XP System
In Nomad 0.90, there is a brand new XP system. You can earn XP for killing zombies, deers, crafting certain items and finding loot around the world. The max level is 5.
Introducing Talents
With the brand new XP system, there is also a Talent system. Every time you gain a level, you can select 1 out of 2 talents available for that level. These talents range from 15% damage, bandages will now heal, increased run speed and many more! You can find the new talent system under Talents in the inventory menu
Recipe System
There are now recipes to find around the world. These recipes will unlock different crafting items in your crafting menu.
Barrels
Random barrels will now spawn around the world. Destroy these with a melee weapon or a range weapon to gain random loot and random recipes. Destroying barrels is the only way to get recipes.
New Main Menu
A brand new main menu has been added to make the menu of Nomad much cleaner. Hope you guys enjoy!

If you do happen to run into a bug, please post it on the community forum or joining the Nomad Discord (linked in-game). Please do not add me to Steam and tell me directly, use the community forum or discord. Thank you!
