Nothing major to report, obviously you can only get through area 7. This was primarily bug fixes, especially in the dialogue after my NPC overhaul broke everything. Humans, animals, and trees have all been fixed and should be working just as well as they were before, but with 17% more efficiency! Or maybe not, since they now have random movement cycles and aren't just standing around like statues 
The humans and animals do. The trees don't move. That would be weird. The elders stay in place, too.
I did not get around to implementing attacks. It really wasn't a priority for this release. There are a couple spiders running around, but they really aren't too bad except at ultra-close, practically-stepping-on-them range.
Otherwise, this was a very minor patch release to get me back in the game so-to-speak after a bad summer.
Next up
Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea 
Did some more work trying to fix up whatever went wrong and...yeah, let's just cut to the end where it didn't work 
Started a new project, made some changes, derped around a little, made this cute little guy
Behold my beautiful canoe!
Battle State Machine is working 
Player chooses what to do, enemies choose what to do, and they even have variable rates of attack/defend/flee. Next step will be to actually start dealing damage 
With exception of some minor odds and ends, the home interior sheet is finished, which means I can start on all the levels. The next house (level 9) is an old farmhouse, the kind that had a bazillion rooms 
NEW PACKAGES AVAILABLE NOW!
Version 1.1.0 is now available for Linux and Windows
-Platform bugs fixed where player fell through the floor
-Area 2 accessible through Level 8
-Minor spiffing up, wax and polish
It's Halloween! let's talk about SCARE.
Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.
