Alpha 6

was a general improvements and bug-fix update for the game.

"At this point I'm basically holding off on creating any new content for the game (locations, items, character classes, etc.) or making any real stabs at balance until I feel that the base game is solid. My priorities for now have been primarily bug fixes, aesthetics, and features that make it easier to play the game, such as the two "Big Features" listed below. Lots of new art has been added recently, and the next build will hopefully have a brand new set of sound effects to replace the current placeholders."
