Breaking Gates Update and Improvements for Version 1.2

[p]Greetings, little guy who lives right over there! We're back with fresh news! Development continues steadily and full of energy, and today we bring you another update for you to try out in early access.
[/p][p]This is another step towards the final version, and we really want to hear your feedback. Every comment, every gameplay, and every livestream you do helps us improve the game even further. You're an essential part of this journey, and it's thanks to your support that we keep moving forward.
[/p][p]Before we show you what's coming next, we'd like to say thank you ❤️
[/p][p]A new NPC is now available on the map! Meet Bico, the traveling merchant! A wanderer from distant desert lands who, from time to time, appears bringing materials to trade.
[/p][p]With him, the logic is simple: direct exchange, one item for another. Just choose the most interesting trade, and that's it! The shop's stock will replenish whenever you die or return to camp, bringing new opportunities.
[/p][p]Besides selling emblems, Bico also offers exclusive materials, essential for forging certain equipment.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]Three new swords and one new accessory have been added to the game. Two of the swords will be crafted at Helga's forge from previously unused materials.[/p][p][/p][p]- Return Blade: This sword can be found in common chests or by defeating enemies. It allows you to perform a mid-range attack by throwing the sword.[/p][p][/p][p]- Jaw Blade: A sword that fires a barrage of sharp teeth at enemies. It's crafted from materials found among the game's aquatic enemies, such as piranhas and electric fish.[/p][p][/p][p]- King of the Deep: This sword emits a wave of lightning that paralyzes surrounding enemies. It can also be forged at the camp and requires materials from the game's aquatic enemies.[/p][p][/p][p]- Equivalent Exchange: A ring that can be crafted at Helga's forge using only materials exchanged with the NPC Beak. It can double your damage, but you take more damage from enemies. [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Whenever you take damage, after a few seconds without being hit, your health will gradually begin to recover. The higher the Regeneration value, the faster and more efficient this process will be.
    
    You can only increase the Regeneration attribute by equipping emblems on your gear.
