I overpromised a lot for the Crimson demo. Which is why I'm pulling a Minecraft Caves & Cliffs and releasing it in two parts.

Part 1 is AVAILABLE NOW!! Here is the glorious changelog:

• Overhauled tile set
• Options menu
• Control tutorials if you go idle in the prologue level
• Rewrote a lot of backend input code and installed a new API to allow for rebindable controls (which will be available in the options menu in part 2 of this update)
• Sunset Street 1 (level design subject to major changes)
• New enemies
• Crates
• Particles, VFX, and SFX
• Slamming (try combining it with dashing!)
• Removal of the paint bucket system
• Addition of overhead clouds on the world map
• Wall jumping (no animation for it yet!)
• New text box design and SFX
• New game icon
• Scene transitions
• Discord rich presence
• Cutscenes save to memory (i.e. unimportant scenes you've already viewed won't display again when replaying the level)
• Dashing can be done with any color equipped after red is unlocked
• Red has a "flamethrower" attack tied to it now! The way it looks and lack of sound for it is temporary.
• Reduce palette size from 8 to 4 colors.
• Palette quick-select has been changed from NumPad to WASD due to the reduction in palette colors.
• The boss fight in the prologue has seen some changes, namely with the speed of the spray can spike.

Part 2's release window is still TBD.

A feedback survey will be created in the next week or so to gather playtester feedback. I care about what each one of you has to say!
