Wow, big update! I think I suffered a bit from the "just one more thing" on this one. The problem is every time you add something, you extend out the deployment time, and now here we are with a big beefy update. This update should really smooth out the gameplay experience. You travel ever westward to reach the gold, with lots of enemies along the way! Because of how much the game was updated/changed/etc. the bug fix list is a bit small because several of the bug fixes were wrapped into new features. I think you'll really enjoy it and my hope is to take this build out and pitch it to publishers. 

NOTE: not compatible with an older save!

WHATS NEW

-NEW WORLD MAP! The gameloop has been pretty dramatically adjusted. When the game swapped to an overworld map system it dramatically improved the timing and "fun," but it was still a lot of walking around doing nothing.
