Good news is the alternate font works now.

The bad news is that it only properly works on new files, because for some reason NPC dialogue boxes don't change on old files. That's the pain of a 3 yr old codebase; so it's going to be an alternate build branch for those that want it.

Got the cursor and the map scrolling working, which are the duties of the SceneViewWidget. Next I need to make sure that the animation handler is working correctly. #ghrpg #GameDev #RefactoringHeck

Okay so I have tallied the most liked/reposted of these gladiators and matched them up in a daily ROYAL RUMBLE!

First up is Provocator (the most popular) vs. Gallus (secondmost). You decide... WHO WOULD WIN?

Couldn't stop myself from implementing throwing weapons (javelins and throwing knives) 1.5 months before release. ๐Ÿคช

They are a weapon class that uses the utility slot, making them ideal for hybrid builds.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
