Dont Die 1.7 Update

How about a variety update? Some big yet simple changes to make the game a bit more diverse and replayable. As well as some much needed bug fixes.

Features:

• There are now a variety of custom backgrounds / origins for your character to start with. This affects early gameplay quite a bit
• Children now grow up into adults over time
• Men and Women now have ages and are affected in various ways by the passage of time
• The player also ages and is affected by time
• Some NPC's will treat the player differently based on age
• The Everlasting stone prevents it's wearer from aging
• Digging up bones from a grave now asks for confirmation before doing so
• So long as your spouse hasn't decayed to a skeleton, reviving them will now maintain functionality and status as your spouse
• Raised Skeletons will now move around randomly while out of combat
• Fisherman clothes now give a slight boost to labor
• Taking food and gold from tables while dressed as a noble no longer increases bounty
• Entering certain areas while dressed as a noble no longer counts as trespassing
• Nobles now react to the king being assassinated
• Accessories can now be equipped to non player characters
• Your spouse will now actually wear the ring you proposed to them with
• Chickens raised from the dead will now fight for the player and lay rotten eggs
• Added rotten eggs as a new throwable weapon, may cause vomiting
• Added a character preview in the equipment interface
• Miners and Woodcutters will drop some of their goods when defeated
• Increased the amount of artisan Exp gained per action by 15%
• Improve the well sprite slightly

Bug Fixes:

• Seeing an Archmage no longer makes you immortal
• Gold swords can now be equipped to the player as intended
• Picking underground mushrooms no longer produce cabbages (whoops)
• Raising wolves from the dead now costs the correct amount of mana
• Less likely to get stuck on the necromancer den when exiting it
• Stealing from specific boxes no longer causes a game error
• The player no longer respawns at phylactery jars with their shield still in hand

if there are any issues with the new character backgrounds, or typos in their descriptions, let me know. In the 1.8 update I'm going to add a little bit of content, like new maps and areas, and a few items and interactions to play with. But the 1.9 update will probably be a technical one with some bug fixes and preparations for a larger 2.0 update.

My plans for 2.0 aren't set in stone but i'm just going to continue updating the game as usual.
