This week I finished the overhaul of the dungeons, finally clearing the way for the next region. I replaced the awkward throwing daggers with bows that can be permanently equipped and shot at any time and did a lot of smaller changes that you can read about below. Next week will be all about the next region and how it will integrate into the game.

Gameplay

- The hero's bag holds up to ten items, instead of eight
- Secondary weapons can be equipped in addition to the main weapon

- The hero can hold up to 20 arrows at a time
- Throwing daggers have been removed
- Knifes serve as a simple fallback weapon
- All weapon variants were given unique names
