Greetings fellow gods,

A big "minor" update this time around! This update brings a new location to the game, called The Maze. It's a secret location that I will let you find on your own. It's guarded by new types of enemies designed by one of our Patrons - Sinful, for the August content submission. If you can meet the challenge of finding it and beating the enemies, you will be rewarded with a pretty nice base of operations, with many crafting tables, and portals to distant places in the world.

Aside from this new location, we've added 2 new abilities, one for the Cultist and one for Inquisitor. Poachers also received some much-needed love - some of their abilities now leave ammunition used instead of consuming it. This should help with the ever-decreasing count of arrows and make these abilities more appealing to use.

In the background, the work continues toward the big v0.6 update that will bring other gods into play, things look very good there, and we hope to deliver with the next month's patch. Lots of modding changes this patch relate to the upcoming v0.6 update.
