- New demo build 0.4.0 - 14 February 2025
Kaamos Demo build 0.4.0 Additions: New map location type: campsite. Campsites are generated as alternatives to forests (random loot) and fields (+15 hp). The loot from campsites is a random buff that lasts for three map locations. Only up to a single campsite can spawn on each map row but their spawning is not guaranteed. Buff system: the player is able to receive temporary buffs that give a passive bonus to the player's combat capabilities. For the time being buffs are gained from campsites only. There are three different buffs in total. One offensive and two defensive buffs. Up to two buffs can be active at the same time. If the same buff is received twice, it prolongs the duration of the buff instead of stacking. Items can now be dragged and dropped from loot slots to inventory slots. Items will also be compared if an item is dragged and held on top of another item in a suitable inve…
