This big update marks the complete playthrough from biome 1 to 5, new bosses, and a whole pile of updates, major and minor. The most important being biome 5, the Sporian space fleet and it's glutinous Lord Sporian. Spoilers in vid!

I have also added a dialog system highlighting the game's deep and thought provoking narrative design. We are only a few updates away from a full release now, including an OST re-think, more dialog, and a level creation/share system. The latter being the one that will be the biggest delay to full release, but I think it will be worth it in the end. Barring that, the game could be ready in the next month, but lets be honest, with Wukong and SM2 coming out, everyone is going to be really busy for the next couple months.

On another, more serious note: I want to apologize and thank those who have supported this game in it's early stages. I let you down, and I let me down when this was released and its been a cloud hanging over me for a long time now. The only way I can make it up is to see it through to the end, and I really hope you enjoy the result. If you have any feedback, or just want to publicly shame me, join me on the discord!
