I probably shouldn't make a blog while I'm drunk but whatever.
I don't drink often but it's a new year and I've gotten a good amount of work done in these past weeks.
So it's been a long time since I made a blog and for good reason. I felt why waste time making a blog while I could use that time to work on the update. Well I can say that the bulk of the update is now done. There are a few smaller things to add but it shouldn't take too long. Once everything is done, I'll be getting some friends to play test it and make whatever final adjustments are needed. Then I'll do one final play test and after that I'll upload the update.
The biggest addition to the game is a new hint system that works like a mash up between Midna and the Big Sheikah Stone in the new Zelda games. Essentially its like having an in game walkthrough for those who need it. So the walkthrough I was mentioning in a previous blog is now accessible in game basically. I did this because I really want to encourage players to get through the whole game. Statistically, many people don't finish videogames these days and I think that's why Nintendo added in game walkthroughs to Zelda. I'm also adding an invincibility item, which is another thing I learned from Nintendo.
Another big feature will be the previously shown off world map. And you can now unlock secrets on the map. If you feed Tingtembo's animal friends, he will reveal secrets on the map. Yep, all the animals on the Savannah that were previously decorative are now interactive. They weren't interactive before because for one, I was worried about slow down but I have managed to set things up in a way that works fine. Two, I don't study Africa for the animals I care about the people, art, and culture but I recognize that other people enjoy animals so now you can interact with them.
And of course many other changes have been made, most notably just subtle tweaks that make playing certain challenges in the game more enjoyable.
I think I have taken the vast majority of feedback that you have all given me into account and hopefully that will show when the update is available.

Just, keep in mind this update is not out yet but I hope to bring it to you all soon. Thank you all, and have a great new year!
