Very exciting! I attended PAX for some unrelated development meetings and gathered a LOT of great notes. You'll be seeing a lot of that in future updates. Either way, PAX really put a bit of an odd timetable on this update - so its REALLY big compared to the last few. Heres what we got cooking!

Whats new

• Character creator v1 in game - only a few options to customize right now, but easily expanded code wise to include more

• Career selector in game - only a few careers so far

• Simple CRAFTING (combine x with y) mechanics in game

• Match item in game

• Wood item in game

• CAMPFIRES can now be crafted

• Added DASH into game, allowing you to move quicker, slide under enemies, or dash into them to knock them back

• Swapped run into an auto feature after walking a few steps

• Duster jacket is finally in game and definitely gives much more fluid movement

• The backstab option is now stronger

• Added a new temporary event - BANDIT RAID

• Added a little "Saving" icon to the bottom corner so you know when the game is saving your progress

• Sneak now makes your character transparent when you can't be seen
