Hey everyone!
Thank you for the wait. The new patch is now available, bringing more content and the latest character of the game.
Hanvilton is also bringing a discount with his release!
Patch Notes - v0.4.0
New Character
Hanvilton, the Blacksmith
A new character is armed to join the Roster! The Blacksmith is bringing a new playstyle to the battlefield.
Hanvilton doesn't have a Basic Attack at the start of the fight. He uses his Special Command to forge 1 of 3 available weapons and gain a Basic Attack based on the weapon of choice: a claymore, a spear or dual axes. Forged weapons have a set durability that is consumed by attacking or using certain skills, and they will break when there's no durability left. To keep the same weapon, Hanvilton can Repair it using his Special Command as well.
His animations and attacks will change according to the weapon chosen, which can influence the course of the battle. Are you going for slow massive damage? Or high precision? Or maybe, fast attacks? Or swap between them as the weapons break? Some of his skills will be different depending on the weapon. So test between them and see what the Blacksmith can bring to the battlefield!
Village
New Levels for the Buildings
With the update, new materials have been added to the game, so the buildings in the Village can go even further and bring more power to the Survivors and a new System.
Farming System
Upgrading the Farm will unlock a new System to the Village. Agriana and her sisters can cultivate a variety of produces in their Farm to collect already known materials and brand new ones only available through Farming. These materials can be used to cook new foods and upgrade the Farm itself. Most of the upgrades related to this building will come from the Farming System.

Adjustments
General

- Fixed the level up information of Skill's damage number being zero on levels 2 and higher;
- Other bug fixes.
Next Steps
We decided to delay the Weaving System to the next update as we are redesigning our initial idea for that System to bring something more interesting and fresh to Crafty Survivors. This System will come on the next update with more stages for the Mountain.
We already have the next character planned as well, all their skills and mechanics. We are starting the development of the 8th character soon. (We already have their base sprite designed!)
We are still adjusting the game's assets to reduce the overall file sizes of the game and possibly improve performance in the future, specially on lower-end hardwares. As we mentioned previously, this process is very slow and we have to balance it between the development of the new content. We have already began with several assets of the game and there are still a lot to be done.
We hope everyone is excited to meet Hanvilton and take him to battle!
