fixedA new character data saving system has been implemented; old character data is not compatible anymore due to saving it differently. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It had to be updated due to how it was saved previously and potential future updates, since the player count was down it was the best time to improve on player data code. -Added new area for Act 1 Monsters: -Monster attack animations improved on timing, casting state, and shooting spells state -Some monsters that shoot spells have increased cast rates. -Bees don't shoot projectiles anymore; use normal basic attacks instead, with elements depending on type. -Frost bow skeleton aura is nerfed, and multi-shot and attack speed are added. -Monsters check if the player is cursed and only re-curse if needed. Overall improvements: -Left control+mouse click on items makes the player auto-walk towards the item now. -NPC dialogue menus are improved. -The quest complete box can be closed with spacebar. -Added gold reward for killing the last boss -Defense below 100 will absorb physical damage by 40% maximum. -Defense above 100 will absorb physical damage by 70%. In older patches physical damage was always absorbed 95% if defense was above the physical damage level. Visual improvements: -Monsters that respawn now have a visual VFX effect added. -Overall lighting is improved. -Players now have a standard light radius. Bug fixes: -Fixed a bug where bat-type monsters would have a sound spike on death. -Items no longer stack on top of each other when dropped. -Fixed a bug where switching spells would sometimes indicate not having enough mana while you did.
