Wow, another quick month and I’m happy to present version 0.2.0 of Heartlight!

This build again focuses on further fleshing out the full set of mechanics in a meaningful way.

New Features:

• continuation of the main quest
• a new level consisting of 8 rooms
• a (very placeholder) town consisting of 5 rooms
• a new weapon type
• introduction of 2 new npc
• an ally that follows you into battle  (albeit poorly)
• 2 new enemy types
• doors now show bounds of entry and exit
• change in post processing to appear closer to final art style
• added damage types so enemies can have resistances
• weapons now have varying power based on weapon type.

Bug Fixes:

• level load time reduced to less than 1 seconds (down from up to 20 seconds!)
• levels now load in chunks allowing for more stable performance
• updated Blockout Tileset to avoid empty spots at various level of detail levels.
• fixed bug where sometimes portraits don’t show up.
• fixed bug where sometimes health doesn’t reflect changes correctly
• fixed bug where console panel doesn’t properly open
• fixed bug where sometimes you could load into a scene twice

Known Bugs:

• occasional bright sparkle on sky and water
• sometimes chests appear opened when they still have contents.
• enemies will sometimes pathfind incorrectly or become unresponsive.
