    One of the most numerous monsters in the world you find yourself in. While the weakest physically, they more than make up for it in numbers and a general disregard for their...

Dev Journal: Mod Loading Finished!

    As soon as I started to add modding to the game, I ran into a problem. VT uses a lot of mid-sized textures to render its characters, and in order to ensure no visual glitche...
