Izzy's health just came more alive with some very nifty animation. This will help the player see what is happening with ease, and it looks real nice as well.



Say what? You'd like to collect not only health, but other stuff as well?
Good news! We are fans of stuff, and we have made a nice animation for when Izzy collects other useful and interesting items.



Dreamcast
Dreamcast specific improvements have also been made. As you may know, Intrepid Izzy's graphics are made in high resolution and then automatically scaled to a lower resolution when generating the Dreamcast version. Some optimisations have been made to improve colour palette generation and selective dithering to reduce banding. This sound a bit technical, but you can clearly see the difference in the examples below. Especially in the zoomed in pictures.









Other improvements

• We've redesigned part of the Aztec Greece level where you collect the squirrel suit to improve the flow. The chances of getting lost are greatly reduced
  
• ± 40 bug fixes and usability improvements
  
• Added sound effects when you open a door. We made the sound effect ourselves by dragging two pavement tiles over each other
  
• Added sound effects when Izzy is pushing blocks or crates
  
• A brand new music track has been composed for the level that we're keeping a secret. (You didn't hear this from us)
