Developer Notes and news:

This is a smaller update than usual as i am hard at work on new content for the game. Currently I am still working on the new boss fight and balancing existing levels.

E1M4(Burning city) is currently having some of its arenas reworked and the enemy placements are being changed. Work on E1M4 is close to being done just need to finish 1 more combat encounter and do more play testing.

The Boss fight for E1M6 is pretty much done now with all of its attacks working. However it still has some bugs i need to iron out and the balancing of the fight needs minor adjustments.

Work on E1M7 and E1M8 is starting soon. After those levels are created in a MVP state, I'm planning start doing detail passes on existing levels and add more NPCs and secrets to each level.

Another element of the game i want to address in the future is the difficulty, making sure that the game gives a good challenge and still feels rewarding.
