I'm not dead (like we originally thought!)

Wow, well it sure has been a super long time since I did anything game making-related at all!

To save everyone a giant story, the gist is that I pretty much retired from doing this and have been concentrating on making music instead. That said, there have been a few things that always bothered me a bit with Equin 2 that I never changed. And so today I blew the cobwebs off the computer and made some minor changes and graphical bug fixes:

ADDITIONS

• Cactus Pricks (stage 2 desert enemies) now have both gold and iron nuggets added to their loot pool

• Mystery Scarabs (also desert enemies) have had gold nuggets added to their loot pool as well

CHANGES

• The Warrior skill "Decapitate" has been drastically improved and will work much more often than before. The exact formula now uses DEX x 8, whereas it used to be DEX x 5.5 before. A Warrior at level 8 with only a DEX score of 6 will have a 48% chance to instantly execute any enemy in the game. So some minor DEX boosts will increase this a bunch of course.

• Drinking a Yellow Potion and in fact ANY source of Bonus Gold found that's like this now gives a +200% gain (used to be +50%)

• HP regen during combat now regenerates +3 life per turn (was +1)

• Stamina regen during combat also now regenerates +3 STM per turn (was +1)

FIXES

• The endgame boss "Cat on Pillow" now displays the correct graphics if either frozen or plagued in combat

• Stone Golem enemies now display the correct graphic while frozen in combat

• If a Chicken Stone is selected while you have either an Upgrade Dust or Max Gem in your backpack, the correct possible upgrade path window is now properly displayed

----

And that's it!

You know, I hadn't even opened my laptop to do anything with games since Feb 2023. This was a weird experience- not even remembering how to do this stuff for a while. I hope these small doo-dads will help make this game more fun for current and future players!
