After weeks of fixing bugs we decided to change tack for a little while and focus on something else. Going over the many feature requests posted to our discord server, we identified an opportunity to change the way the game deals with the death of a character.

First of all, we brought back the mechanism that made sure the items you carry when your character passes on, can be retrieved later on. They might still end up in the hoard of a monster, though!

Better yet, when you die you now get the option to restart at the entrance of location with one of the characters currently on your roster. In that case you can try to retrieve the lost gear immediately. If you dare...

Gameplay changes:
- Bring back the mechanism that stows your gear somewhere after you die.
- Adds the option to restart from the current location’s entrance after you die.
- When you change wayfarers in Haven, healing potions are no longer automatically transferred to the next character. So when they show up in a pinch, they have some protection.

We still have been mostly fixing bugs and this week’s patch fixes twenty of them.

On our discord server we have also started a discussion about the mid-game balance and ideas to make the end game more exciting. Come join us if you have any opinions about those!
