Campground updates

While Kay's been making the Trials all pretty, I've been working on upgrading some textures of my own! A big improvement over the current ones I think!

Small update - Dialogue system rework

- Completely redid dialogue system to allow for multiple speakers, multiple choice responses and enable easier creation of cutscenes. - Adde

[aethershotgame]

The next non-bugfix update will probably be in a couple weeks. I'm doing some bigger backend work to both the dialogue and enemy systems to make them more robust and easier to work with. It's just taking a while due to how involved with the rest of the game they are. If all goes well there should be an immediate improvement as well as making future work (such as full cutscenes and new enemies) much easier to accomplish. - Derg

Dental update. I need to get crowns on basically all of my teeth

This is going to cost a ridiculous amount of money and several trips to get everything fixed. But the stuff I have to fix this year will be over $1000 alone and that’s just a small fraction of the total teeth I need to get fixed

I set up a ko-fi goal if anyone is able to help out because I absolutely cannot afford something like this right now:
