CHANGELOG v0.4:

This is the release version, and represents the final snapshot of our game - Zentera. While it’s not feature-complete or fully polished, it gives you a  good  look at the intended player experience, with almost all mechanics, animations, models, SFX, VFX etc. implemented.

version 0.4 brings the final layer of polish to the 8-week voxel custom-engine student project. Included here are a few bugfixes, additional animations, collectibles, a home screen in the menu, as well as Gori's lover, Sora - and the many gems you will collect for her!

We hope you enjoy the release version of Zentera!
All feedback is still welcome and much appreciated! Post a comment on the Itch.io page with your experience (good or bad!)
