Slowly but surely the game is being updated in order to have it out by the end of this year. Here's what's new:

• Fygoon's player model has been updated because the old one was a pain to animate with; as cutscenes are now being made, it was necessary to update his model to expedite the process
• Fygoon's model now features a scabbard that changes depending on the most powerful sword in the player's inventory; for instance, if the player has the Xzen-Akaias and the Iron Sword, Fygoon's model will have the Xzen-Akaias on his hip
• Instead of a raycasting system, the combat system in The Frydarian Tale now uses a collider system inspired by a specific computer game adaptation of a Victorian-era literary classic, allowing players to have a greater range of motion when attacking with a sword; likewise, enemies have been updated to use and react to this combat system
• Players can now rejoice as, after a year of asking, I have added more than one checkpoint in a level, with the game now remembering things like the items obtained and what things in the world have been activated
• All of the Bulldog models have similarly been updated and new animations have been made
• The general enemy AI has been improved greatly, as all creatures will no longer run head-first into a wall and will actually determine if a path to the player can be made before attacking; likewise, if the player is able to reach a place where a creature cannot get you, the player will be heckled before the enemy returns to patrolling
• Drillzor AI has been updated to make them a little less bad
• Brutus Canor's AI has been updated to now look at the player and act a little less stupid
• Cutscenes with subtitles are finally being implemented, with the game now beginning with one in The Iron Ghetto
• Players can now inspect objects such as lamps and locked doors; this will help greatly with players who are lost

Things left to do:

• Hold my friends hostage to finally get the voice lines
• Finish the cutscenes
• Finish this game
