Guild of Peculiars - Alpha 0.04

This is the first Guild of Peculiars devlog post!

If you are a fan of the classic Dungeon Crawler games of the early 90's, than you won't want to miss out on this project! Come join me as we develop one of the most immersive games of the genre in this new era.

If you are first hearing about this project now, Guild of Peculiars is a first person, 4 party member, dungeon crawler, 90 degree, grid-based, roll-playing game... phew! Quite the mouthful. Guild of Peculiars is being developed exclusively for Windows.

I would like to make consistent devlogs about the progress of this game, not only to just share the process with you guys, but also as a way for me to keep track of the change log and get some feedback from you all. I am open to ideas, concepts and criticism.

So here we go! What has changed since the start of this project?
