Hello adventurers!

Since the last update, we've made many of various innovations and improvements in the Spark in the Dark dungeon.
The time has come to release the updated Spark in the Dark demo (0.013).

Here are the key changes you can expect in this update:

Hero's Journal

Now, the hero can make journal entries during a rest.
Journal entries reflect what has happened to the hero. They take into account battles with monsters, injuries received, visits to various locations, finding artifacts, etc. Each playthrough results in a unique journal.
Quest elements are highlighted in the journal and are then marked as completed after being fulfilled.
The journal will continue to evolve in the future, covering more and more events and situations.

A system for tracking the number of days the hero has spent in the dungeon has also been introduced.
The current day is displayed in the hero's window, as well as on the death and level completion screens.

Armor Update

We have revamped and improved almost all the armors in the game, as well as created new ones.
The armors are now more intricately detailed and realistic.
We have also enhanced the lore aspect, and the armors now come with updated descriptions.

Talismans and Amulets

You will be able to find talismans and amulets in the Dungeon.
Besides increasing various characteristics, they can also impact some of the hero's abilities.

New Weapons

Added new hammers and axes, as well as some other weapons. Previously, their variety was minimal, now it's better :)

Added unique weapons of the Ancients, as well as updated some existing weapons.

New Locations and Interactions

Despite the current focus of Dungeon construction on floors 2 and 3, we occasionally make improvements to floor 1 of Dargroth.
We have added several new locations and interactions, as well as selectively updated some existing ones.

Added new secret places.

Effect Indicators

Temporary effects on the hero (buffs/debuffs) are now displayed at the bottom of the main screen. This way, it's easy to see how much time is left for a particular effect—be it poison, bleeding, or an elixir effect—and there's no need to constantly press TAB to check it.

Added the "Secret Traps" skill book that the Thief can find and study. This allows them to disarm traps in chests.
The variety of traps found on chests will be increased.

The flying creature has received updated behavior and can now be shot down with a crossbow.

ALSO:

• Improved procedural item generation
• Added new sounds
• New hero lines
• New and updated books and notes
• New achievements

Additionally, numerous smaller improvements and fixes have been made along the way, taking into account your feedback.
Thank you all for your feedback, ideas, and support!

Wish you exciting adventures in the Dungeon! 💀
