changedCharacter ArtLast time I updated the art to make use of programmer art, this time I commissioned a fantastic artist, Gungsp , to make some beautiful character art for the game! It's quite an improvement, and has led me to pretty up the dialogue system itself, too.
addedAchievementsI've added a set of achievements to help guide players to the end of the game, and make it clear when you've reached the proper "ending". Along with a few secret achievements for if you decide to detour and explore the secrets hidden within the island of Skye.
