Hello everyone, it's been another productive series of months and we'd like to announce the final update to the tech demo, and go over a little bit of our progress.
First and foremost we've finished a number of animations, including our basic movement animations, and even some basic interaction animations for our world. This means that a ton of foundation work is done, and we can soon get in combat animations and some of the more intimate animations ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Gizmo has also done amazing work on setting up the day/night cycle, and our lighting for the 2D environments, which you can see here:

What we plan to do with these day night cycles in the future is to have NPCs/Enemies have changing patterns and events from day to night. Weather is also going to be a key focus, and so you'll be able to see your characters getting wet when it rains, and different lighting during these weather events. These things potentially could even affect combat and the survival mechanics, which we'll be getting into soon.
As far as the environment goes, we've got awesome new areas and concept art for you to enjoy, including some concept art of a couple new planned races:
Keipr (Small Kobold-like creatures, that are similar to sharks. Haven’t decided on whether they get hair or horns yet.
Hyenas
More to come, including the Jackals, Wolves, and other races planned.
In essence, we've made lots of progress, and there will be much more to be had soon enough. We’ve gone back to the old v0.8 method of doing cutscenes, which will give it back that old personal feel, and we’ve tweaked companion switching so that you can manage individual companions from the in-game menu. In the future we'll allow you to be able to click anywhere and have a companion go there but the code base has long been changed since the tech demo.
We’d like to thank all those who continue to support us as the game progresses in development, soon enough we’ll be populating the Razorclaw village, the ship, and caught up with v0.8’s content. Please join the discord if you’d like to talk to us or get more detailed information on plans/development.
