[h1][b]Windswept officially enters its final year of development![/b][/h1] Another quarter has passed and this probably feels like a weird time jump from our last update where I only said World 1 was complete. Our [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/1660960/announcements/detail/3986315739268097925][b]Side Hustle[/b][/url] update a few months back explains in more detail, but all we really have left to do in Windswept now is tiling + styling the stages - so even though we just finished World 1, the rest of the game is going to follow along at a rapid rate, hooray! It's on that note I can say... [b][h2]World 2 is complete and World 3's beta is expected to be ready for testers at the end of September! [/h2][/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40989372/23d4c3c534ec751749eec6a492d354ccbdbeea05.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40989372/011cd71142a9177ba64aefa104de2a9ab65ad028.jpg[/img] Unbeknownst to our beta testers, 1 stage was excluded because I ran into some personal roadblocks preventing it from being completed on time and many assets were missing from the other stages, when World 3 rolls around there should be a lil something extra to check out (emphasis on should, I dunno what's around the corner these days).

The floral cliffs beyond the forest are also home to a new sort of enemy - the pips. Pips are mice that can be found everywhere from the highest tree to the lowest depth. Some have cannons, some run and jump over gaps, others float around in balloons and dandelions, they're everywhere!

World 3 is a much smaller world than the first 2 so the quarter ahead is largely going to be spent in the graphics and SFX department - so I'll finish the update with something very unfinished - a peek at World 3's first stage.
