V.07 Dodge Roll and Swimming! (Patreon)
Content
What's new in V.07:
- Dodge Roll System! Press Shift, (or X on a controller) to do a roll! Carefully time the press, and you can chain them! This will help you move around faster. It may also come in handy for other things in the future... (this is ability is not unlocked at the beginning of the game, so this is a spoiler)
- Swimming system! Hop in the water, and see Red's shiny new Swim Floaties! (Also not unlocked at the beginning of the game, so spoiler) Press X to get a boost of speed occasionally!
- Fast Travel System! Find a perch and talk to Penny, she will take you wherever you want to go!
(All of these features are about 80~% completed! We still have some polish, effects, and transitions to add. But the basic functionality is there!)

What's the plan for this month:
Man, I'd love to say "ACT 1!" but with the holidays around, things are way more hectic and unpredictable. We are gonna do our best to keep pumping out content. We may have a majority of the assets for act 1 IN by the end of this month, but I really doubt it will be polished and totally ready.
What I'd like to do, is if we can get all that stuff to the point where it's playable, despite things breaking or w/e - then that'll be great for this month. Then next month we can worry about polishing and prepare for our actual big hyped up Act 1 release later in January.
I've got an animation to finish, a sex scene to start, a couple locations to finish up, then random polish here and there. I'd also like to get some sound effects going for several elements in the game, visual effects and particle effects (for things like swimming ripples, snow foot prints etc) Mainly a lot of little things here and there. Probably some more writing and what not.

I do want to thank you guys a ton for all of your patience and support!
Last month was a bit of a doozy for me. Between a bit of an art slump, and then helping out with a friend's family-emergency (this is still on going) - not to mention the holidays, lots of last month wasn't as productive as I'd have liked. It's been a very difficult month, and I've been quite frustrated from it all. But sometimes life throws us curve balls.
All I can do is remain thankful for all of your guys' patience - and do my best where I can to keep things rolling!
Thanks again everyone! Let us know what ya think of the new mechanics!
