Growing Explorations v1.1 Release!

Hello everyone! I know it has yet again taken too long, but I would like to present to you update 1.1 for Growing Explorations!

This has been a very tedious process of development, but I am happy with how it came out. As some of you may know, this update includes the Academia city (Arcathis), which is the firtst settlement in the game ever, so a ton of stuff had to be changed.

You may also know, that there is a new artist working on portraits - AzazellzAI! Currently, all other portraits, except the player's, have alternatives from him (Vlision's renders are still in the game!). You can choose which you want to see, by toggling the artist setting in the game settings.

There have been a ton of new things added, the largest of which are:

•  Ability rework - Now abilities will require 'charges', instead of just having a cooldown

• Multi-artist support - As I mentioned, you can choose which artist's portraits you want to see

• Inventory & Item rework - Items! You can now collect items and use them whenever you want to!

• World shader - Sparkly stuff ;)

• Better Cutscenes - A cutscene system has been implemented

• Quests - Some more quests! Nothing much, because I want the whole Arcathis to be out before I finish the first tome of the story

• New characters

• Academy city - Only the outskirts are out in this update. This is as I want to release this version at a stable stage of development

• Luna New stage - Luna has grown! You can see her growth stage after comleting the Arcathis quests

• Bug fixes - yeah...

I also want to mention, that there were a lot of bugs in this version as I finalizing it and there are still some stuff left, for example Ysorting doesn't work perfectly (This is just visual). I didn't fix some of these issues, because they would entail, reworking something big, which would delay this release. All bugs I have noticed are mostly visual so there shouldn't be much gameplay issues. Thus I would be very glad to receive your feedback on any bugs or issues you may experience.

Another thing, I am currently working on a full game guide, as there are a lot of people who ask me how to do this or that. I will update you on this when it is done.

Anyways, thank you for supporting and I hope you enjoy this update!
