Finding Color in the Ashes Alpha 1.9

Hey everybody!

This build is focused around getting more systems implemented, and fleshing out Willow's skill tree. There's a new music track, some new SFX and audio adjustments. The forge is implemented in its most basic form, there are some new NPCs, a new weapon, a new armor, a new enemy, and some new resources.

A bunch of Winter systems have been implemented. These are far from complete, but they lay the groundwork for the next update which will really flesh out the winter gameplay.

There's a new alternate start available on the main menu, allowing you to start the game near the end of fall with Scout, Eleanor, and Willow already hired for anyone who wants to check out the newer content a little quicker.

Thank you so much for your support! Stay tuned, the next update will conclude the army's story line in fall and introduce the winter story arc.

NOTE: If you downloaded right when this post went up and are stuck on the companion screen, re-download the file! It is fixed.
