Status update time! 

Progress continues to be made on getting an alpha build out to play. I've been doing work on a number of the remaining items from the last post's roadmap, but I've managed to cross two items off the list entirely: the Main Menu and the Save/Load system. Despite my managing the save data from the beginning with serialization in mind, there were unfortunately some unforeseen roadblocks in getting it functional. But those are now behind me and everything is looking good! 

Remaining items:

Minimal Intro/Tutorial
- bare minimum setting lore and gameplay tutorial to make sure players know how to play the game. 

Music/Sound Effects

Mage Basic Progression
- I've come up with a few important ways to reduce the scope for the alpha build. Anything to get a playable build out sooner!
- I've also decided some work needs to be done to improve the cutscene system

Combat Polish
- Combat is functional but needs TLC. 

Once these items are done I'm going to do some heavy testing. Then I will likely drop the build into the discord server for the early followers to have a chance to test and find any issues I might have missed. Then I'll post it here for all to play! 

If you are interested in getting access to a test build before its released here, please be sure to join the discord server!

I'll keep plugging away, until next time!
