As you can see, we did take the opportunity to add some new LUA commands and additional in-game functionality to keep you on your toes. The next update will focus on the top voted feature you have requested which is the ability to save and load your progress in a standalone game, plus your usual grab bag of additional tweaks and additions.
The other big release today are the new archer, barbarian, skeleton and knight characters which have been added to the Fantasy Pack DLC, along with scripts to control them as enemies plus a new Knife weapon to create hands-on melee combat. In addition, we have overhauled all the creature character animations and improved their scripts for improved gameplay when you drop them into your level. Expect more DLC updates in the near future!
