Hi all,

I would like to first apologies about the length of time it has taken to get this update out. As you may or may not be aware, I recently had a son which has caused delays in game development as you may expect! I also had to focus quite a bit on the WN Dev Contest earlier this year and been properly planning out my roadmap and design of all game systems.

I made the decision to implement a system I was working on prior to this project, which gives the player the ability to craft their own abilities. I spent quite a lot of time tweaking the system to get it feeling okay and would now want to some feedback, suggestions and critique on it.

Firstly I will cover the ability crafting and cover patch notes in the next section.

Patch notes

Character Creator 3 I have opted to use Reallusion's CC3 for created NPC models. This steam lines a lot of 3D modelling for characters at a high quality, allowing more flexibility and originality when it comes to character design.

Quests The previous quest system I created from scratch had quite a lot of bugs, mainly surrounding saving the progression, which caused issues when dieing half way through a quest. I decided to scrap this system and redesign it taking elements that worked well.
