Good morning and afternoon to you people!

I am once again late, but I have gotten quite a lot more progress done. I finally have more independence for my own good, which lets me invest more into making that silly game of mine.

So, let's not make any hassle; let's get to what has been updated and what's being planned for next week!

Firstly, I've been working thoroughly on the training arc process. While I still have not completed the exp gains, I'd still like to work more on the mechanics, and I believe they are coming along pretty nicely. So far, I have completed the attack training and defense training and started to work on the crit minigames. While I still haven't worked thoroughly on the agility, I can assure you it'll be completed by next week!

Now, on that note of the agility... I have something that I am pretty proud of creating. It only had to take me 2 hours, but it looks amazing in my opinion!

So, this is one of my favorite creations so far. I have given the  ability for my little guy to do a critical strike! While it may not do much right now, I plan to implement this into the training and the actual battle once he lands it. I did have a better thought in mind, but I'll hopefully get to that level once I actually get better at these kinds of transitions and whatnot. So, this is just step one.

Next, I've decided to implement more updates towards the upgrade section of your coin and exp multipliers!

These are all meant to be included by upgrading the bridge and fixing it. Remember Glotch? He's the one who'll be responsible for gifting you these small but important upgrades, especially if you wish to progress much further in the game, or faster. And since I do think it's been a really long time since I've done a bit of art showcasing, here's a small art reveal:

And this is Mr. Cent! He's the 3rd upgrade one you fix the bridge for the 3rd time, and he's thinking about giving you a faster way to receive that speedy finish to the game. Additionally, I plan to input a couple bits of lore into this game as well, in the form of text builds. I plan to get them when you first unlock them and when you visit it in the museum.

Speaking of, I believe that's it!

The next time, i shall attempt to discuss more of the lore behind the game, along with finishing the crit and agility minigame, and occasionally finishing more of  the actual combat, because I STILL have not implemented even HALF of what I even meant to include, so... 

Anyways, that's it. I'll promise to stop being so late all the time, and I'll complete these weekly dev logs on the usual Fridays. Thanks for reading!

If you'd like to keep track of more of my progress and further invest in my time or even try to chat with other smaller random gamers who want to make silly games, you can check out this Discord channel. You can support my growth, provide suggestions, and hopefully help me improve as a game developer entirely.  Or, you could follow me on Reddit and see what kind of kiddle questions and answers I give to others. Or, now you can track a bit of my progress on my Youtube channel. This is mainly going to include small videos, including some progress with my coding and uploads for my video-dev logs.

So, as of now, the discord channel is being gatekept due to a lack of helpers and testers to hopefully get the server working as it needs to. However, I will also plan to get then server working sooner or later.

That being said, I'm glad if you read this far, and wish me more luck with my programming skills and game development skills even more. Gooood bye!
