Time for an update! This one mostly consists of fixes and improvements, a couple new features here and there, but nothing major in terms of brand new content. I expect the focus to switch between these things as I move ahead with each individual update.
Note: Due to the extensive changes to the save system, old saves won't be compatible this time around. Sorry for the inconvenience!
NEW:
- Added Save Slots, allowing for up to five characters! The player can now name their characters as well.
Added Relic Tiers, and the Accursed Reliquary.
- All relics can now be upgraded to increase the potency of their effects. Many relics have been given new, additional effects to allow for this. For this first implementation, upgrading relics will be easier and faster than what is to be expected in later versions.
- Added a new enemy: Mimic
- Added 15 new armor pieces (Mostly footwear)
- Added a quick-stack button [R] for storage chests
- Added Sprint [hold Space] to reduce the need for dashing outside of combat.
- Items sold by the player are now added to the shop inventory, and can be bought back for no extra cost until the shop is refreshed (e.g. starting a new dungeon run)
- Shops now generate new items to sell between dungeon runs
- Resources like wood and stone can now be gathered by breaking down stones found on the surface, and chests within dungeons.
- Added a new system for casting aimed spells
- Aimed spells can now be cancelled
- Added a new song for the main menu, and 3 new songs to the Forgotten Tunnelways
- Added status effect "Slow" which limits movement, but unlike "Chill" does not affect attack or animation speed.
