0.16.2 Content

In the next update, in addition to a few minor bug fixes, I'll address two things that are in need of some love: Bjorn has lost his skills and gotten Saras skills temporarily due to the combat rework.

removedHis skill Feint affected the old resistance system, where resistances were set in stone per enemy type. This meant that all Boars had the same resistances, and Bjorn was able to manipulate them during combat. With the rework those resistances were removed and replaced by defence points.
addedThe new Feint skill will manipulate those defence points instead. I have them designed on paper, and will begin working on them now.
removedI've reworked this popup so many times, and it never turns out well.. This time I'll spend some additional time making it more intuitive and easier to grasp. Hopefully this will remove this issue completely.

The other is one of my arch enemies - the chest equipment popup (known as the Swap Popup)

As you can see, players are able to click multiple times, and more than once lets players have said something like "wow, look how much items are in the chest" and later realised "oh, it was just swapping back and forth between two items".

I've reworked this popup so many times, and it never turns out well.. This time I'll spend some additional time making it more intuitive and easier to grasp. Hopefully this will remove this issue completely.
