Screenshots:













*NEW* 9/6:

This is the desert area that was kinda sparse and open in the videos. I tried to make it look more organic/realistic.
You can spot an enemy in the lower right, and some hidden chests. The one in the upper right is actually pretty
hard to get to, but the reward is worth it :shh: :naughty:
*New 9/7*

Protect your money from thieves by depositing it in the bank.

A hidden area... :shh:

Now with 100% more shrubbery. The same map as the 9/6 screen. It's huge (300x300)!
