Evening patrons!

In this month's Demon Tale, I've finally begun putting together the save feature. No more hard resets when you die. It instead, kicks you back to the opening where you can choose to either load your game or start a new one. Right now, game saves whenever you go through the menu and choose "Exit Area". Also, when starting the game, you can both skip past the opening movie and start the game with either the space bar or the A button on a joystick. If you choose load game, you can skip past the opening where they're walking into the castle, even if you've got no save data.

The save mechanic is not complete just yet, but will probably be by next update. Certain event states, as well as the state of your allies are not saved currently.

The cave area is implemented and torches should have a use now.

In response to some concerns I've heard over the difficulty, I believe I've figured out something integral. In prior builds, enemies and especially chompers were able to land hits on you if their attack box connected with your own, which I'm sure was the cause of much frustration for some of you. With this now rectified, the game should become much easier. Also, to temper the difficulty, I made stamina loss more forgiving, and increased the players attack range by a bit.

I've also added another spell to the game. Can you find it? It's pretty easy to get. =)

Files have been sent out. If you missed them this month, you can catch them again next month.
