Good progress with the library, allowing the player to acquire new spells/boosts for adventurers. Already thinking it may be a bit OP 😅

Added a very basic Training Ground to the Guild Management. Allows the player to invest in passive improvements for the Adventurers. Needs improvement.
Finally added the game to Coming Soon. Needs a lot of work (and trailer): store.steampowered.com/app/4134790/...

Finally getting around to unifying the market UX with the other panels that pop up so it is consistent. Needs more work but glad to be rid of that completely different formatted screen :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #tbs

Finally implemented an equipment review screen into the tutorial so the player can review the amazing sword taken from the Dungeon. Need to add controls to let it be equipped next but the Demon Lords undead army is in trouble :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #tbs
