Towergirls Unity 0.516 (Patreon)

It's almost 1 AM here but that has never stopped me before.

Patch 0.516 is now out, and with it comes a huge assortment of fixes and some cool new stuff (TM).   Sorry for the delay, but we felt that it was worth it to finish the new bits we have been working on.  Also cheatcodes have been updated for March.  Among this patch's highlights are-

- You can now pan the camera within dungeons slightly, moving it about half a screen left/right/away/up.  This makes it considerably easier to avoid enemy encounters if you wish to, in addition to looking around corners and between 3d objects.  This will allow us to get even cheekier with hidden items and stuff in the future.

- Melee / Ranged resist has been done away with, and now instead there are three types of physical damage- Slash, Pierce, and Crush.  Different armor sets will have various amounts of armor and resistances to these damage types (i.e. robes will have low to no armor but a bit of blunt resist, plate with have high armor and a decent chunk of slash resist).  Helmets also now provide mechanical benefits, and enemy damage has been increased fractionally to keep things balanced as a result.

- The overmap has been overhauled to increase legibility and ease of reading.

- New, small hub quest.

- CHARACTER CREATION has been added to the game!  When starting a new game, or loading an old one, you can now customize ser's height, build type, hair style, hair color, skin color, BEARD STYLE, and more.

- Usual crap load of bug fixes.  Read the patch notes for more details.
