Programmer
Little Blackbird Studio has officially hired a programmer for A Crooked Heart.
I’m hiring on an as need basis. One of the first things he’s going to knock out is the Save/Load system. It seems like a no brainer that I should’ve had one. But I don’t know how to create it and the templates I found/purchased online where either confusing or limited.
New level elements
I’m working on the first of eleven levels after the boss fight that takes place above ground. I’m using the same rocks as in the beginning that were full of color.
