Oh hey there little guy -- you look familiar!

You wouldn't happen to have met a bunch of tough-looking folks in blue vests, would you? One of 'em's got red hair, goes by "Allie"?

I think one of my goals for Acronia (which will be 640x360 vs. Enigma Heart's 427x240) is to not break the pixel grid at all.

For EH, I use high-res art in certain places, like Zalia's portrait on the main menu (because wow factor), or controller icons (because I have two pixel fonts in the game and I don't feel like maintaining two sets of icons so the sizes match).

It looks good, I like it, I don't regret it. But it's gonna be a no-no for Acronia.

Clarissa's still playtesting, but we think version 0.7 of #Acronia will be ready by Friday!

It'll go up for our #Patreon supporters first (https://patreon.com/hadrosoft), and a week later we'll put it up on our itch page at https://hadrosoft.itch.io/acronia!

This one's a big milestone, because for the first time, all five playable characters are finished and implemented! Along with two new enemies since the last demo, it's a pretty fresh experience.
