Fixes for fellow friends and Steam Demo


ahoy. today is a fine day, for it is patch day! 

this version now exists on steam as well! how exciting. i'll still keep updating stuff here, but if you prefer steam you can always check it out there

i also submitted this game to REALMS DEEP 2023 and i got much more coverage and views than i expected, with a lot of feedback. i am very grateful to each and every single one of you for supporting the game on this journey. i hope i will deliver a product which will be an enjoyable experience for you all.

so this patch will address a bit of that feedback. after this, i'll resume my usual every 1-2 months routine, with the next patch being sometime in november. 

as always, this is a minor patch so feel free to skip this one if you've played the latest build

so, without further ado,

Patch .23f :

Your saves SHOULD WORK just fine. Let me know if they don't.

New Content / Additions:

-Added infinite fountain in rest zones. They fully heal your HP/Mana and have infinite uses.
-Added a Potion Converter structure. Feed it mana potions, it'll spit out HP pots and vice versa. 
-Open doors no longer block vision or projectiles.
-Swapping weapons remembers the weapon's last used Combat Art and equips it

Enemies:

-Enemies now no longer eat inputs or act as valid targets if they are not visible to the player
-When an enemy takes any damage, they will alert all other enemies in a small range around them.
-Buffed all named enemies' movespeed by a small amount
-Cultist Apprentice aggressiveness increased
-Cultist Apprentice will no longer wander around for long distances if player is in their line of sight
-Cultist Apprentice attack cooldown lowered (this is the time spent between deciding to attack and starting the attack animation. tis time is spent in the Idle pose)
-Named Cultist Apprentice attack  cooldown removed
-Increased Cultist Apprentice and Named Cultist Apprentice damage by a considerable amount.
-Buffed Skeleton  and Mimic HP
-Improved Bloodguard behavior and visuals slightly to help communicate his actions

Potions:
-Swapping potions in the Hotbar now plays a sound
-Removed small collider on the text at the bottom of a slot, which would block mouse input
-Potion slot type was never used since nobody knew of it. Game now starts with the first three slots bound to HP only.
-Potion slot type is now saved when saving the game

Misc:
-Terrain color bug fixed, which wouldn't save the proper terrain colors of a level
-Fixed a door navmesh issue which could block player movement

Grats on the steam demo release. 

Small question. How are you going to aproach future bosses? The usual hit it untill it dies or do you have some gimick bosses planned?

i owe a lot to you for helping me find so many issues, and for the great suggestions over the years (time flies!). thank you!

>bosses

i like gimmick bosses, but if every boss is gimmicky then it loses the "cool factor". it'll be a mix and match, and some bosses will just be super-unique enemies that always spawn in a fixed position.
