  • Finished work adding a second new dungeon just East of the tutorial exit (near the ruined trader's cart)

  • Inspect item widgets and compare item widgets are now twice as large, showing the whole item description without the need to scroll

  • Inspect item widgets and compare item widgets now auto-detect the Y mouse position and draw the widget accordingly to prevent the widget from ever going off screen
