We couldn’t start this update without [b]thanking all Kickstarter backers[/b] who played NetherWorld's boss beta (and also happy you liked it that much!). It’s been 2 months since its launch, and their feedback has helped us a lot improving and fixing certain aspects of the fights.
[list]
[*] Most of them pointed out there was a lack of reloading feedback sounds: [b]FIXED![/b]
[*] We’re also working on some [b]visual improvements[/b] such as the [b]hallucinogenic gas geysers[/b] from The Angry Tree, among others.

[h1][b]5)[/b] Story[/h1]
During the last updates you’ve heard us focusing a lot on minigames and bosses, but [b]what about the main story?[/b] Well… We’ve:
[list]
[*] [b]…finished a quest list system[/b] available from the inventory (footage soon)
[*] [b]…kept writing the second half of the script.[/b] Thanks to having all the game scenes and interactions planned, we can build most of the cinematics without having the final dialogues. That will avoid production bottle necks in the future.
[*] [b]…taking advantage of our event system[/b], which allows the game to change weather, dialogues, character design/locations and more depending on the actions (events) completed by the player.
[/list]

[i]Some scenarios will look different in many ways when you come back during the story.[/i]
[list]
[*] [b]…been revising all first half of the game[/b] looking for bugs and possible scenario&cinematic improvements [i](still doing it)[/i].
[/list]
Talking about improvements...
