Notes:
Pokemon Descent was made for Relic Castle's 6th Game Jam. There were some bugs initially, but they should all be fixed with the v1.3 update.
This was my first time making a game, and I learned so much! I ran into several problems over the course of this game's development, but I was able to eventually figure out solutions or "work-arounds" for most of them myself - which was super satisfying! For the other issues, the wiki and threads from other people having the same problem helped me solve them.
