Elven Curse 0.1.3n Update: Menu Addition (Patreon)

A menu has been added to the game.  When you start the game and when you pause the game, now done by pressing the Escape key, you'll be able to access some options.  

You can toggle the game between windowed and fullscreen mode through this menu.  

The control option will bring up a display of the keys needed to play the game.  

The sound option is disable at the moment.  Ran into some issues with that one.

You can Save and Load your game but the feature isn't fully realized just yet.

Does saving work?  Yes, but no.  Currently it will save your characters location and health.  Various quest progress won't be saved and there are some issues regarding effects(specifically the darkness effects) that may persist when you reload.

In the future I'd like to change this into a save point system.  So you'll only be able to save in certain areas.  It will make it easier to make sure there aren't any unwanted persistent effects going on.

The gallery option is working in a rough state as well.  There are only five available for viewing at this point but the end goal will be to have all scenes, animated and non, available for viewing.  I'll also be looking into having a method of unlocking them through gameplay.

Lastly you'll be able to close the game through this menu as well.

Thanks again for your support this month.  Had some issues getting things sorted out with the menu but overall I think I got most of it handled.  But i'll have to do some refining and solve some more issues going forward with it before it's a total success.  

Voting will begin tomorrow for our next animation.
