With the release of build 0.4.0 it's time to discuss what's next. I think I have the initial 'bones' of the game complete that I originally designed but now it's time to do some janitorial work.
Build 0.5.0 will bring lots of sprite cleanup and in a lot of areas, complete redesign of some levels.
I want to bring this game back to looking more like an NES game but I found I'm using some styles that are more SNES than NES like I originally envisioned.
Lab level changes for example:

Redesign:

Using a proper NES color palette cleans up the level nicely.
I'll also be redesigning the exercise level that harkens back the DK Jr. Math exercise level:

While all this cleanup is going on I'll also be working on the Online PvP mode, outside of Steam Remote Play. Depending on how that goes I hope that will be ready by 0.6.0. I want to stick to focusing on cleaning up some areas in 0.5.0 first.
More to come, thanks for playing.
