Hope everyone has a happy holiday this winter, maybe some of you will pick up some really cool games or play ones currently in your library! (hint hint :P)

Gemstone Keeper has been updated to Version 1.0.4, the changes made are as follows:

• VFrame Engine Update: The underlying engine of Gemstone Keeper had been updated during the development of a new project. Some changes are optimisations but there have been more additional functionality for graphics and tilemaps.
• Weapons and Bullets Added: Specifically, a gun that will shoot in all directions, big bullets and shrinking bullets. The count of both gun and bullet types is now seven, meaning there are now a total of 49 weapon types!
• Transitions Between Levels: This was a fun addition since I want more excuse to work on visual effects.

If you wish to continue playing Gemstone Keeper as the previous version (1.0.3), you can set the game go to Properties -> Betas and opt into Legacy.
