(Demo Updated) New Enemies, AI Upgrades, Health Pickups

This update is a bit bigger this time. Changes were made to the game mechanics and balance, and two new enemies were added. Previously unimplemented mechanics such as weight and elemental effect were also added.

Enemies have been given a large upgrade to their AI. If you escape them, they will pathfind their way to you in an attempt to continue the pursuit. To escape them, you'll now have to keep going for a bit to lose them.

As you gain proficiency in various things, you'll notice an increase in your attack speed or crafting speed for the specific weapon/tool or crafting type. There will be specific abilities to unlock later, but this should make leveling proficiency more rewarding for now.

This was never intended to be a survival game, so I've also added HP and EP restoring pickups that can drop from enemies. This makes it easier to explore if you're good enough not to make too many mistakes. However, I removed the bed's ability to heal you outside the home zone. Outside the home zone, it will just make a checkpoint for you to respawn at. If you're in danger near enemies, it won't work altogether.

You can download the new version using the button up there.
