The Week of the Wooden Figurine

Summary: In which a wooden figurine is detailed--a process that proves difficult; more pottery is added to level two; an editor-bug is fixed; a "dripping water" effect is work-in-progress; and the "general text" font is replaced.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows an update to a recently-added collectible, found in level two:

Player Feedback

Summary: In which the combat prototype's code is integrated into the main game; combat-related art is worked on; as is the combat tutorial; feedback comes in regarding the combat prototype; certain bits of in-level player-guidance are (hopefully) improved; a popup directs players to the options menu on connecting a peripheral; and a major issue is uncovered, and being worked on.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a bit of additional player-direction in level one:
