As for work on the game SMP has been overhauling the code so it is essentially an engine for the game we are building and improving existing mechanics (basically the ones i made are janky cause im still a noob hahah).

I've been working on going through and touching up all of the existing sprites and fixing up things that people have mentioned are needed. 

All of these updates/improvements will go live in the alpha build first (during Kickstarter for backers) and then i will got through and add the new sprites to the demo.

I am currently working on a Roadmap for development after the kickstarter, which will mainly focus on more levels and voice acting.
