Version 0.37 | Monster Abilities, Codex & More

This week was marked by many small changes and improvements. I add the much needed monster abilities but also took some time to prepare underlying systems for the future.

The most important addition are the enemy abilities. Bears can now punch you across the screen, Wolves lunge at you from a distance and Skeletons resurrect if you don't treat them with a boulder. Second is a Codex, that lists the most important objects in the game. It fits the game more and is easier to maintain than the tutorial, so it replaces it.

Thank you all for your support and until next week!
