changedSo the first major change i want to announce is the switch from a linear map design to an open "free roaming" map you can explore, so from the start of the game you can pick a direction instead of being forced down a single path. You will still need to explore all main locations in order to complete the game, but you will be able to choose how you do so.

addedI'm experimenting with simple puzzles to help with pacing and adding more meaning to exploration. These are probably going to be very straight forward in order to keep the focus of the game on exploration instead of puzzle solving.

addedI want to realease a new demo that reflects more what the game has grown into, so that you still know what the game is about when it releases. Hopefully i will have it complete before the next Steam NEXT fest (to clarify, i mean the one AFTER June, so likely on October).
