Version 1.1 Update

UPDATE 1.1 Now Available!

First off, I just want to thank everyone for the feedback on the game! I'm happy to see this prototype is being received so positively, both directly on here and from the messages people have been sending me. It makes me excited to continue my efforts to use this as a foundation for a larger game in the future! As for now, here is a minor update that changes/fixes some of the following.

VISUAL CHANGES:

The most obvious change here is the Pause Menu, I wasn't thrilled with how it looked and it felt very placeholder-y well... because it was. So I've updated it to look a little more interesting. As I've stated before none of this is final, nor does this reflect how it will look in the final game, but for the sake of this prototype I think it looks a lot better.

(OLD 1.0.5 pause menu / NEW 1.1 pause menu)

Next Up Are Some Visual Changes to better show when you can enter doors and when you can progress text. New icons have been added to display when you can take these actions, as well as a new sound effect when text boxes are clicked through.

There are other small visual changes throughout the game, such as a font change on the white switches in the dungeon, new item icons, smoother camera movement, and even some small room decor changes. All of these I believe add up to help the game feel a little more polished.

BUG FIXES:

Some small bugs have been fixed in this newest update. These bugs include:

-An issue with energy drink recovering an inconsistent amount in and out of battle.

-The white switch timer continuing to tick when the player enters battle. 

Both of these have been fixed, thanks to those who played the game and brought these to my attention. 

TLDR:

v1.1
-Pause Menu has been redesigned.
-Updated Item Icons.
-Icon added to textbox to indicate end of textbox.
-SFX added when textbox is progressed.
