Hi everyone,
I'm excited to say that things are coming along on the equipment system upgrades. Quivers, arrows and throwing weapons have finally been put into simple, comprehensible, and far less glitch-prone formats. I will elaborate when I post the fix.
Now, I have to integrate the new equipment system into the existing battle system. But while I'm at it, I want to do some upgrades and bug-fixing, so I'm recoding some battle system stuff along the way.
Many things from the new equipment system require the new UI to be functional, so even if you were to equip some sort of use item, there wouldn't be any way for you to actually use it. But since you couldn't do that before either, that's not much of a change. In that vein, once I get the equipment system into the battle system as it is, with the aforementioned tune-ups, I will post a hotfix to get your early feedback on the equipment profile system while I work on the UI.
It is my sincere hope that I will be able to get the fix up on Friday. The GUI upgrade should then only take a few days more. Once all that is nice and in place, I will finish addressing other battle system glitches, the save/load issues, and then we can turn our attention to a few other small features in anticipation of alpha 7.
We are still unsettled in our living situation, and it is slowing me down somewhat. My apologies. Thanks everyone.
