Folklore Hunter - 0.8.4

Happy new year! We hope everyone had a nice break over the holidays, but now that we're a month into 2023 we're getting started on a new batch of updates. We know everybody is excited for the Mothman hunt, but before we release that there are a lot of aspects we want to polish as well as many new features we'd like to work on.

This update focuses on fixing many bugs and quality of life changes but also on redesigning the inventory for the game. We've redone the UI, tightened-up the inventory controls and made the decision to remove crafting from the game.

On top of the changes made for this update, we've been working hard in the background on something big that we can't wait to show everybody, but it's not quite ready yet so for now you'll have to wait a little longer...
