Beta Notes (0.1.0)
This is an early beta focused on establishing a stable RPG gameplay foundation.
Core systems are fully playable, but balancing and additional RPG mechanics will continue to evolve.
Planned future areas:
- deeper mana-based mechanics
- resistances and elemental systems
- more category perks
- additional GUI pages and advanced stats
- optional per-player HUD/scoreboard toggles
If you have ideas, balancing feedback, or bug reports, feel free to share them for the next beta update.
