The Necromancer's Pact Hits v 0.0.7!

TL;DR: Redrawn first character, added new character, story cutscene, new start screen.

Hello, it's me again! I've got some exciting updates to share with you about the latest patch. Let's dive into the details!

First off, I've completely redesigned the first character, Amelie. Feedback indicated that her appearance and animations didn't quite hit the mark, with particular criticism towards the excessive "bounciness" in certain areas. Though initially, she served as a sort of testing ground, I took your comments to heart and rebuilt her from the ground up. I'm eager for you to see the new and improved Amelie, now a hooded soul guide for the little potman.

Introducing Isolde, a brand new addition to the graveyard locale. She reigns as the grave rat queen, overseeing the tombs with an iron paw. Isolde marks the final character for the graveyard setting, and I believe you're going to love her unique charm.

Another major update is the introduction cutscene, which unfolds when you step into adventure mode. It narrates the tale of a curious fox who ventures too high up the hightower and faces the necromancer's wrath—a story that hints at the complex nature of the pact, more curse than agreement, though the title remains unchanged.

The map now features two exciting additions: the Castle and the Hightower. The Castle lies beyond the graveyard, leading players into a new gameplay zone, much like the Hightower. However, these areas are still under development and won't be accessible until the full game launch. I appreciate your patience and excitement for what's to come.

Of course, I've tackled some bugs along the way and crossed my fingers that no new ones have crept in. I hope you find these changes enhance your gameplay experience!

What's Next?

My current focus is on enriching the game with more content, characters, and story elements to deliver a complete and fulfilling narrative. The goal is to launch the full game within the next month, so stay tuned!

Your feedback has been invaluable, and I'm doing my utmost to meet your expectations.

Thank you all for your unwavering support!
