There was no word from me for a while, and I have a really big bunch of reasons for it. In short - I got broken trying to carry out my daily routine, which for some reasons was a couple responsibilities more than I could handle, and all I could do was dropping some of them off. For more than two months I could not properly work on the game. But now the crisis is solved, I'm more or less stable again and the development continues. Getting back to work was not easy, and I had to start with something less stressful than gameplay demo preparation. So I decided to finish the forest location, which previous state was never meant to be final, it was only "bearable". It took some time to draw all these rocks, sticks and plants. The fallen leaves and grass cover also required some struggling. Funny thing - as I'm no artist, my way of creating 2D location feels more like creating 3D one, I don't draw the background, I create and put the assets around. The result of all this you can see below. Though I said "finish", there still could be some minor fixes and changes, but mostly it's the final design of the forest location.
