Update Overview

This update (0.0.5) marks a significant amount of code changes! 130+ file changes, including graphics, sounds, icons, UI, etc. There were hundreds of little incremental changes and fixes made for this update. Some are noticeable, like the main menu being overhauled and rebuilt, which was a much needed redesign. Some are more subtle, like the HUD fonts and text sizes.

The driving force behind this update was to smooth out the overall feel and gaming experience, and unify some of the HUD, styles and colour schemes used throughout to create a much higher quality finish. The video will be updated soon to a pseudo-trailer type video showing the elements currently in the game.

What to expect next? For update 0.0.6 there will be more of a focus on the visual effects, sounds and HUD elements of the game, to make it more exciting and feel more impactful.

What's new in 0.0.5

• Main Menu: Completely changed the style and design of the main menu, included new menu elements and changed the background to something more exciting. As the game progresses with development we'll add more to the menu scene.
• HUD: The style has been changed and all elements on the HUD now share the same font schema, sizing and colours. There are more elements to add and change in the HUD for the coming updates, especially for levelling up and notifications.
• VFX: Many more visual effects have been added, more enemy attacks and responses to movement and being hit.
• SFX: More sounds effects have been added and some removed, with a greater focus on cutscenes.
• Story: The story for the demo has been extended to the Graveyard now. This will be kept as the final location for the demo, for now.
• Enemies: 4 or 5 new enemy types, with different attack patterns have been added.
• Power Up: Slime-S can now gain another power.
• Boss Battle: 1 boss battle and 1 mini boss battle have been added.
• Companion: The first of the main companions is attainable! Be careful though, if she dies during the battle, there is no way to get her again. You'll have to restart from the beginning. Death is final!

With addition to these there are alot of minor updates.

Thanks for playing and hopefully you'll continue to enjoy Slime-S and follow the development journey to release!
