Here’s what’s new in v0.3:

  • Fonts are now larger - first step toward Steam Deck support.

  • Clicking the trashcan now opens a larger trash area to prevent accidental misclicks. You can also drag & drop items directly onto it.

  • The hero is now shown as an icon like followers. This is temporary while more weapon types are added (bows, wands, spellbooks, quivers, etc).

  • Combat feels more lively: monsters move toward the hero, followers now have attack animations, and there are more effects overall.

  • When creating a hero, you can now choose how many lives you start with: Unlimited, 3, or 1 (Roguelike).

  • Hover tooltips now show more detailed stat information, such as % gained per stat point, current dodge %, and current attack speed.

  • Added a new item rarity: items now start at Common instead of Uncommon.

  • Later-level items now have lower maximum stat values, so level 5 items won’t spike as hard.

  • Inventory expanded with 4 extra slots.

  • First reroll when choosing a new stat is free.

  • Combat log added inside dungeons (check bottom-right icon).

  • Bank now supports entering custom amounts when depositing or withdrawing.

  • There is now a proper chest that contains random loot.
