I have a much stronger idea for what the overall story of New Peaks is going to be. I've created a new intro cutscene and updated/added npc characters to support the new story. I've also just added a lot of stuff to add to the overall polish of the game.  Here is a list of all the updates I made:

• New character animations
• Updated level design
• Minor update to player movement script
• More NPCs/NPC interactions
• Updated UI/menus
• Hidden wall mechanic
• New music
• New environmental art/assets

I am still working on chapter 2. Because I added a lot of polish to the first chapter, it will probably take me longer to get chapter 2 to the same level of quality. I am hoping to have something to show for chapter 2 in 4ish months but we'll see. 

Anyway, I'm not really promoting or advertising my game at all so I doubt anyone will read this. But if you are here, thanks for checking out my game! I hope you like it! :)

P.P.S. looks like I forgot to publish the first dev log so it'll be at the same time as this one lol
