HM4 prototype 5 released

Hi everyone,

This new update is small, but important.

The startup system was completely rebuilt. It looks better, provides better feedback, and starts up faster.

Many new gameplay mechanics have been added. Unfortunately, they have not - and will not - be integrated into the first floor (the only current level). Thus they cannot be seen until later.

Many small changes have been made throughout. The overall quality has improved slightly, and will continue to do so in the future.

Work has begun on adding floors to the tower. The blocks have been completed for the first 10 floors, but they cannot be seen at the moment.

Overall, this is by far the worst week as far as progress goes. I've been busy with life, and had to expend a lot of effort outside this project. Additionally, I'm suffering project burnout, but I'll push through.

The next two weeks should both be extremely important. My goal is to have a demo out by next week with 4 playable floors in the tower. The week after, there will be 10 floors. I will attempt to sell this version of the game.

I think I'm getting better at writing these things.

Thanks for reading.

Matthew
