Dead of Day

Changing the world, one Human at a time

Build Report 0.20

Build 0.20 Pre-Alpha

Notes:
This sprint has all been about moving the core screens forward.

I do hope that the game has more to show in terms of playable content unlike my games last showing last September. I guess this just shows how hard being a part time indie developer can be. The game has moved forward, but perhaps some of it is more behind the scenes than what the player will see. Oh well we shall see in the next two weeks :)
