A little bit of lore and Nyanners Dreamheart 0.0.2 update

Hello everyone. The past months I kept working on the game, adding new content.  Today I released a new version of the game that contains the first iteration of a dream firewall. What is a dream firewall ? Well...let's start from the beginning.

In the 23rd century, Crushie, a cat that was once a human, saved Nyanners's (Taylor's) life. He infiltrated into a resurrection facility that was about to be destroyed, beat the mechanical beasts, resurrected Taylor by transfering her soul into her original body and took her away. After some time, Taylor woke up. Unfortunately, she encountered the daughter of a witch queen, Princess Rensynna. Rensynna entered Nyanners's mind and broke it into multiple shards. Hearing about what happened to Taylor, Crushie knew that there could be only one way to save Nyanners - Inside of a huge building called The Tower of Dreams, there was a machine built by an ancient civilization. This machine allowed people to transfer knowledge from one to each other through the help of dreams. Besides this, it could also repair shattered memories and broken minds by inducing dreams to the people inside. Crushie took the unconscious Nyanners and brought her to the Tower of Dreams, in order to save her. The Nyanners's experiences, as well as her memories from the past mixed with the dreams will be a major part of gameplay.

Now...what the Tower of Dreams's machine does to someone's mind. It first tries to generate a place called ,,The Metadream''. This dream will be normally in complete control of the dreamer, giving him a feeling of safety like a home could give you. It is like some sort of safe area, from where you could go out and explore other dreams, one more wild than another. The Metadream can take various forms, and evolve based on what memories Taylor recovers. It generally takes shapes of places from Nyanners's previous life, because the memories of these places make her feel more comfortable and safe.

In order to leave the Metadream, Taylor needs to be prepared, so the machine generates some minigames for her, in order to train her. These minigames are called "Dream Firewalls", because they protect someone from entering a dream unprepared.

In the dream firewall, Taylor could traverse the generated environments using several catgirl techniques. Because she is a Taylor catgirl, Taylor is able to split her tail in 3 tails: Tailie, Tailora and Tailorui. Each tail has its own use.

In this version of the game, I implemented her first tail : Tailie

Tailie - works like a grappling hook. Press LMB, and Tailie will drag Nyanners towards the target.

In this version of the game, I also added some new environments:

1. By pressing 7, you could also explore a small portion of the city around the Tower of Dreams

2. By pressing 8, you could play a work in progress portion of the dream firewall. It is still in the prototyping phase, but I hope that you will have fun. Maybe in the future I could turn this section into a musical rhythm game.

3. By pressing 9, you could play as Crushie, and fight mechanical beasts by throwing metal cubes at them. Unfortunately, in this build, you can't save Nyanners yet from inside the facility, but you will be able to experience a mini boss battle with the Shilkworm . 

4. By pressing 6 in the levels with Taylor as playable character, you can return to the Metadream (her appartment).

I will keep working on the game. The current focus is on programming the base mechanics, then working on the story. I have several scripts written for it. 

I hope that you will enjoy this update. Thank you for following this game. Also, please check out the section "Help Nyanners", to see how you can help her. She is an amazing person, and needs support in order to share happiness to people.
