Work is getting done

Good afternoon!

You might've been wondering what's taking so long for me to update the game. Part of the wait is because of classwork, but the other part is because of this.
The items shown in this screenshot are all available in 0.2.0- except for those last two! In the next update, Brill will have 30 Medal slots available, allowing her to equip Medals. Each Medal has a nice effect, ranging from simply adding more HP to giving Brill a random beneficial effect at the start of battle to letting her get a few ingredients back when using a potion, but there's a caveat.

These new items require a set amount of Medal Points to equip. How do you get Medal Points? Visit the Guild of Champions, which will be added in the next update, and Brill will gain 1 Medal Point for every 5 entries in the Bestiary. (The max Medal Points of 7 shown in the screenshot were added by a testing item; you can exceed this amount.) Unequipping a Medal frees up the Medal Points it required for a different Medal, so you can switch them in and out with ease.

I still have a lot of work to do, because, in addition to the Medals, I'll add a few hidden side areas that have little items hidden away in them, as well as a few new enemies to add to that Bestiary.
