A few of the community members have been working on music for the game. I have been working on implementing it into the game. I can draw it to a tile precision.
In addition to the music I have been working on huge balancing updates. The monsters/armor/weapons make much more sense now for their various levels and drops. I also added in ability to craft rings/necklaces in Alchemy. Bug fixes too, of course. Stay tuned.
