Version 0.8.7 Swaps Onto Early Access
[h2]Introducing the Pouch![/h2]
Many people have requested being able to carry multiple tools at once, so we've added the Pouch, which allows you to carry two tools at once!
Pouch get!
Swap those tools!
Combining the boomerang with bombs allows for ultra-wide reach!
To explain why Quest Master does not offer tool switching in the inventory:
Predominantly the Four Swords series has started the trend of being locked into a single tool, but I hope the new Pouch will be of great use for y'all! There's some crazy item combinations, like fire rod and bombs, that open up the way for many new puzzles, previously only possible in multiplayer or with puppets!
[h2]Give the Propeller a spin![/h2]
Finally, a new switch type!
The propeller is activated by kinetic wind energy -- when wind touches it, it will start spinning. However, its friction will cause it to slow down gradually, until it comes to a stop again.
This opens up many new possibilities for timed operations without the use of dedicated shapes!
Turbines allow it to spin continuously!
It will continue spinning until the Tornado vanishes!
Gusts of Wind will active them for short bursts!
They can also be deactivated with a condition!
[h2]What's Next?[/h2]
We are preparing hard for the upcoming next major content update releasing on October 4th, so mark you calendars! It will introduce many new game changing features that will elevate your dungeons to new levels, quite literally.
Next week is going to be a smaller update because of the preparations, so we are adding some content to Castle Town!
See your next Friday!

To explain why Quest Master does not offer tool switching in the inventory:
- Having to open a menu dramatically hampers gameplay flow
- Bringing up menus in shared-screen multiplayer is incredibly annoying, as it locks out other players from controlling their character
- Being locked into a selection offers unique puzzle scenarios, e.g. having to strategically change tools or having to make a choice, or giving up your held tool to progress
