As for this update, not much is known as the developer stated that they've been busy.

This page is still a **W.I.P.**! Everything is **not final** and **is subject to change**.

## This version will add:

### [Camera]

	+ Accessible by pressing **M**, once active, the player will be unable to move but can use the **WASD** or **arrow keys** to move the camera around instead, exploring the map without moving.
	+ Pressing **M** again will drag the camera back to the player.

### [Day Night Cycle]

* **[NEW]** The game has now a in-game day night cycle.
	+ One entire day (from 00:00 to 23:59) lasts aproximately *15~* minutes.

### [Elements]

		- Developer comment: *"Same reasons as the Mystic type of damage. See above."*
