0.3.1 Release Changelog

Here is the (hopefully) full list of changes for this release. We will post the list of changes from now on publicly with each release as requested.

Mayor changes:

• Added Buffs / Debuffs, some attacks and items add increased attributes to the characters, or other statistics like speed. Applying the same Buff/Debuff does not stack, it only refreshes the duration (if it has longer duration, or stronger base effect). Items currently using buffs and debuffs are Fairy Treat, Healing Medicine, and Bolas.
• Added Damage over time effects and implemented acid and fire type dots. Dots bypass armor, and acid damage deals damage to equipment each tick. Frog spit now also deals DoT damage, and Flaming Berries can be used by player to deal fire damage.
• Added Run away, you can now run away from combat after the prologue. There are 2 location that you can run to, the Witch's Hut and the Village depending on your last visited location. The function is disabled when you travel with Nora to the village for the first time.
