Patch 0.3.7


Version 0.3.7 is here and it’s bringing in a lot of new stuff as usual, along with a bunch of bug fixes. The most notable new additions include a lot of new audio, both music and ambient tracks. Another great thing is that loading times should now be even shorter! During testing on my own machine the game loads about 40% faster now compared to before. Continue reading to learn about all the other stuff included in this version.

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.
  • When trading, the “All Items” button does not work. Other category buttons work, so you’ll have to use those until this is fixed.
  • Some sprites may be misaligned.
