Lordling of Hearts: Build v0.4.0

Alright, with a slight delay, I managed to get v0.4.0 done! This update introduces a wide host of quality of life features, together with a new heap of content. Firstly, a hotbar has been added, where you can bind skills, items, and actions. This will allow you to do most interactions without entering the menus. I also made it so that you can hold the movement button down so that you can move more then one tile easily. Also, I added a generic interact button (bound to E on desktop), which you can use to do a variety of actions like picking up items, talking to NPCs, and opening doors.

As for the content, this updates introduces a bunch of temporary buff skills, together with the system to support afflictions and conditions. Some new consumables have also been added, together with tweaks to the loot tables of various mobs. Lastly, I added a new mini-dungeon south of Darkhill, along with a story quest for Mork. I hope you will like it~!

And as per usual, special thanks to my Naughty Weredog tier patrons~: aarlin, FadeSeeker, and Jeremiah Mccollum.

With love, Nranchs
