Repeated intro

Hey there! I will be doing monthly updates to keep you guys informed on where the game is currently at! This month I've been hard at work building out the map of the world. We have also started updating the designs/portraits of the companions. The player is also getting an overhaul as their animations are from years ago.

changedPortraits and Companions Update
addedHere you'll see the player's design has been improved to be more unique (especially no longer looks like a Chara copy lol). The animations are also smoother, with some extra weight added to them.
changedBuilding the Map
addedI've been hard at work putting the base of the map together. That includes building the areas and placing items, exp, regular enemies, and hazards. I'm leaving more complex things such as bosses for their own time slot, but they are all planned and placed in the world already. Here are a few new areas I've been putting together! I'm around 60% of the way rn :)
