For the Hoard! Valor of Man: Patch 1.0.0-164

Greetings, Wardens,

Thank you to everyone who dived in and tried the full game! We appreciate all the feedback and reviews. It means a lot and helps us make the game even better.

Today's patch is about fixing some of the issues you've reported and improving overall stability.

[h2]Main Features[/h2]

Added an automatic save backup every 10 minutes, so your progress is always safe.

Increased the inventory size so you can hoard away!

Fixed a couple of balance issues with some potential cheeses and an over-tuned enemy (looking at you, Mr. Specter šŸ‘€).

[h3]That's great, but what's next?[/h3]

We're actively working on:

šŸ’° A Sell feature for items you no longer need; highly requested and on its way.
šŸ“œ Tooltips for the Map legend.
šŸ›”ļø A bunch of other fixes and balance updates.

Stay tuned, and thanks again for your continued support. See you in Steam Discussions and Discord.

- Florian & Traian
