Progress update: Chapter 3's intro cutscene is all done! The outro cutscene hasn't been built yet, but I did write its background music! Unfortunately, this music won't be uploaded to GameJolt, on account of because I said so.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're still at it!

Special number 2: Javelin Fusillade.

That's quite a lot of javelins. And a lot of explosions. I don't think this guy is ever going to calm down.

HEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who don't know him, this is Crimson. Nightmare's darker side. The most powerful being in the setting.

If you want to fight him, you're going to have a very, very bad time.

I've been retouching several things in the game that could use a little more love before release.

Among these is the nanotech system! You now get a flashy popup (with confetti and everything) when you unlock one, and the icons are also resigned.

Some new background elements in Chapter 4 (N). The sky's a little less barren now that there are more floating rocks off in the background.

These also use 3D depth for accurate scaling, parallax scrolling, and distance fog.

Chapter 4 (K) is DONE! And about time too - that's my longest level to date.

With that, Phase 3 (of 3) Milestone 2 (of 4) is now done! The end of this 7+ year project is finally nearing completion, and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Chapter 6 (K) is DONE! Kodon's story is nearly at a close.

A lot of work has gone into the game in since my last post, but we're deep into SPOILER territory, so all you get is a single out-of-context screenshot.

I'm not sorry.

(So close to release! AAAH!)

BOOM.

This is Crimson's final attack, Entropy Bomb.

This is what happens when Crimson runs out of patience and is done playing with you.

I'd wish you good luck, but I don't think that's going to help.

There's more!

Crimson doesn't know the meaning of overkill! Just how many attacks does he have at his disposal?

I'll give you a hint: More than this.

We haven't even seen his specials in play yet...

Oodles of options!

Accessibility aids aplenty!

I added some more settings lately to toggle distorted graphics, fine-tune the audio mixing, and other stuff. Hopefully this should make the game accessible to more kinds of players.

Wait, there's MORE???

...

Oh yeah, there's more. Once you annoy Crimson enough, he starts busting out the specials. This one, Flechette Storm, is just one of those screen-engulfing special moves you'll have to contend with!

But even that isn't the end...
