v0.20.28 - More furniture, village types, new armor sets and weapon

To get this update, you have to opt in inside your library:
Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.20.x in dropdown.
It's recommended to back up your saves when playing on experimental version. Especially when loading a save using a newer version. You can do so in game on the load menu.

A quick reminder that there's an official Discord server, where you can post suggestions, bugs, or just talk with other players and the developer. Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/FAFgrKD


This weeks update adds one more furniture set and 2 new village biomes that use the new furniture based on the biome. At the moment it's basically just a "skin" for a village. Later on, the village can sell specific items and have other differences.
2 new late game armor sets and a new summoner weapon have been added. This makes the summoner class close to complete with the current progression in the game.
