Sorry I'm putting this out so late, but I'm going to be discussing some changes to the games design.

1. New mechanic - In screenshots I've posted on my Twitter, there is a potion counter in the corner.  This was going to be a mechanic where you could restore all your MP by pressing the left bumper, but you only had three uses for the whole game.  However, I felt that it didn't really matter too much because you could get to full MP quickly enough by just shooting this with the feathers.  So instead, I'll be tapping into the games STG roots by replacing the potions with screen clearing bombs.  These will act as a panic button for the player when they are in tight spots that can't be conquered without taking damage.  I haven't put it in the game yet, but I'm getting on that like yesterday.

2. Difficulty/Structure - Originally, the game featured a branching path structure, but after much thought, it didn't really fit the game very well, and was proving difficult to come up with ways to have the player branch out.  So instead, I decided to change the games structure.  You have 3 difficulty levels, and each one has it's own story, levels, and enemies.  So one must master the game in order to see everything the game has.  And of course, to fight the true final boss and get the best ending, you must be at max level.  This is the games equivalent of a 1CC run in any other shooter.  

3. Cutscenes - Originally, the games story bits had illustrations along with text telling the story, however, I thought I would change them to animatics to make them more interesting.  I'm excited to see how it turns out.

4. MUSIC!  SWEET, SWEET MUSIC! - Yes!  Thanks to my friend PenCameraMouse Productions, Abra The Last Witch: Rebirth has original music now.  Not all of it will be original, but I hope ya'll like the music you hear in the game, it's good.

That's a lot, but I'm determined to get this stuff into the game, and there will be a trailer coming some time in the next 2 months.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day.  Keep your flame strong!
