The last release version (0.3.6) wasn't quite up to standard and has been removed from the download list. This update fixes a number of issues with the previous version.

Changelog

• The "House" environment is complete and integrated! Explore Turk's childhood home in its decrepit, abandoned state!
• Endless dungeon mode returns! Previously, the incomplete campaign system was inadvertently left operational.
  
• Talents return to the game! Currently only the default 5 are available to the player.
• Overhauled the game state machine to implement hierarchal states, vastly improving the stability of the game.
• Fixed a bug with dialogue where players were unable to progress from the opening node.
• Several UI issues fixed. Namely, the sprites for the inventory screen equipment slots now display properly.
• Outline shader implemented to increase visibility of items and characters.
• Simple lighting system added to increase ambience.
• Begun converting xml data to json format for ease of deserialization.
• Loading operations for xml raws are now "safe".
  • This does not mean they cannot fail, but the main menu should still load, even in the event of a fatal error.

I'd like to thank an anonymous tipper for bringing to my awareness a case in which the DamageTypes_Base.xml would sometimes fail to load, throwing an unhandled exception and freezing the game on the loading screen. This issue was caused by float.Parse being unable to read the values in that file. 

This update should fix any problems pertaining to that particular file and make freezes in the asset loading screen much less likely.

Going forward, I'll be simplifying the deserialization of xml raws to avoid issues like this from popping up in the future. The more I can rely on Newtonsoft Json for deserialization of assets, the better!

Thank you all for your continued support. There should be a post up this week sometime about my plans for Turk's Crawling Dungeon! And lemme tell ya, I'm excited!
