Major Patch v2008 - Speedrun Features, Pets, NPC vs. NPC, Multiple Server Support & Tons of Enhancements

Greetings, Itch.io!  This was a major patch for the Mirage team (of 2).  For a while, players have been waiting for the announcement of the engine to support pets & NPC vs. NPC gameplay.  This update added the framework to the game, which will take a few months to fully integrate into the game.  There are many bugs to squash as a result of this major enhancement to the custom engine.  

Also, with the increasing love of speedrunning, we believe our game's simplicity lends itself well to that type of gameplay.  Instead of depending on external software to track, we've implemented a timer system to track how fast players defeat our dungeons.  We look forward to the players completing months of work in seconds!  Bring it on!

Beyond that, we've really been pushing to make the game look "prettier".  We've enhanced many aspects of the game to make it easier on the eyes.
