Appologies again for the slow upload rate! School taking up a bunch of my time, but I'm in the process of adding the new level to the map for proper play testing! But in doing so i've run into a few odd bugs that need to be squashed

Got as much bugfixing done today as I could. Enemies no longer bog things down as much! Still gotta clean up some bloat though.

testing out an outline for Rem to make her a bit more visible during combat. Though the brighter colors tend to be a bit distracting. I'm struggling to find something functional that still looks good. lmk if you've got any suggestions!

Making progress! I need to tweak the bloodstone drop rate and do a few entity reworks as they currently muddle things up visualy during combat.
