Greetings & Salutations.

End of day four for me.
Today has gone really well, I am sure I will hit my deadline.
And I have done quite a bit according to TDL, But then a lot of those where small things like adding sounds and such.
I am planning to be 90% finished by end of tomorrow, That way I can spend Saturday and Sunday adding polish and finishing up the non essential things.

I am not sure if having events take place in a castle and a single (till the end) alien invader will cut it for the themes, So I am going to put some more thought into that.

For anyone who is interested; I Highly recommend ToDoList by Abstract Spoon

That forest run looks great, seeing how much you have done is shocking. Really like the style you are using for the levels.

Thanks, I am also liking the current style of level.
The secoond level I made still looks "boring" as it is basically a more realistic castle design with long corridors.
I have rebased the level style off DukeNukem and Commander Keen, And it seams to be working.

Alarge part of the progress is due using UE4(Unity probably gives the same benifit).
