SFX & Music Update

• I've created and uploaded two different sound effects for the witch spell in order to compare which we like best.
• I've managed to complete the music for the introduction cut scene.

Jackal SFX

I've uploaded the sound effects for our jackal enemy using free sounds. I've tweak them by lowering the tone to make it sound more intimidating.

SFX Update

• I've uploaded two sound effects the one for the one up and the health grab. I created these sound effects in fl studio using different plugins such as nexus. I've used some of the effects inside of fl studio to tweak the sounds so they sound original.

Cutscene 2

Still plugging away at these cutscenes.  Here is the one that will play in between levels 1 & 2.

Loading & Game Over Screen Updates

Intro Cutscene: Mae'o's Backstory

Drawing and writing this cutscene took much longer than anticipated and set me rather far behind schedule.  Although I have been keeping up with the animation and level extension portions, the rest of the cutscenes are pushed back.  With only a month left of production, it will be a major push to complete the remaining cutscenes, but it is certainly doable.
