This update adds some new items, new armor system and a bunch of fixes, tweaks and polish. I haven't been able to pump out as much content this week, since I've been working on stuff behind the scenes that will help in implementing new mechanics/features later on.
The new armor system changes how damage reduction of armor is calculated.
This means some pieces will give more/less armor, but the damage taken should be about the same as previously.
You may have noticed I've been releasing an update every weekend, and I plan to keep doing that every friday from now on.
Big thanks to Ghost, who's been helping out with creating new and updating textures in the game.
