Hey guys, based mostly on the feedback from the forums, here's the first big update with a bunch of improvements and couple of important bug fixes. As for balancing issues (difficulty in monsters / strength of characters) that's an ongoing thing, so it's good to hear if things are better or worse, but keep in mind that's something that will have to be tweaked a lot before it's perfect! Still looking into the bestiary stuff.. some players mention it's not unlocking the bestiary info? I haven't been able to replicate the issue, and based on the stats it IS unlocking for other players... so bit tricky, but I'll keep digging! The full list of changes (again ,check the trello for more info on what's happening: https://trello.com/b/CXvtd5lT)

• add progress bar to level-name
• add some "direction markers" to the map view
• make XP more visual in statusbar
• slight increase in gamepad deadzone
• bomb on valkyrie fully visible
• decrease Rocko's strength in early stages
• tweak Minotaur's aggressiveness (especially when spawning near player in quest)
• made dialog-buttons more visually clear (selected/unselected)
• add status-bar to big quest-monsters
• repositioned inventory items
• playing windowed, can now move the window with mouse-cursor (except during gameplay)
• level-5 achievements now unlock correctly
• fix: unlimited hp+xp bug

After their job, of keeping the dungeons in balance, was done, our heroes needed a new job. Roaming the lands they found a call for heroes, a castle in need, possible even a damsel in distress?

Pick two heroes to take into the adventure, controlling both heroes and using their special skills to navigate the dangerous castle hallways, rooms and floors. Switching between the two characters to solve quests, puzzles, and of course clear the dungeons of all evil.

Quests - The dungeon is full of problems, let's call them quests. These problems range from simple "find a key" to "use magic powers to light all magic candles and open the magical gate". Different types of quests require different solutions. Use the skills of the characters in your party to complete these quests.

Weapons - Your characters are your main weapons. The Elf shoots his arrows through multiple monsters, the Wizard has unlimited magic, the Warrior has a powerful melee attack with his hammer, and the Valkyrie besides having a quick spinning-melee attack can also detect secrets and important loot. The characters can level up to increase their firepower, or find rare loot which enhances your character for short periods of time. This includes magic spells!

Secrets - Find secret rooms, level-skipping teleports, secret items, and more!

Perma-items - You will be able to unlock magic spells by collecting 4 shards of various magic books. Once all shards are collected the magic is unlocked. It's also possible to increase the strength of this magic by collecting the magic shards multiple times. All unlocked spells will stay unlocked even after you die, making you more powerful on your future attempts to reach the final boss.
