Welcome to the first actual changelog in about two months!
The number of changes isn't massive, but this is our first in a while and I've got some stuff to show off and some other stuff to speak about.

As I said, not a huge amount of changes, but a substantial enough amount to actually report.
The changes will become more consistent again as things have finally settled down and I am looking forward to working on Wind Carrier consistently again.
The updated HUD.
The flower around the level indicator, currently a pansy, will change based on the player's level. I am also intending to use these indicators as a vague level indicator for enemies - probably by replacing the health bubbles with something that relates to the flower indicator.
The updated Title art. The picture itself was done mostly by my beautiful wife, so credits to her.
That purple bit there in the back rotates slowly and is there to give depth along with a sense of unease.
Concept art for an upcoming creature: The MarshGlimmer.
Credits to the wife again for the concept art.
The creature is modeled already. It just needs, well, everything else: texture, skeleton, animations. I've already figured out its abilities as well. The MarshGlimmer, which may or may not have its name changed into Keili, is found primarily within the massive tidal marsh found in southern Goldrath. It lurks beneath the still waters of the marsh, using its vast array of water magics to quickly dispatch any prey that gets within reach.
Hopefully, the MarshGlimmer will be ready for next week along with a swath of marsh where I can house it. It will be coming along with a new type of mana crystal node as well - pink, in case that wasn't clear. The node itself will grant both mana crystals and clay.
Well, that's all I have. I must say that it was nice to actually do a blog with content again.
Until next time,
