Repeated intro
Hey everyone! I've been grinding and The Backworld is looking awesome! I've got a demo that should be coming out sometime this year.

The Backworld changes
In terms of new gameplay mechanics I've been upping the number of options and strategies at your disposal while exploring in the overworld.
Enemies now also are damaged by hazards like traps and projectiles created by enemies or toxic ground/air. So you can hurt enemies or even fully defeat them before a battle starts if you can get them to run into these hazards.
I have also upgraded the stealth system, you can now crouch near objects in behind the line of sight of enemies to avoid them. The "stealth upgrade" Sandra grants you now allows you to stealth past enemies even if they should be able to see you, and it's basically a very limited resource that replenishes at checkpoints.
On the super hardcore modes you're really going to have to use these mechanics well to survive! I'm also probably adding in usable items so you can set down traps or shoot projectiles in the world yourself.
That's it for now!
