Just a little bug fix and lore continuity update.

There was a bug where the camera could go beyond looking up and down, this is now fixed.

I changed one of the messages of Aria a little bit to make sure the lore of the next AI Stories games is properly continous.

Please wishlist my next game:

Hello Everyone!

A small update today that improves the tutorial by adding a voice over to talk you through everything you need to know, and boots straight into the tutorial for first run to ensure everyone understands what the game is about.

Also some minor UI improvements to help readability while playing the games. Every time a monster is sent between players a little icon gets sent from one minimap to the other, so you can see in real time what monsters are going where.

I'm looking to release the game soon so stay tuned for a release date announcement after some testing, and I get some steam requirements sorted for the store page.

Hello gamers,

I must be getting old or something cause I actually thought I had already posted about this before, but apparently not yet. Sorry about that.

So the good news is that I have settled into a rhythm of monthly progress updates over on Kickstarter, to keep my backers informed. These are open for all to see and read. So if you want to learn about the current state of development:

Here is the latest progress in July:

And the latest progress from earlier this month:

Basically, great strides have been made to complete all of the character actions (for now - just 3 left for later), and the new primary focus lies on making the various tiles and assets needed for the great many dungeons in the game.

Additionally, I (slightly) updated the trailer today. And we have also completed the last of the visual backer rewards this weekend.

That's it for new. Till next time.

Greetings,
Martijn

Thank you all for the support, feedback, and suggestions. Again! I can't express how much I appreciate the kind-hearted people in this community! This update is focused on fixing bugs and improving the game. I'll try to get controller support in the next update or the one right after. I'm prioritizing crucial bug fixes before adding more content.

Update Highlights:

• Performance improvements
  
  
• Added "Take All" button to containers, corpses, and loot
  
  
• Buildable landmarks now available, adds a map marker
  
  
• Improved Zen Queen's child spawn
  
  
• Increased corpse decay time
  
  
• Corpses now highlight when scanned
  
  
• Fixed progression bug with the TD Beacon
  
  
• Added build mode indicator
  
  
• No attacking in build mode or menus
  
  
• Increased gathering laser durability

Overhauled Enemy stamina system. Enemy Stamina works as follows:
For every 5 stamina, enemies get 1 action. Most enemies will have 5 - 10 stamina, though a few have 10 - 15. When enemies move to get in range of the player, they will spend stamina and may lose actions because of this based on how far they moved. If an enemy moves a large distance and has 0 stamina afterwards, the enemy will still always have a 50% chance to use a single action. Enemy moves are also weighted by how much stamina they have used, so enemies are less likely to use stronger attacks if they have used a large amount of stamina already.

Removed R button for recall for clarification, Recall is now only done using the recall button in your focus menu.

Skill descriptions now show both base cost and modified cost
