V0.6 - vine traps (Patreon)

Download LINK.

V0.6 is here! (I scaled the version number by a factor of 1/10).

The main feature in this patch is 3 additional vine animations + player peaceable traps. Includes the vine trap of course. You can buy them off a particular NPC in town.

The other set of feature is preparation for the "story" related stuff. It includes a bunch of new features for authoring quests and dialogues. Also fulfilled some requests from modders as well. I am including the changes for documentation purposes, you can ignore them if you are not interested in modding.

One thing to note is that I plan to do away with the random "meet a potential ally" in Dungeon mechanic and instead allowing you to "Rescue" potentially allies at end of quests lines and for completing a zone. That's what the focus for the next couple of patches will be. Also, there will probably be a save-file incompatible patch sometime in the future as well.

Changelogs:

- Added 3 new vine animations
