UPDATE - EARLY ALPHA v2.01a Changelog
This build is mainly for the purpose of putting together all of the core gameplay functions that I had envisioned the final build to have. Which is why it took so long as I had to build these systems from scratch and make sure they are able to work together and is atleast enjoyable, balancing some sense of realism and gameplay. What this means is that the game still lack many content, however most of these are not core systems, meaning, it should be easier to implement future content as I would just be adding or changing what was already built.

KNOWN ISSUES
- If you loaded your game and the landscape is not visible, reload the savegame again, it should fix this. (Still in the process of figuring out what causes this)
- Enemy and items scaling still requires alot of work
- Because the map is so large, it takes a while to detail the areas, certain areas might lack details. Further detailing will be done in the future
- If you die and reload, you are unable to cast skills, redrag skills into the hotbar to be able to cast again (will roll out a hotfix for this)
