Bug fixes: More bugs were fixed in the game - Some movement routes for NPCs were getting stopped and they wouldn’t continue to move. More of these have been found and fixed. - Fixed some dialogue - Fixed some loot crates changing graphics - Fixed a missing animation at the start of the game - Adjusted prices at the Inns Lowered the cost to stay at Inns, making them a bit more accessible and allowing you to spend Argent on what matters…WEAPONS!

  • Corrected an event where if the player losses, the sequence would just start over. On loss, The game ends and the player will have to start from their last save. - Reduced file size Removed some files from the game that are not used. - Cleaned up a few graphical glitches Note: There is still some clipping. Sorry. - Cleaned up the save/load screen Removed some information that wasn’t needed in the save/load screen. - Corrected some collisions A few collisions were missing.

Tightened up some collisions. - Corrected some zone markers disappearing once the player touches them. - Adjusted the stats on the secret OP item As nice as the old stats are. The item could break the game. In short. This has been fixed - Added icons to the special merchants. Now you now who those random NPCs are that have shop set up throughout the world.

  • Fixed a bug where the post battle victory music would change.

That’s all I have for you right now. As always, if you find any bugs in the game. Please report them through the steam community hub. I’ll be sure to address them ASAP. Thank you for playing and supporting the game for these past two years. I hope you enjoy the new content and the leap to Version 3.0!
