Developer Notes - First Demo Release

Welcome to the first demo release of Manipulus! I’m excited to share the current state of the game with you, but please note that some features are still in progress.

Demo Status: This is the very first iteration of the game, and while there’s much more to come, I believe this demo gives you a full taste of what Manipulus will become.

Voice Acting: I’m working hard on adding full voice acting to the game. This is still a work in progress, but expect a more immersive experience in future updates.

Content: The first map is complete, and there’s enough content for multiple runs. Several mysteries and secrets are hidden within the demo, waiting for you to discover.

Music: I’m still working on the music for the game, so expect improvements in future versions.

Most Recent Features:

Randomized Shop: The shop's inventory is randomized, adding replayability to your runs.

Secret Story Events: There are working secret story events you can stumble upon.

Character Selection: The character selection screen is up and running, offering choices as you start your journey.

Upcoming Phases: You can expect at least two more major phases before the full release.

Story Progression: The overarching story is fully understood but will only be fully experienced in the final version of the game.

Save System: Currently, there is no save system in place for the demo, but rest assured, this will be added in the full game.
