**Update: Effects and Update on what we have been up to!
Hey sorry about the no update last week. We were busy at Florida Supercon showcasing Wasabi Horizon. We had the two levels: Boss Level and Enemy Horde Level. Everyone loved the demos. A lot of work was done on the spot by to fix the demos up while taking feed back from players. Tons of live development happened. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. We will be posting about it and with tons of pictures on our site some time in the near future. **
Our approach for Development in the next coming months will be very aggressive and start prototyping the rest of the game, tackling a town, dungeon, and boss every month, then going back to finalize. Before we get started on that, there is some planning and fixing up of our game file to be done. One of the major things that need fixing is the use of tilemaps and paper2d. While we are still using paper 2d for sprites and animations, we are moving away from tile maps for floors and other walls and collision boxes. Tile maps have been having memory leaks and odd collision for a long time now. From now on, we are going to test with having 3d blocks as our floors, putting the 2d sprites on top of it, or making the sprite into a material which we tested with the boss room. For other things in the world, they will probably still use sprites. Though we will still have our original problem of getting Wasabi to hide behind objects. We have also reworked the way collision works, mainly for Wasabi’s attacks, and that is still being worked on. Will probably have a better update next week about it.

A new screen that was used for the Demo as well as a few of effects we have been putting together for testing.**
