This update was a big one. It focused on making a vertical slice of the game consisting of the alchemy laboratory, encounter select screen, combat encounter with the wolf in particular, and post-combat loot encounter. Major visual and quality of life changes are baked in to this one and I am excited for you all to get to play with them.

Change Log

New:

• Enemy and potion animation system
  • Wolf, Firelick Potion, and Waterbeam Potion are vertical slices of more to come in this department
• Various UI animations and interaction responses setup
• Loads of new SFX for both UI, enemies, and potions
• New music tracks that crossfade, stop, and start appropriately to blend with gameplay

Changed/Removed:

• Visual overhaul of alchemy lab, encounter select, combat, post-combat looting encounter, and tutorial
• Maximum HP and Maximum Focus UI elements now double as active HP and active Focus during combat encounters
• Card tooltips moved to "back of card system", pressing and holding on a card in combat flips the card over so you can read the details of it on the back.

Future Roadmap:

• One time use consumable powders that apply a special powerful effect to a potion for it's next use in combat
• More art, sfx, and music for the rest of the content
• Main menu screen
• Settings menu with master, music, and sfx volume sliders
• Double clicking ingredients or potions in brewing encounters quickly moves them into their appropriate inventories.
• Tutorial Intro checkbox in the pause menu (This will allow you to check a box to opt-in to replaying the tutorial sequence at the beginning of your next new run.)
• Tutorial reference page in the pause menu (Functions as a help menu to review how game mechanics work at your leisure)
