Demo Updated to Version 0.4.0
The demo version 0.4.0 has received a major update! There is a whole new area to explore on the first island, and early game economy has been improved upon.
Due to a lot of player feedback, I finally succumbed to the pressure and have made it a bit easier to get started. A new area I call "The Dark Forest" has been added to Salam Island.
Now new players can experience one of the main early gameplay loops of fighting monsters, gathering their parts, and selling them in town for silver coins. Previously this was only possible on the Isle of Tarbiyyah (in the Demo) where scorpions dwell. Scorpions, known for their venomous stingers, are rather more dangerous than the large brown spiders on Salam Island, and the complications of arachnid venom made this whole process rather more difficult than intended.
I hope this change helps new players get a handle on things in the early part of the game. The challenges to come are still there, but this should help to ease players into them, rather than dropping them on the player so suddenly.
