BUGS FIXES

- The size of the image of the beggar has been corrected.

RELEASE OF HEROES OF BOOK & PAPER 1.0

The release date of version 1.0, which will include all the stories, is approaching. A number of improvements and minor changes will also be added.

I would like to thank the community for their support, those of you who have played HB&P, and those of you who have given me your suggestions and ideas. Thank you, without you it wouldn't have been possible. I would also like to thank the community of independent game developers who have given me so much advice. It has been a journey where I have met a lot of good people.

But this journey does not end here. I still have a mountain of ideas for the game, and many of them are very usable, so I will continue to include new free content and new improvements even after launch.

See you on the pages, and thank you for reading!

- CHAPTER #25 - THE DARK ROCK

The game's release from Early Access is just around the corner. With the core of the game now almost complete, all that remains to be added are the last two quests and the finishing touches.

This new update, update number 25, brings a new adventure complete with 4 different endings and available for both free mode and campaign mode. The food cooking system has also been revised, making this option more interesting and above all more useful.

Here is the changelog v.0.9.3:

ADDED
- Added new adventure!, for free mode and campaign: The Dark Rock.
- Added new item: Food. It is a discarded item that allows players to recover 5 HP.

CHANGES
- The system of cooking at rest locations has changed. Now cooking mushrooms, meat or fungus, instead of directly giving the HP increase, generates a food item that can be used even later in the quest (or in other quests).
- The Dark Fungus item can now also be cooked.
- Healing potions now recover up to 7 HP instead of 5.
- In the story 'The Funeral March' the option to Rest (+3HP) has been changed to cooking food in the camp.
- Changed the Red Dragon's stats. It is now slightly more dangerous.
- Amplified torch sound.

BUGS FIXES
- Fixed a bug that prevented you from protecting yourself from goblin arrows with the shield if it was equipped. ('The Funeral March' story)
- Fixed a bug when buying +1 Bow in the markets. Instead of paying 7 coins, as indicated by the price, 6 coins were paid.
