Update & News concerning Elypse development.

Hey there,

So we figured that it could be interesting to keep you posted about where we are at concerning Elypse development.

Every feature of the game are complete and we are now working on polishing the game and optimizing it. As performance was an issue on the demo.

Among the many polishes we are doing to Elypse, we are working on some features that have been reported by you, players.

We tweaked the jump to have a better fit to the gamefeel and feedbacks, and last but not least we are implementing a camera panning for release.

Other than that we are starting to talk about release with our publishers.
We will, of course, keep you posted.

Cheers everyone!
