I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.

The best way to let everyone play with whatever controller they want is to let players test it out, reconfigure it, and let them test it again.

...it's a bit messy, since this is a game that should support two players.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

The hands have now been drawn.

Now, I'd better program something that does the math for me to do that polygon-blending trick.

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

It doesn't matter if you're drawing in pixels, by hand, or with polygons. Hands are hard to draw, period.

I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.

Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

Behold, blending vertex positions!

Old position + ((number between 0 and 1) * the difference between the old and new position)

This took so much math, it hurts. ...not the CPU, but it sure hurts me to do.

...and I've got four more angles to do this with.
