Update v0.12: Improved Visuals


Version 0.12 is out now!

This one focussed mainly on improving various visual effects of the game. As well as an improved tileset and frames per second increased from 30 to 60 FPS, which makes the game much smoother overall.


Other changes include:

- The Birds are no longer hostile, and flies away when approached.
- Balance changes to certain tough enemies, giving them a weak point to certain weapons.
- Small graphical changes to the GUI.
- Changed some rooms layout a bit to have more space around.

Huge thanks to the TileSetter tool which makes creating and updating tilesets much easier!

No significant gameplay changes have been made, but with the smoother movement, new tilesets and new effects makes the game look more polished than before. But there's still a long way to go for a real release.

It's been quite an experimental build, with trying out full backgrounds, improving the FPS, and thoughts about controller support. There's a lot going on when trying to implement backgrounds. And controller support would probably need custom keybinding settings as well. I've decided to save these for later.

Fair warning: because of the saving method used, the save can't load the changes made. 
Attempting to load a previous save will most likely cause a crash, so it's required to start a new game instead.

The next update may either be trying for controller support, or implementing backgrounds and finishing the visuals. 
I'm looking forward working on those. :D

Also, this may probably be the last time I'll call it "Hjort Helten".
It's name's up for a change.
