Patch 1.0.4 Notes (Edited) + Patreon Notice!

Sorry for the long delay between patches, I've been working on both 1.0.4 and the next major content update, 1.1.0, at the same time.  This update adds in villager inflation, some new player sprites, new enemies, and new quests! This update started out as a shorter update, but gradually expanded in size over time. There is a lot of nice QoL content, but still plenty to be done!

Patch 1.1.0 will go live two weeks after it is finalized and posted to Patreon, and my eta is about 45 days until it goes live.  You can view Dev Log #8 to get a glimpse at the content that will be available in the next update! Dev Log #9 will go live hopefully sometime this week, talking about the other half of the 1.1.0 content that hasn't been covered yet.

PATREON: A patreon for the game is live as well! The first 1.1.0 WIP build will be uploaded within a few days, featuring stat adjustments, class reworks for gunslinger and sentinel, housing & furniture, & enchanting equipment!
