Once again a release that took way too long... So thank you all for your patience. 

I actually hadn't planned on releasing it right now, but as I was working on it today I realized that I'd never release it if I just kept on adding things, so I stopped at a good spot and here it is.

I've made a few behind-the-scenes changes that will allow me to release more often, without people needing to start a new game each time so future releases should be more frequent.

That said, there's a lot of new stuff! It's not a perfect comparison, but it went from ~180,000 words in v0.2.1 to ~235,000 now in v0.3.0. 

The biggest changes are the new spell (and reformulated main quest to fit it in), the new characters, new scenes, and a whole bunch of back-end stuff that will make future content easier to implement.

I spent a few hours (re)playing the game from start to finish, so it's all functional, but I'm sure you guys will find bugs that I missed, so please let me know what you find!

Thanks again for your patience! I hope you like the new content. Your support and comments mean so much to me.
