Save files from v0.5.4 are compatible.

[h2]Visual Effects[/h2]
Enhanced targeting visuals: Animations now clearly indicate which targets will be affected by an ability.


Player path animations updated:


[h2]Keyboard Targeting[/h2]
All abilities can now target using keyboard controls.

• Use numpad directional keys to move the target cursor.
  
• Press [Tab] to cycle through potential targets.

[h2]Keyboard Controls[/h2]
Added 3 new keyboard controls: [G]et, [T]alk, and [E] interact.

• Use [T] to talk to any adjacent NPCs.
  
• Use [G] to access any adjacent lootable containers.
  
• Use [E] to interact with any object, such as workbenches or beds. Also can be used to loot.
  
• If multiple options are available, target selection is activated. Use [Tab] to cycle through targets and [E] to select.

[h2]Quaff, Feed, and Medicine[/h2]
Introducing three new commands: [Q]uaff, [F]eed, and [M]edicine.


Press the corresponding key to open a quick-item menu, allowing you to quickly use an item without navigating the inventory.

These can also be accessed from the action menu.


[h2]List Navigation via Keyboard[/h2]
The loot window can now be navigated with keyboard controls, enabling you to take individual items without the use of the mouse.


Press [Up] and [Down] or numpad keys to navigate the list, and [Space] to take an item.

Use any of these keys to activate list navigation. Alternatively, select "List Navigation via Keyboard" in options to enable it automatically.


Currently, only the loot and quick-item windows support keyboard navigation. Future updates will extend support to other UI windows.

[h2]Other Changes[/h2]

• Memory management improvements: the game now only loads the current dungeon floor into memory, significantly reducing overall memory usage and improving performance on systems with limited memory.
  
• If an error occurs while saving a zone, it will now be logged and reported to the user. Previously save file failures would go unnoticed until an attempt to load a corrupted file was made.
  
• Nerfed Gremlin Experimenter: reduced maximum health from 105 to 65 and burn chance from 15% to 12%.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a bug causing ring duplication.
  
• Fixed an issue where rings could get stuck and become unequippable.
  
• Fixed player summons disappearing when entering a new zone.
  
• Addressed several issues related to time simulation when entering a zone, which caused some entities to skip turns. This issue made them vulnerable to attacks without the ability to move or retaliate.

[h2]v0.5.4b[/h2]

• Fixed crash during faction battles
  
• Fixed in some cases unable to re-enter a settlement after a battle had occurred there.

[h2]v0.5.4c[/h2]

• Fixed error loading into battles.

[h2]v0.5.4d[/h2]

• Fixed null exception when loading into zones, after a battle has taken place.
  
• Fixed duplicate shopkeepers spawning after battles.
  
• Fixed quests spawning for NPCs that do not exist either due to leaving from low prosperity, or death in battle.

[h2]v0.5.4e[/h2]

• Fixed after entering the inn room, unable to reenter.
  
• Fixed crash when leaving inn room.

[h2]v0.5.4f[/h2]

• Fixed Grimjaw's defeat not marking fortress as defeated or removing faction influence.
  
• Fixed player unable to complete quests due to faction battles. NPCs required for a quest which have been killed (from a battle or otherwise) will now automatically respawn upon reentering the town.
  
• Fixed all doors in a settlement are open and unlocked after a battle is finished, even doors that should be locked.
  
• Fixed issue where locations currently in battle would be invisible to the quest system, causing various unintended effects.
  
• Fixed killed npcs permanently disappearing after a battle is resolved. NPCs killed in battle will now always respawn after enough time has passed, given the town has the required prosperity.
  
• Faction armies can no longer walk on top of locations. This fixes an issue where battles could be started while standing on a location, which technically was not a siege (attacking from a city, or attacking an army that happens to be standing on a city).
  
• Bandit armies will no longer chase the player while standing on a town (or other location).
  
• Fixed battles (in the case where the player is attacked by an army) taking place on the tile of attackers, instead of defenders tile.
  
• Fixed bug allowing player to keep receiving rewards for a successful battle.
  
• Fixed crash "Attempt to enable respawn for NPC with respawn info".

[h2]v0.5.4g[/h2]

• Fixed summoned animals attacking guards in Aridax and Stonewarden towns.
  
• Fixed mail courier (part of "Gremlin's Grief" quest) stuck always following the player.
  
• Fixed quest "Confidental Matters" missing the dialog option for the Guard Captain.
  
• Fixed some parts of the character creation user interface not scaling correctly, according to the "UI Scaling" setting.
  
• Fixed array out of bounds exception to do with field of vision attempting to refresh partially outside the map bounds.
  
• Fixed crossing paths with an allied armies will initiate a battle (against no one).
  
• Fixed shops not selling or buying some rare animal materials (beetle wings, spectral remains, etc).
  
• Ethereal Gremlins no longer can spawn decay roots.
  
• Removed text "World Turns: X" from overworld HUD, which was intended for debug mode only.
  
• Reduced speed and view distance of bandit armies to make them less punishing (more balancing changes to come).
  
• Speed up influence decay rate, so influence recedes faster when a location is defeated.
  
• Tweaked army compositions for more variety, reduced chance of armies comprised only of archers or melee units.

[h2]v0.5.4h[/h2]

• Faction structures (Bandit Camps, Gremlin fortresses) now spawn in wilderness tiles, as they did prior to v0.5.4.
  
• More improvements to simultaneous turns for faster gameplay. Enemies chasing the player now move simultaneously if out of attack range.
