Chunk initialization has been redone. (This could cause some issues so please let me know if any occur). It should optimize some stuff as well as fix some stuff.
Ground now uses the Unity tileset, should add a bunch of optimization

Fire Flower added, spawns in deserts. Gives 5+ health as an accessory, stacks up to 3 for +15 health.

Update Notes for 0.9.5d - Dashing, Swords, & More
Although this update is a small version number change (0.9.5c -> 0.9.5d) it has a bunch of features included as well as bug fixes! Dash Ability Player dashing has been added to quickly get out of danger. As long as you have an item (or effect) that gives you the dash ability y
Although this update is a small version number change (0.9.5c -> 0.9.5d) it has a bunch of features included as well as bug fixes!
Dash Ability
Player dashing has been added to quickly get out of danger. As long as you have an item (or effect) that gives you the dash ability you'll be able to dash.

The momentum potion has been made to also give you the ability to dash while active
Hermes Cloak has been added. 5% speed boost, however, it gives you the ability to dash while equipped.
Hermes Cloak drops rarely from bats (happy grinding!)
Sword Balancing
Swords have been completely rebalanced and sped up! Swords now only hit a creature once each swing leading to stronger swords in the way the game damages the target, so don't be fooled by lower damage amounts, in some cases they may be stronger!
All the balance details are below, please let me know if I ruined the weapons and need to do more balancing! Spears will most likely be next!

Renamed Training Sword to Wooden Sword
Wooden Sword Swing Speed 300 -> 270
Steel Sword Swing Speed 340 -> 370
Steel Sword Damage 11 -> 13
Iron Sword Swing Speed 320 -> 300
Iron Sword Damage 15 -> 13
Damascus Sword Swing Speed 300 -> 270
Damascus Sword Damage 17 -> 16
Hero's Blade Knockback = 4
Wooden Sword Knockback = 4
Damascus Sword Knockback = 7
Iron Sword Knockback = 7
Steel Sword Knockback = 5
Silver Sword Knockback = 8
Bugs, Tweaks, Other

Lava pits weren't saving properly, this has been fixed
Reduced item drops from wraith (pet/tome)
Mana flower now can be used as an accessory for +5 max mana (stacks up to 3 for +15 max mana)
-20% speed while burning

Development on Epocria has been slow as of late, however, development should start to accelerate once again, starting with this update. I have started planning out Release 1.0's features, and the features required to get us there. If you want to stay updated regularly I highly recommend you join the Discord as I post sneak peeks and short blurbs of text quite often.

Turret that can be placed. Dropped from defeating The Lich. In a future update it will be craftable into a mobile summon. Unlike the mana turret it doesn't require mana!
