Hey guys,

I hope you're all well in these weird times. I've had some difficulty pushing the work on Soulash in the last couple of weeks, but I plan to get on track and keep our 4-month release schedule. I've made some changes to the roadmap and pushed the building patch for later. Instead, in the v0.4+ release train up to v0.5, I'll focus on improving the AI to make the world feel more alive. I think building is a "nice to have" feature that can wait, while improvements to the world, enemy gods, miracles, and final goal of the game should take precedence over smaller improvements. 

The first step toward this new goal is adding dialogues to the game. Starting in this patch, about 170 enemies in the game have something to say when they meet the player and during combat. All of them have randomized dialogue lines unless it's a crucial piece of the story. In addition to that, there is a little bit of story added to the game in the form of player character monologue that unlocks on each level up to level 13 + extra pieces on defeating Alexander and Sandaver, two of the final bosses in the current version of the game. I hope this will help to answer some of the questions many of you had when playing the game, but also give these letters on the screen a little personality.

Apart from dialogues, there have been some stability improvements and improvements to the keymapping. Sorry it took me so long, but it's finally possible to use Numpad and arrow keys to assign to actions.

Old save games will not work with new dialogues, so it's advised to start a new run. Old save files can still be loaded and finished. The Demo version was updated to include the changes as well. Full changelog below.
