Dont Die 1.3 Update
Here be dragons!
This is a semi-large content update with lots of cool new features and stuff to play with. and of course bugfixes.
Features:
- Added skills and leveling that affect most aspects of gameplay (Melee, Archery, Magic, Artisanry, Labor)
- Adjusted combat to scale with levels
- Player can now destroy any unwanted items from their backpack
- Can now propose using silver rings
- Mother dragons will now spawn randomly
- Dragon eggs can be picked up and interacted with in a variety of ways
- Young dragons can be tamed and ridden in a similar way to horses
- Dragon leather can be collected and crafted into armor
- Added unicorn hair
- Chicken corpses can be hauled around
- Chicken corpses can be revived using the raise dead spell
- Added options to quit or reload upon player death
- Player can drink blood from buckets
- Buckets of blood can be harvested from bears and horses as well
- Unicorn blood can be collected and consumed for special effects
- Slightly optimized mine generation (doesn't affect gameplay but will make future content faster and easier to implement)
- Added some art to the games introduction
- Can now carve unicorn horns into wands
- Your spouse can now be given a custom nickname
- Added more generated map spaces to explore
- The player now has the option to commit suicide at any time
Bug Fixes:
- Player no longer picks up coins while they are dead
- Feeding horses and unicorns now correctly removes the food
- The custom mouse cursor should be slightly more precise now (feedback needed)
And that is it for the 1.3 update changes. This one took a while to get working, simply because it was a tedious process getting the skills to affect many of the games existing features.
The next update won't take nearly as long as this one. Expect the 1.4 update in maybe a week or two? I should also mention that the 1.4 update will mostly be bugfixes, optimization and a lot of small non gameplay related changes, as I'm trying to tidy up some of the games mechanics in preparation for a very large 1.5 content update. but for now enjoy the dragons!
