This was going to be one large update, but I got knee deep into some combat and other changes and decided I should get this update out to fix some notable bugs. There are a lot of changes here, but I will highlight some of the major ones: - On-screen compass has been added to the top of the screen.
- A 'weapon' called the Attuned Compass can be equipped to see the location of other players and the airship. It's useful for figuring out where players ran off to.
- The 'lives' system has been removed entirely. Players now drop a percentage of their money on death. Money can be retrieved by grabbing an 'essence' that is dropped when you die.
- Checkpoints look a little better than the stone block now:
- The grapplehook has been changed significantly. It is now much 'zippier'. Now for the patch list!
