Version 0.3.3a

To show I'm still working on this, albeit slowly, here is a small update.  Don't dispair!  I won't let this project die, and in the unlikely even that I do I'll update this blog to show it, release the game in the state that it would be in, and probably release the source.  In the meantime, if you'd like to see if come out quicker, any encouragement would inspire me to work fast and update more frequently.  That usually entails me see more twitter followers, replies to my blog, or even a simple friendly e-mail to trueyomicdev at gmail dot com.  Thanks for all the support thus far!
