The Forbidden Arts continues to improve! This new build exhibits a lot more polish in various areas of the game.
The most important thing in version 0.9.3.0 of the game is the new save/load system. It's lightning fast compared to the previous version. It's been rewritten from scratched and heavily optimized. Everything is now stored in single save files. The old system was always temporary, but you should see a huge difference in the save times and the game should feel a lot smoother. If anyone has any issues with their data transferring please get in touch with us and we will build you a custom save file for your game. Though hopefully there will be no issues as the game has been heavily tested and it appears to be working flawlessly, and all old data transfers perfect.
Beyond this, lots of other things have been improved. Here's what's new in version 0.9.3.0:
- Brand new save system
