Draug's Resurrection 1.0.0

This currently released version is finally 1.0.0, after almost 12 years. Although, in a lot of ways, it's just finishing off what wasn't by 0.9.7, that being the final set of 20 spells. Plus an additional 26 completely new ones to fill outs some spots or further utilize new mechanics introduced.

Now, truthfully, my playtesting hasn't been as extensive as I would've liked for THE big version number, nor does it mean the game is truly 100% complete. There's a lot of extra art work that I really would've liked to have done in time, especially related to the animation additions of 0.9.7, but seeing as things are mechanically finished and real-life issues might complicate things in the near future, I need to call it now. Again, ideally, this is not intended to be the final update, but if it is, I think it's a fair enough spot to leave it. Further, if I'm being perfectly transparent, I think for there to be any further growth, DR at least needs to appear finished enough that someone might want to actually touch it. Can't fix something if I don't know or don't think it's broken, you know? Worst case, save files are transferrable to new versions, so there's little fear of lost progress if a new version does come out.

So, with all that said, let's restart this at the very, very top. Draug's Resurrection is a completely free nonlinear RPG with a focus on incorporating that nonlinearity both narratively and mechanically. It features a unique turn-based battle system that has elements of tactics games and classic RPG battles, and allows for fairly ample party and character customization. While the tale of Draug's quest to re-obtain its nine artifacts and recover its lost memories and power is fundamentally a simple one, each of those events finds a way to culminate and effect future events, both in obvious and less-obvious ways. Total estimated playtime for a playthrough is... pretty hard to nail down, but I feel comfortable in saying at least 30 hours. With its nonlinear design, any two players (or any two playthroughs) should see fairly distinct differences, even if they take the same general path and alignment.
