Beta Branch Update v1.3.6
With the holidays approaching this will probably be the last update of the year unless I find any more bugs with the MonoGame beta branch. Once I've had a chance to do a full play through of the beta version I will go ahead and make it the main branch.
We have a lot planned for next year, but Counter Spell is still a hobby for both Hugin and I so we can only work on it in our free time. Hugin has been busy with some real life concerns so he has had limited time to work on Counter Spell these last few months.
Here are some of the things we have planned for next year:
-All new fully customizable male and female character models
-Unique outfits for each class
-Additional updates and finalizing of the new skill tree system including new abilities and gameplay systems
-A new dungeon utilizing the random generator that features new assets, a unique story, and multiple boss fights
We are very excited to see these new systems come to life and can't wait to see what the future of Counter Spell brings!
