Ok guys, its time to merge the beta build to the main/default branch increasing the game version from 0.8.9 all the way up to 0.9.0 :D 

IMPORTANT: Current saves should work, but I can not guarantee it.

So, without further ado here are all the changes introduced into 0.9.0 from 0.8.9 ( I might have missed some, if so I apologize). In bold are the more important features added. I am sure there will be bugs but as always I will try to solve them as fast as possible!

New Features

• Added resistance gear.
• Upgraded food system and balanced game accordingly. More info Here.
• Random dungeons are now created when loading the world map for the first time. This dungeons are different in length and style. Initial dungeon level/danger roughly depends on distance from the initial player spawning position. Random dungeon ends spawn 3 champions and have several guaranteed chest rewards as well as gold.
• Added the "unending" dungeon to the game. Finished the current content with your character? Dive in!
• Dungeons have now 2 additional skins: stone and shadow forming.
• Added swap actions capabilities to the action bar.
• Separated resistance into sub categories and re balanced it.
• Added randomize race and class buttons when starting a new game.
• Shape shifted druids now have unique attack animations.
• 'D'drop hot key has been added to the inventory.
• Swap weapon key (default W) now also works on the inventory.
• Added several new monsters.
• Several enemies now have a disarm ability. Different weapon types have different chances of being disarmed when you have them (smaller weapons like daggers are harder to disarm for example). 
• Added wind shield spell (gives chance to make ranged physical attacks miss).
• Added toggle to enable or disable battle texts on top of character.
• Quests can now be tracked in the world map (if you have information about them) to make it easy to go where you need. Note: Because this adds information current main quests in the dawn of shadows campaign might not reflect the real progress of the quest.
• Added option to limit game's frame rate.

Bug Fixes
