Way forward

The combat balance changes require your feedback. Adding more hp to the player and increasing his movement speed with Physical Conditioning research changes a lot so I'll keep adjusting so the discovered items feel more relevant and monsters don't feel too weak.

Some things that I really wanted in this update did not make the cut. I need some more time to work on them and you can expect them to drop in January. Here's the list:

• Salazar passive resource gathering after giving him courage

• More random combat encounters

• More magical loot from certain enemies

• More useful items from the trader

• Further balance of endgame monsters (Guardian and Tasoth mostly)

• Button to regenerate world

More long term goals:

• Add a new end game boss creature (the art is done, just misses the AI)

• Add teleportation spell, and more elemental spells

• Add mana potions and rebalance spellcasting so it's actually useful

I'll keep working on the game for you, also look at Psilocybe Discord for a big announcement in January.

Have a safe, healthy, merry and awesome Christmas!

All the best
