2.0.0 Update - Massive Update

The 2.0.0 Update is here!

My fiancee created new portraits and a new fighting UI. She also recommended a new font for the game.

Overall the game looks much better now!

There are now 18 new story sections and I fixed a couple of bugs that were still present in the game.

Additionally, I did go through all story sections again to fix typos, improve the wording and more.

Look at the massive changelog below to get a feeling what awaits you! ːinclineː

• At a few markets you can now improve the shield you carry

• Increased the damage dealt through shield training when ramming

• The game features now a light encumberance system - shields, helmets, armor, greaves count towards it and if you don't have enough strength you get a small malus on hitting and dodging, getting up, getting your weapon - if you don't wear any armor you get a minor bonus on these

• Fixed a bug in the German localization when you did go to the menu while levelling it still showed the weapon training and shield training options

• Fixed a bug where the player could ram the enemy or attack defensively after loading a save even though the player didn't have a shield until the enemy actually hit him with an attack that also harms the shield of the player

• Fixed a bug where the enemy would pratically never miss you when the enemy tried to ram the player making ramming extremely overpowered for the enemy side
