Just updated the demo

It makes a couple important changes.

When you get allies they will have the additional effect of improving your ability scores. These bonuses only last while that ally is in your party. Different allies will give different kinds of bonuses, and (this part is important) they will only show once you have three or more of a particular kind of ally.

If your character dies, there is a new screen that shows. It should also allow you to start up a new game once you get back to the start menu.

I was able to fix a lot of little bugs, add some more artwork to the overworld, and adjust some dungeons as well. Most of the changes are not actually relevant to the Demo, as a lot of those locations are off limits for now.

This update includes built-in controller input as well as many smaller improvements.

You may have to disable the Steam input thingy in order for it to work properly.

Actually, it's probably better to keep the Steam Input thing active, as their interface is much more robust than what I have built. But in case it does not work, or if anyone is not playing on Steam, I wanted it to be there.

The game now works completely with mouse input only, keyboard input only, or controller input only ... or any combination players are comfortable with.

I plan on a lot of playtesting, updating a bit of the artwork, and adding a few new weapons and other items before releasing the game. If you have any thoughts, or find any bugs in the demo, I would love to hear about it.

I am not planning on an Early Access release. But I don't know, it might actually be good for this game, in order to spend a bit more time polishing and refining the experience. What do you think? I would love to hear back from players about this.
