The major feature of this update is saving/loading of worlds, with all monsters, objects, scripts etc. It took about a month this time, but there was no way to release half of it.

The game is otherwise about the same, but feels a bit different anyway since you now keep your castles in every world etc. However, persistent worlds allow for long-term gameplay, so I’m going to build on that in the next updates.

Change log:

• Worlds with all monsters, objects etc. are now saved in the saved game.
• Added button to open saved games folder.
• Added “black dot” crosshair option.
• Combat music now starts immediately when a caterpillar attacks the player.

Some people asked about some kind of roadmap, so here’s a rough estimate of the development progress so far:

Engine tech: 64%
World mechanics: 39%
Global gameplay mechanics: 10%
Spells: 41%
Content: 7%

It’s a small update before I start working on the more serious stuff.

Change log:

• Added some music created by Josh Culler.
• Added resolution selection to options.
• Added “invert mouse Y” option.
• Added volume sliders.
• Spell casting auto-repeats now when you hold the button.
• Moved missile starting position closer to the player to improve targetting.
• Increased lightning texture resolution.
• Improved stone cups behavior.
