With the release of the first public alpha version comes a lot of radical changes and improvements.
Keep in mind, this is still an early alpha, we are nowhere near done!

Here are some of the majors changes in this version:

• Various tweaks to camera angles.
• Improved the level loading system.
• Reworked the HUD and Score UI.
• Added a badge unlock prompt.
• Ported the game to Godot 4.4-stable.
• Added a few more badges, and changed how some of them are acquired.
• Better performance thanks to improvements to occlusion culling, NPC logic and particle loading.
• Tons of tweaks to the levels geometry. More details, less holes :)
• Complete audio re-balance.
• Added a fisherman NPC. See if you can find him!
• Ported the dungeon end cinematic from a video to an in-game animation.
• Improved the navigation system. The player should get stuck a lot less.
• Added some options and re-organized the UI.
• Added an in-game feedback system. Tell us what you think!
• Changes to the difficulty system, with a difficulty selection option/wizard.
• Updated the main character design.
• Tweaked the first chapter boss phase transitions.
• Changes to the Dream Garden shop UI.
• Added a windows executable icon.
• Too many bug fixes to count!
