Update v.28 release!

Heyo everyone. As promised, today is the release for v.28 of Crisis Point! Unfortunately there's no new sexual content this update, but that doesn't mean it's a small update. I'm pretty tired right now so I'm going to keep this overall post pretty brief, but let's look at the changes, shall we?

UPDATE V.28 CHANGES
-Continue The Great Rework™
-Intro sequence added
-Improve the first boss battle (slightly)
-Continue redesigning old levels with new, more interesting challenges and hazards
-Finish replacing the royalty free music
-Rework some of Alicia's animations with better proportions and details
-Add in Boom Shot bullet chip
-New functionality added to the Wire Shot to make it more exciting
-Fix more minor issues

One thing of particular note is the "slightly" part of the first boss. The original goal was to rework both the first AND second boss battles; that ended up being too much, so I moved it down to reworking the first boss. The problem was, I was struggling to find ways to make him more interesting to fight early on - Alicia's moveset is pretty limited when you encounter, so I was having trouble coming up with new ideas that complimented the gameplay. Near the end of v.28 development, I decided to scrap most of what I had done with his rework, because I got a much better idea - unfortunately that lead to his rework not being all that extravagant (he has two new moves that make it harder to find "safe spots" in the arena, so you have to stay mobile), but in the next update it should be much more impressive. If you guys want I can detail what my plans are for him, but otherwise I'll keep it under wraps so it can be a surprise.

That's the only major thing worth noting in these patch notes, so let's move on to our v.29 goals.

UPDATE v.29 GOALS

-Continue The Great Rework™
-Implement save system
-Implement basic gallery system
-Improve the 2nd boss battle
-Finish retiling and redesigning Summit area
-Implement Charge Shot secondary chip
-Prepare for new public demo release
-Fix more minor issues

Most of these speak for themselves, but the two MAJOR things that everyone has been clamoring for since the beginning of time immemorial are a real, honest-to-god save system, and a gallery system. For now, the gallery system will probably be purely menu-based, only accessible from the main menu, and have everything unlocked from the beginning - we'll see if I can get it fully functional along with the save system, but for now let's assume it'll be pretty simple.

As for the save system, fair warning right now that I will NOT be officially supporting save data transfer between versions - it's certainly possible that save data will work fine between different game versions, but there are too many variables that could potentially lead to weird problems there, so if you run into any problems with it in the future that's probably why.

Alright, that's enough out of me for now. My focus in the immediate future will be getting that gallery created for the new $5 tier, and as soon as that's done we'll get cracking on v.29 proper. Thank you, as always, for the support that all of you give me - I wouldn't be here without all of you.
