​Postjam Update 1!


I accidentally worked on this a bunch over the past two days when I meant to be doing other things! I had intended to just fix some bugs but oops I added a bunch of items! No new enemies (yet) but I still hope to add the whole retinue of uppercase letters at some point. Alas, I have much work to do elsewhere so I fear my time spent on Atgtha may be sporadic at best.

Also! Since there seems to have been moderate-to-significant interest in how I made the game so juicy and jiggly and whatnot, I figured I'd dedicate one of my dev-streams to talking about how to juice up ya game in GMS2 (and possibly also relevant to other tools??)!
