So I've gone ahead and added a Settings menu to the game now, which you can use to control both the Music volume, and Sound Effects!
Not only that, but you can choose between a few different 16:9 resolutions.
You can also still set the game to Fullscreen by hitting alt+enter on the keyboard to toggle between Fullscreen and Windowed mode.
I've also improved various menu navigation logic in hopes of taking care of a strange bug that we found mostly on computers using Windows 7 while also using a wireless Xbox 360 controller.
It's still being refine however, as it can sometimes bit a bit touchy, or even seem to "skip" ahead a tad.
While the game will save the set resolution, it currently doesn't show it as saved on the Settings menu. It's a very small bug, that is only cosmetic, and won't affect its display in any way.
As always, if you notice any new bugs with the menu, please feel free to let me know so I can get them fixed promptly!

Settings Menu Incoming!
Alright, I'm going to stop avoiding the headache that will most likely be the Settings menu, and get it done for everyone!
Within the settings menu you'll be able to pick your resolution, and adjust the sound/sound effects within the game!
I anticipate a few bugs when it comes to resolutions and scaling issues. but hopefully having them in place will help narrow things down a bit as people find things, so we can get it working well, and quickly!
Another Dev Stream at 10am and then a Twitch event at noon!
So today, I will be doing the usual dev stream for Sword 'N' Board from 10am PST(in less than an hour of this post) until noon! So the usual 2 hour dev stream on Twitch!
At noon, I will be doing the TinyBuild Dungelot 100 floor challenge!! This is huge, because for every 5 floors of the game that I complete, the game will send a steam key to my twitch chat!
So for those of you that would like a chance to get a copy of Dungelot, feel free to come hang out at my stream at noon! You'll have to be fast to grab it before someone else does!
You can find my stream here: www.twitch.tv/stuffedcastle
Hope to see you all there! Even if you only come for the keys ;)
Daily development Streams Mon - Friday at 10am PST!
For those of you just now getting the game because of IndieGala, I wanted to make sure you all knew that I do daily dev streams for Sword 'N' Board over on Twitch Monday - Friday at 10am PST until about noon!
You can find the stream here: www.twitch.tv/stuffedcastle
First priority is getting Dungeons into the game, so you can really start to experience the game's progression so that's what the streams are currently focusing on. I've been animating the first Dungeon Boss for the last few streams, so feel free to check out the highlights on the stream there!
Also, if you have the game open when I'm streaming there is a Twitch notification on the start menu of the game, which you can click on that will bring you directly to the stream.
So feel free to come by there, give feedback and just hang out!
Boss Animations start today at 10am PST!
Hey everyone!
Today at 10am PST, I'll be starting on the boss for the first Dungeon for Sword 'N' Board live on Twitch!
So if you want to come by and hang out, ask questions, or give feedback please come hang out! I'd love to see everyone there.

Happy Monday! (Kill me)

Going live at 10am with another dev stream!
I'll be working more on Dungeon assets, and maybe I'll also let you in on the secrets that I put into the game, that I somewhat mentioned in the last update!
A new build is live, and you will now have access to the Cardboard Sword + Bomb combo ability!
What this new ability will allow you to do:
Jump over/through some objects and help traverse terrain!
Freeze enemies briefly (only when Sidd is in mid-air).
Creates a powerful 8 point explosion around Sidd!
Can be used to set terrain on fire, causing other nearby enemies to take damage from the resulting flames!
There is also something hidden in the game, but there are some strings attached to finding them! They may not be the type of secrets that you all are used to, but I know you all have the keys to find them!
I may be less cryptic later on... maybe even on stream tomorrow!
New Combo Ability live on stream!
Today, I'll be showing off a new ability for Sidd, and working on some Dungeon assets for the game! Want to come be heard, give feedback, or suggest something YOU would like to see in the Dungeon? Then come hang out!
