NEW FEATURES!

Hey everyone! I know it's been a LONG time since you've heard any updates, but don't worry, work has never stopped on the game! I'm not really sure what people want to hear in these Devlog Updates and it was starting to feel repetitive. I feel like there are only so many new screenshots I can reveal and actual development updates just feel like me saying "Yep, I did more work on the game this month... fixing bugs, coding levels, polishing the graphics, etc..." These updates are for you, so if there are specific things you want me to share, please let me know! 

Something new that I can reveal is that additional features are finally implemented in the game including unlockable Skins for Earl and the ability to find Animal Friends in the world.
​ 

Unlockable Skins!

There are currently 8 alternative skins available to unlock in the game.  These can be purchased in game with the money you earn by finding treasure. Change the look of Earl to suit your mood or adventuring style!  This in addition to Shovel and Bomb upgrades will let you become the ultimate Tomb Robber!  And since the game is still in development, I can always add more Skins before release, so if you have any good ideas be sure to leave me a comment!

Animal Friends

Also newly implemented are hidden animal friends you can find in the environments!
While adventuring, you can find a number of animals that may need your help. Discovering them and lending a helping hand will earn their gratitude. While there is no gameplay advantage to doing this, it is a big part of Earl's character.  
While out walking my dog one day, I realized just how much I stop and say hello to the wild animals I see. Birds, squirrels, lizards, whatever... I always have time to stop and talk to the animals. I'm sure people think I'm crazy when they see me having a conversation with a stray possum, but that's just who I am. And since Earl's personal/mental journey is based on my own, I realized I couldn't have a game where you couldn't befriend animals!
