Hey all,
Another big update for The Forbidden Arts has arrived! The game just keeps getting more and more polished and we're right on track for our Early 2019 full release!
Lots of work has gone into this update and I want to thank user Darkmikasonfire for all the amazing feedback as well as Green Man Gaming for the video they broadcast last week, in which they played 3 hours of the game.

It's always great seeing other people play because they mention things and find bugs and or things that could use improvements, and if you don't know by now, we really try very hard to pick up on these things. We've made tons of improvements and will continue to do so until we are done with the game. Here's what's new in version 0.7.2.0:

- Fixed a bug where player would remain dazed permanantely if he was stunned prior to becoming dazed.
