Welcome to the first post-demo update!

As per feedback, tutorials should now never repeat, and a number of them have been reworded for clarity.
Five new enemies have been added to the game. They show up rarely, but they have peculiar mechanics that should add an interesting twist to the encounter.

Also, I've been meaning to redraw the pixel-style status icons for some time now, and it's finally been done.
In addition, Jing and Florian have their final portraits.

Next update, I plan to continue the story and update the adventurers' conversation portraits as well.
