Lost and 2D

**Lost and Two Dimensional**

On a typical winter's eve, you lay nestled in bed with your laptop,

catching up on the latest hit television series!

Your eyelids grow heavier with each blink…

Blink...Blink...Blink...

ZzzZZzzZ...

You awake to a clatter of hooves. "A clatter of hooves?" you think to yourself. "It's not Christmas Eve yet."

Dazed and confused, you rise to gain your bearings.

"Where the hell am I?" gazing into the distance. "Are those?" you pause, bewildered, "pixelated trees?"

"I'm dreaming, only dreaming." you tell yourself.

"You aren't dreaming..." a soft womanly voice soothes your worries. "You're lost." she reaffirmed.

"And two dimensional." you reply. "Fuck."

**Christmas 2015 Early Beta Now Available!**

The performance issues are more related to the Maps not displaying properly at 4K resolution. Maps are generally 60x60\. When we do the math, that's 32*60 = 1920\. When I've ran the game in any full-screen resolution any higher than 1920x1080, the maps end up with the black border around them which I just find visually unappealing, thus I limited the size to 1600x900 and lower. Just my own personal preference more than anything.

Seasons Greetings!

While I'm still working on this game quite frequently, you can read the following change notes:

Also, it is currently the festive season in Lost and 2D, you can now grab your Red and Green Jingle Tops from the Festive Vendor in Birchwood Village! Pants and Hats are forthcoming between now and Christmas!

Change Log:
1\. Players can now run (with full running animation) holding Shift to Run
2\. WASD movement enabled by default
3\. Melee unarmed combat now uses a separate punching animation (will likely get tweaked a bit to look better)
4\. A Solo and World Instance is now available (Birchwood Temple - Solo or Party Instance) and (WIntershire Mountain Mines - World Instance)
5\. Several more quests and maps available for play, pathways to other maps have been blocked off to preserve surprises!

Quick Gameplay Video (excuse the poorer quality)

@'Zetasis':

> Looking great Rob! I played for a little bit but couldn't see to get into the cave. I'm going to give it another go just as soon as I get some work done on my project.

If you're having an issue where you've already completed the "A Scholar's Knowledge" quest and you have the quest called "The Birchwood Temple" in your Quest Log, but the NPC is still blocking your path into the temple, let me know so I can fix the quest for you. (You likely turned it in while it was bugged)
