Project Quebic Devlog: Version 0.2.0

Hello,

We’re thrilled to share the latest updates on Project Quebic. Our team has been working tirelessly to refine and expand the game, and we’re excited to tell you all about the improvements in Version 0.2.0!

💬 A Message from the Producer

While we’ve made significant strides with version 0.2.0, I wanted to give you all a candid update on our progress:

• Sound assets are ready, but we’re still working on their implementation. We can’t wait for you to hear the sfx we’ve prepared!
• Our UI designs are complete, but some functionality needs additional programming. We’re excited to roll out the full UI experience in upcoming updates.
• We’ve faced some challenges with integrating new art assets due to connectivity issues with our artist. We’re working diligently to resolve this and bring you the visual upgrades we promised.
• On a high note, I’m thrilled to report that our animations are more fluid than ever, and we’ve squashed a significant number of bugs. The game is running smoother than ever!

We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate these challenges. Rest assured, we’re committed to delivering the best possible experience with Project Quebic.
