The game is coming along fine, but I'm taking a break from working on it for a much bigger, better project. So big and important, there's no time to show off screenshots!
Few things to note:
· The engine is coming along fine. Most of the movement kinks have been ironed out. Only thing presenting a problem at the moment involves landing while moving forward (but not holding a key down); The intended slide mechanism isn't working at all, though it should be a simple fix.
· Some of the features aren't working 100% on their own, but they do work when forcefully set via my uber secret debug commands.
· Artwork is coming along much better. Hopefully by next update I'll be able to show off the test level with more than a bunch of white boundary lines, and the new character sprite.
· I've reverse engineered quite a bit of my engine. Level designs will be able to be made with precision followed by minor tweaks, instead of roughed out and honed through trial and error.
· I haven't been able to fix my printer problem. I don't want to waste the resources to make it work like I it to, so I'll probably have to make some compromises in order to get the result I want.
· Music and sound is sounding good. I've grown too attached to the placeholder music, but it needs to be replaced. Sounds are likely to stay.

I'm there during my waking hours, as "aphant". Just ask your question either prefaced by my nickname or as part of it, or just say "alpha zero". I may not respond immediately, but I will see it.
