Release 0.49 2022-01-22 (Patreon)

This version includes a creature spawner that attempts to balance encounters against the player character by very approximately simulating how the conflict could play out. Please let me know if how you get on with this in case it needs further tuning. It should be survivable most of the time.

There's a notice board in Twizelford's town square with a new quest on it that uses the new system. The town hall is also open to a limited extent and there's a clerk for you to interact with should you take this repeatable quest.

If you encounter errors when playing please do report them to me!
