It's been a while since the last update to the project on this page, but this is a big one! This update marks the completion of many of the core features of Kudzu's primary gameplay and constitutes the game's "vertical slice". This includes:

• Numerous gameplay adjustments. 
• New health system - collect Kudzu Jelly to store as health potions to be used whenever you want. 
• Enemies drop items - mushrooms to buy things and Kudzu Jelly.
• New introduction and story cutscenes
• Town environment with NPCs, tutorial library, and mini-quests
• A shop
• New title screen and scene transitions
• A boss battle - the Kudzu Bug Queen! (Note: this is built in GB Studio 2.0 Beta 4, so a lot of wrangling had to happen to make a large character. Some players may experience glitches where the sprites that make up the boss move independently - this will be fixed when the game is updated for GB Studio 3.0.)
• New rooms in the Kudzu Field area
• GOATS!

That's all for now. We will hopefully have some other exciting news coming up in the near future, so stay tuned!
