The Demo has been updated to version 0.4.1
Manual Update
I have updated the manual and it is now a PDF file with table of contents and helpful images. I hope it is more useful to players. There are still some important gameplay features that have not been added yet, but I will get around to these things soon.
Other Stuff
To prevent new players from sailing directly to the dangerous Isle of Tarbiyyah right after the first quest, I have increased the cost of sailing there to 12 silver. I hope this encourages players to fully explore and exploit the good stuff on Salam Island before heading out there...
Beginning stat points should now add up to a total of 60. They are still randomized, but it should balance out better now. I still plan to update the way stats are gained and upgraded.
Scan Lines are now optional. If you open the Options file you can set the opacity of the scan lines between 100 and 0. 0 will make them totally invisible.
Torch Issue - it was previously possible to sell burnt torches back for the full price of 3 or 4 silver. Now torches will slowly decrease in value as you use them, down to 1 silver for a depleted torch.
Escape will now close any open menus and take you back to the Main Screen (3D View). If you press it while no menus are open, it will take you back to the Main Menu.
Thanks For All the Feedback!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who tried the game during Next Fest, and for providing such valuable feedback.
