The release for A Crooked Heart is still set for Mid 2023. Even with these updates, you're still playing an Early Access build of the game.
Purchasing the current release will give you the game at no extra cost. Plus you'll be able to follow the progress and have access to new, playable updates along the way.
A Crooked Heart
A Crooked Heart is a traditionally animated, action and puzzle packed, side scrolling adventure game. Our heroes, Lulu and Orion, are two small but brave Corgis fighting to protect the gentle Arothians from the world devouring Ravan. After Orion is captured, Lulu sets out on a mission to save her love, free the Arothians, and to destroy the menacing Ravan, once and for all.
This is the UI that'll pop up when you press pause. It's important for me to place clues and information in the game that is part of the environment. This keeps me from inserting those pesky tutorials.

Push/Pull crate example.
By using the contrast of black and white backgrounds, it gives me the chance to direct the players eye with either light or a small bit of color. This could be a button, highlight to show a hole or switch.
In this image, there'll be a crate on the lower right just slightly covering the green button. The player has to push the button to open the hatch. She'll pull the crate, press the button and the light comes down.
I have about 7 rooms in varying sizes and purpose that I build each scene off of. Every room uses one-point perspective.
