Plans for Demo 3

• Some quick cleanup & organizing
• Prototype level design & itemization
• Art assets and textures/materials to fill out the world
• Sound, music, and more character art (lower priority)

Now that I’m mostly done with experimentation, I need to settle into a productive art/layout routine to flesh out the world, atmosphere, and gameplay. I don’t want to kill too much time on coding or writing; it’s a case of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”.
