Dev-Com.
Patch 0.1.2.1 introduces a new item, new features, bug fixes but most of all a much-needed project clean up from all pass systems that could have affected the stability of the entire project.
Penkura went through many engine version and player request changes that affect a large number of game systems, this patch will make sure that all those changes won't affect players saves and improved in-game gameplay elements.
With the patch, we also introduce a quick reference bar to make inventory management a bit easier, fixes for the audio system, inventory system, and RTS system.
