Mid November Update: Street, Apartments Rifle
A new build is live on Steam, for Windows and Linux!
This build includes new content - the street is now explorable content, leading to an apartment block. I'll be continuing this content in future updates.
There's a new Sokol guard in town with more armor, and a different weapon!
The rifle is now a playable weapon in Estranged: Act II! This can be found in the street level, and is also used by the new guard type.
I have re-written the save system to make it more robust. There should be no notable change to the game itself, but under the hood each item in the game now has a unique ID to identify it.
The previous system used the names of the items, but because items can move between levels, name collisions could occur. To combat this, I introduced a tag to the item to describe the level that the item came from - but this system was far from perfect and often resulted in incorrect items being restored. This should no longer happen!

As ever, please let me know what you think! I'm around at alan [at] alanedwardes (dot) com, or on discord.gg/estranged.
Thank you for playing Estranged!
