Another version is up with some things polished up a bit. Mostly
new ui textures etc. Oh, and I did finally make it to the store to
purchase a Xbox 360 controller... finally.
You can get it from the downloads page.
Thanks and enjoy!

Another version is up. Improved visual effects and attacks.
- The multi target attack has been completely reworked.
- Added a freeze attack in place of the old lightning attack.
- Fixed up the font to have variable width text.
- Added scripted cameras on the intro.
- ...Some other junk that I can't remember right now.
Still haven't made it to the store to buy a controller, so the controller in the front end has not been fixed.
You can get it from the downloads page.
Thanks and enjoy!

Be sure to plug the controller in before starting the game.
Currently it's a little wonky in the menus, but that will be fixed
shortly.

I just completed my first milestone. latest progress on Caster.
With the completion of a milestone, I've decided to upload a new development version for review. You can get it from the downloads page. All the art and much of the game play is placeholder.
Controls are these:
- A,S,W,D or arrow keys to move (double tap a direction to start dashing)
- spacebar to jump (press again to double jump)
- press and hold the left mouse button to charge an attack and release to cast it
- right click to change attacks
Have fun and let me know what you think!
