What’s new since the last demo?<\/h3>\n

You have to know the demo quests are more or less final at the moment. The next official demos (including this one) will only provide bug fixes and graphics\/sound\/music enhancement. I now focus my work on adding levels and quests for the final release, which won’t be visible in this demo (especially new content).<\/p>\n

The main new things I’ve done since December are:<\/p>\n

Content<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 3 new levels: Desert pagoda, Aqualums counsellor villa, Water Dojo, and a prototype for the slingshot Dojo.<\/li>\n

        <\/h3>\n

        Controls<\/h3>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
