Hero Soul: Dev Log 1

Hello! First off, I want to thank you for your interest in my little project! It's been about 2 months since I started developing my game, and to be honest I am kind of surprise at how far I've gotten. With that being said, I am happy to say that I will now start posting here weekly with my progress in game. To kick off my logs I guess I'll quickly go over what has been done, and what I am planning to do in the future.

There are a few big milestones I have achieved these last 2 months.

I think that just about covers all the major things that have been done for the game, there were many minor things but just for the sake of my sanity, I did not post it. Well, that about covers what I have done so far. Tune in next week for more game updates! I will try to post more videos and images of the game, cause admittedly it's pretty bare around this blog. Have a nice week :]
