Step Less Quietly

Summary: In which performance gains are made; file-paths are a nuisance; climbing is slightly improved; and crouched footsteps are played.

Greetings and salutations!

Once again, this week has no screenshot, I'm afraid--while a number of things were done, they generally didn't produce changes that would be well-served by a screenshot, I feel.

First Steps Into a New Level

Summary: In which demo-work advances; UI support for language-selection is added; and work on the second level has begun.

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, an addition to the options menu that provides UI support for language-selection:

Towards a Demo

Summary: In which work on the demo continues; contact -info and -buttons are added; the credits/legal screen is updated; new (stand-in) menu-music is selected; a short-story e-book is made; crowdfunding is investigated--and found (perhaps) problematic; and seeking a publisher is contemplated.

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, a look not at something from the game, but at something adjacent to the game: the cover to a PDF e-book containing a short story that takes place in the same setting.
