AZRAEL - Alpha Build Now Public

Hello! I have made this Alpha build demo of AZRAEL from April 2024 public. My original plan was to keep this demo private and then release a much more polished demo of a finalized Level 1 (including the first boss fight) sometime from September to December in 2024. As you can tell, this didn't happen.

So then why am I publishing this alpha build now? Well at this point I'm not entirely sure when the next update will be or if I will be even finishing this at all. Of course, I hate the thought of possibly cancelling this project, even if what is here doesn't seem that significant, I've poured quite a lot of time and effort into this and I'm super proud of what I've managed to create. However I've also been struggling to make much progress on this in the last year  when before I was certain I would be close to finishing it by now, (Not that no progress has been made, if you saw the game in Matt Hughson's Homebrew Games Summer Showcase 2024, there are some noticeable improvements there compared to this demo) so I'm considering putting it on the back burner and focusing on different projects first.

That's not to say I'm definitively cancelling this or anything, I'm just uncertain at this point in time. I've kinda published this alpha build on a whim, maybe hearing positive feedback will give me some much needed encouragement to keep working on it. Otherwise, I want to at least want people to be able to experience what I've already created in case it never becomes finished.
