Take note, this is not, I repeat, NOT Milestone 1. Rather, this is a pre-Milestone 1 release of Hexoshi. Consider it like a sort of Milestone 0.9, if you will.

Because of how long the wait has been, I have decided that I should make an "early" release, sort of a pre-release before the actual Milestone 1 release is ready. It can be found on the Download page of the Hexoshi website:

So, what is missing from version 0.1, which precludes it from being the Milestone 1 release? Not all that much, actually; I’m just waiting on Luke’s graphics for the most part. The following are missing:

1. The scorpion enemy, which is supposed to be found in a couple of the Iridia rooms.
2. The hedgehog enemy, which is supposed to be a recurring Iridia enemy, scattered around the area.
3. Rock-like slope tiles; currently, "corner" pieces have to be used, which are ugly and make it unclear that they are slopes.

And really, that’s it! Everything else is there, including the lowest ranked Mantanoids, which will be the primary antagonists of Hexoshi as development goes ahead. So while this release is not quite up to par when it comes to the goals of Milestone 1, I hope those of you who backed this project and have been patiently waiting for a release enjoy this "early" one while you wait for Milestone 1… and what lies beyond!
