a quantity on how much the game is finished. but honestly its all coming together!!!

and lastly: the game is 100% open source!!!

yep! you heard me right.

https://github.com/dustedsylvia/sp-dusttale-desperation

all of the project's files are publicly available, and will be FOREVER.

unless we get sued or something.

well thats all. download the game when you can! and thanks for reading all the way here.

...by the way, here's the game demo that ketchup DOESN'T want you to see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0
