Huge update for this game. v0.60 has been released, and this is what I consider to be the definitive version of the game so far. It is the version I plan to upload to Steam, and I've completely overhauled the game to address many of the issues that have been brought up in the past. This patch adds the following:
-A total rebalancing of the game's economy and rate of progression
-A complete overhaul of enemy behavior. Enemies are now much smarter and behave in various strategic ways, such as using tactical retreats and group formation attacks
-An overhaul of the beginning game experience
-New racial abilities added. These unlock during Zone 2 and are very powerful!
-Adjustable difficulty. Enemy behavior changes with difficulty, as well as some damage inflicted.
-Many sprites have been made more beautiful, and things like additional lighting, drop shadows and sprite trailing to simulate motion blur are added
-New racial Feats
-A new title screen and logo. It looks so much better than before!
And even more! This is the build I need feedback on the most, as it's the build I will be uploading to Steam. I plan for this to be the last major update until release, though I'll continue to add various patches and small tweaks here and there.
