This update took a bit more time than usual, but for good reason. We did a lot of code cleanup and game optimizations to improve framerate due to all the new Art assets we added in, the game should be running a bit more smoothly and hopefully some crashes were fixed along the way. We also added the new Meta Progression system called Mementos! You can now bring the Pebbles you find during your playthrough and use them to upgrade your stats forever!

Features

Mementos!

This is the start of the new Meta Progression system! With Mementos you're now able to spend the Pebbles you find during the match to upgrade your character for future runs!

Remodeled Ash!

We've took our time to remodel the Main Character! She's now missing one arm :cry: We also added her Ponytail with Physics! So pretty :heart_eyes:

A New Currency: Core!

Little Mac is a bit more generous now! He drops a new special currency called Core that you can use in Mementos to purchase some high-level upgrades!

More Maney!

You'll now be able to find different amount of Pebbles when breaking Crystals! There's now a 10 and 50 Pebble drop! Although we're still working on their specific Visual Effects :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Redone XP Curve!

The XP Curve was remade! You'll find it way easier to get some early levels and you will be able to level up a bit more during regular runs! :punch:

Enemy VFX!

There's a ton of new VFX for enemies like Slash attack for the Fodder, a Pre-Shooting VFX for Shooting enemies and some Muzzles! This should improve the gameplay experience by a lot! :wink:

Music and SFX!

The game now has some Music, finally! We also added a lot of new Sound Effects and they will keep coming! Oh, and we will work on some more music as well, so stay tuned! :musical_note:

Director's Commentary

Hey everyone! The Team worked very hard on this one! A lot of systems had to be either refactored or created from scratch for the new Mementos system! The good thing is that with this work done, adding more on top of it should be a breeze :yum:

The work we did on optimizations was no joke, we spent a lot of time making sure our systems were on top performance. We still have a lot of work to do, but this was also very important in order to continue working and expanding the game even further!

Let us know what you think and please report any bugs or errors you might find!

Cheers!
