THE THANK YOU UPDATE

Well, it's been nearly two years since my last update. I'm extremely grateful for the love and support I've received for Withered, it's all been much more than what I expected for this little experiment. Even though this project is now quite old, I've decided to come back one last time to hopefully wrap it in a nice bow and call it complete for good.

This was my first publicly released game, and it comes with  a pretty great deal of jank. Today, I shaved down a significant chunk of the particular issues that bothered me. In addition, I had cooked up a pretty big update that had been sitting in my "In-Progress" folder for some time. That "Cut Content" has been backported into this version, so expect some new goodies even if you've played before. 

NEW CONTENT:

• Four new weapons have been scattered around the dungeon. Three occupy a new niche as early game weapons, and the last one carries a unique ability that carry a run, if you're up for the challenge of finding it.
• Three new enemies have infested the fortress, replacing some basic skeletons and injecting more variety into the combat.

BALANCING:

• Player health, stamina, and movement speed has been increased!
• All weapons deal more damage! This also means that enemies will stagger more easily. Combat should be less of a slog, and more fun.
• Fire damage has been increased for enemies! Torches are once again be a valid strategy.

BUG FIXES:

• Startup crashes should be fixed!
• Locks can no longer take multiple keys! 
• No more item duping! Sorry, flooding the starting room with explosive barrels is no longer a valid strategy.
• Chests now have proper collision.
• Doors no longer have collision while swinging. I witnessed a streamer die literally moments from reaching the exit by being trapped behind an opening door. This is just a sensible choice.
• And more!

Meanwhile, I have been working on other projects. It's very slow going, but I'm still alive and things are still in the works. I really had a great time putting this together, and I hope you'll stick around because I have much more make!

Thank you!
