Hi everyone! Long time, no see.

After such a long break, one might think that I gave up on my game, but no. It's not going to happen.

I'm still actively working on it and try to carve out some time every day between my full-time job and family life.

As I'm not much more talkative than the game's protagonist, I did not want to bother you with any posts until I could introduce you  to something new. And finally, I'm happy to show you the result of my efforts - the new version of the Mongrel Story Demo!

Since the first build in January,  a lot of things has changed, for example:

• New mechanics: swimming, diving and ledge climbing! I hope, with them platforming became more various and natural;
• Most of the enemies were revamped, especially the first mini-boss - now it has completely different behavior and is much more interesting to fight with;
• New enemy type was added;
• Level design of existing locations was reworked - so even if you already player the first version, you will find a lot of new things to explore!
• New locations were added. New swimming mechanic required some space to play with, so I've added a new location - the underwater cave. Also, you will meet a new NPC there
• One optional speed platforming challenge in a hidden location - you will have to apply quite some effort to find it! If you complete it in time, you will obtain a first piece of knowled about the game world. The future game will have a lot of them ;)
• Art of most of the levels was reworked and/or improved. This version is definitely more eye-pleasing than the previous one!
• New UI - inventory and ability menu;
• NPC dialogue system was reworked and improved, as well as dialogues themselves.
• New music and sounds made the world feeling more alive!
• A lot of bug fixes and minor improvements

I want to thank everyone who downloads the game in advance and encourage you to leave your honest feedback. Please share any bugs you encounter, suggestions you may have, or general feedback on your experience. And keep in mind that work is still in progress.

Stay tuned for future updates!

Sincerely yours,

Alex, the developer of "Mongrel Story"
