Repeated intro

Hello everyone, apologies about the lack of news and updates. Life has unfortunately been very much getting in the way of progress, I had to get a day job again a couple months back due to needing to make some repairs to my home. This has meant progress has slowed to a crawl as I've been working a lot more hours than intended at this second job. Thankfully things have slowed down so I now have more time to work on the game again. In regards to that...

changedPreviously Episode 2 was going to be the more fantasy based one, where you play as a knight who's sent off into another dimension to do the bidding of the old gods. This was going to include the new gore system and a bunch of new levels. This will now be episode 3 instead. I changed this up as the story for the previous Episode 2 felt like a much better way to wrap things up.
changedEpisode 2 will now continue the story of Amy (COVEN witch lassy) where she is once again called upon by the old gods, this time in Victorian London - to seek out and destroy a dangerous cult which has taken hold of London's ruling class. I'll be going for a more mid 90's vibe. So Amy will be going forward in time but we'll be travelling back somewhat in terms of aesthetics.
addedThink lower resolution/colour textures, enemy + weapon sprites, crunchier sound effects, faster player movement, more sprawling levels etc. There will also be a new roster of weapons to annihilate your foes with, as well as a new magic system.
changedI'll post more updates on here as I make progress, as well as on bluesky and patreon (it's free) for people who use those platforms. I'll also be posting more smaller updates in the Hellforge Studios discord server in the COVEN channel.

Sorry again for the lack of updates but life very much gets in the way :( Thank you all for the continued support.
