HEY. So here's the first full month update for CK! It's a lotta bugs addressed, gasses re-gassed, trances trancified, and goo balls ga-boinked. Hope you're not too disappointed if you were lookin' for a new class and daily run mode. Between GDC, getting ready to move, and addressing bugs, I figured it'd be better to focus in this build on several less involved things so as to get you all something substantial rather than half-assin' two major features without first addressing the existing issues. As I was working on those other tasks and thinking about classes, however, I hit upon a bit of a problem. My plan has always been to completely finish the Poet and bully Before moving on to the next classes - so that they can serve as sort of a template and guideline for the others in terms of scope and ability. However, as I tried briefly to tackle finishing the Poet this past month I found the UI unable to accommodate the vision I have in mind for the class. So now, fixing up the UI has become a much larger priority if I am to finish the Poet and move on to the other classes quickly as planned, so that's going to be the first order of business going into April. Don't be a blue blob, though! I had always planned on redoing the UI once co-op was implemented, and to change the game to a 16:9 aspect ratio. It's just gonna happen now rather than later. This is also good news because the new UI will be made specifically with multiple players in mind, meaning I'll be able to jump into work on Co-op much sooner than the 'later' I had planned. So that's what's coming in the future, but let's check out the now: You can find the full patch notes for alpha 0.0.8 below!
