Hey, folks! Thanks to the recent and unexpected help of DarkQuantum, there is a little bit of renewed interest in this game as well as couple new enemies in the works. For the time being, this patch release mainly just brings an important feature that has been requested a few times: the minimap.

For those who don’t know, a minimap is a little radar display in a video game that acts like a GPS. This game’s implementation uses tile instancing to draw the bottom 2 layers of the map in a small framebuffer. (If this lags the game for you, it may be time to upgrade to a new computer. I am continually benchmarking and hope these features aren’t a problem.)

What changed:

• Minimap!
• Replaced the old crafting sound with the softer pick-up-item sound
• New items that currently do nothing: Stone Axe (Stone Axehead + Wood), Spear (Wood + Knife = Wood Rod, Wood Rod + Knife = Spear)
• Fixed a bug that caused special items to increase in number when trading
• Other bug fixes
