However, this is not the final update! There is still a long list of polish, tuning, and an additional chapter that is being worked on.

Thanks for all of your support, and patience over the years as we've developed this game. I hope you all learn something, and thank you for your support!

For those who are curious what is planned:

  • Snow chapter is unfinished (and consequently the collectables within that chapter)

  • Level design polish. Some levels are a bit linear, and could use more polish in general.

  • Localization updates. A large portion of the dialogue is translated via scripts, and as a result has problems.

  • Gameplay polish. Sound effects, music, particle effects, animations, etc. These are all things that have been somewhat neglected in favor of finishing the game.

  • Potentially more mini-games. For those who have followed the game since the beginning know that we scrapped a few mini-games due to ineffectiveness in teaching. We may try to bring them back if we can fix them.
