Here's a little look at the new design of the game. 

The background is darker, the player is brighter. 

I have implemented a new checkpoint system (the dangerous looking design of the checkpoints subject to change) and a first look in engine at this new build of the game.

And the new UI is visible and annotated on the picture.

More will come soon, but now I get to finishing chapter 1. I will release it alone as a demo when done. It shouldn't take that long.
