Known Issues

• The buttons to sort the item list have been temporarily disabled due to them crashing the game under certain circumstances. Functionality will be restored once I figure out how to fix it.
• There can be some tiles in the Uspya region that are half black and/or broken.
• Some sprites may be misaligned.
• If you've killed NPCs, they might be alive again due to a change to how killed NPCs are saved/loaded. W/A: create a new character or kill them again.

Important new features

Shields and Blocking

This update includes a new feature to the combat system, shield blocking. Blocking removes all damage from an incoming attack, as long as you're facing the direction of the attack.

When you successfully block an attack, you lose Defense Points. Once you've ran out of these, blocking no longer works. It automatically recharges while not blocking, and can be increased either with the Defense statistic or equipping bigger or higher quality shields.

Horse Carriages

Outside every capital city there's now a horse carriage service, which will take you to any other capital city on the mainland for a price. Look out for the horseshoe sign to find them.
