Alpha 1.5 is Out!

It's been a month since we shared our alpha with y'all and we've been hard at work! Everyone's feedback and bug reports were so helpful and have helped make Questbert a much better game ♥. This update is a half-way point between where we started and what Jon and I are calling "Act 1" of the game. Please take a look and let us know what you think. It's not an exagerration to say it's almost a new game!

Big Changes 💥

• Added a quest skill tree. This replaces the previous perk system. You can now spend prestige on perks in the skill tree, accessed via the prestige counter in the footer.
• Added a tech tree, unlocked at the college. The tech tree let's you upgrade the town and improve its capabilities.
• Added the battle tower -- a special type of quest area which gets progressively more challenging. Currently accessed via the collesium.
• Added the apothecary -- a new merchant that lets you brew potions.
• Added cooking at the tavern. You can now make hearty soups, season them, and serve them to recruit heroes.
• Added the dark altar where you can combine heroes to improve them. Currently accessed via the fountain.
• Town now shows all active quests, sales. Quests and sales can be reviewed in town.
• Timers now run when the game is closed.
• Added debug menu with options for players who want to skip ahead (accessible by pressing " Ctrl D" anywhere in the game).
• Recipe viewer for crafting much improved.
• Quests levels 21+ are harder now, take longer to complete.
• Reworked first run so it's closer to our final vision.
• Every tenth hero level is now cheaper.
• Added screen change transitions.
• Added class and elemental affinities. If a hero equips an item that matches their class affinity or element affinity they will receive a buff to that stat. For example, a Fire-Hunter's power level will go up higher when equipping an item with "Fire Attack" and "Speed" stats vs. "Water Attack" and "Defense" stats.
• Many more bug fixes and minor improvements

Next stop Act 1 ✅
