Wind Carrier; Pre-Alpha 1.97, Demo 1.2.2

Hello all!

Today is a build day, and as per usual the newest build can be found: here.

We've got a fair amount of stuff this week, so let's dive right in.

Bug Fixes:

-fixed a bug where if the player finished an enemy as they became unstunned, the enemy would continue to attack until it was removed by garbage collection

-fixed a bug where hummingbird sprites weren't spawning properly as permanent followers

-fixed a bug where enemies continued to take continuous damage (eg. poison, burning) after death


And that's all of that. I'm glad I was able to fit as much as I did in this week, especially since you all can go and try it!

The new Civ Info menu. 
Out play-tester actually suggested this to me, along with a civ point tool tip in the inventory menu. I had thought about doing both of them in the past, but I always forgot. But, now one can check their civilization's status, for a Wind Carrier on the go. :p

The new upgrader widget. 
I already fixed a bug which I hadn't noticed before uploading the new build. The scroll box that houses the upgrade choices wasn't dumping itself properly, so it filled forever.



And then here we have some card art; nothing spectacular, as it's from me, but something is better than nothing, as far as I'm concerned. 
From top to bottom:

Fennec Breath
Daze
Wall of Ice
Refreshing Downpour



And that's all I have for this week. I am officially back to being excited about working on Wind Carrier and I feel like it shows in the quality and the the quantity of my work. 

Anywho, until next time,
