 Purchasing in towns works. Spells work. Capturing pirate ships works, and with one

 are in place. The in-game help screen works. Saving and loading games works, although
 it has some unavoidable limitations. Background music works. Increasing attributes
 works. Fountains work. It's winnable.
 
+Compared to the earlier version 1.0, version 1.1 features improved creature movement,
+guild shops with working keys and torches, more townies with more clues, openable
+treasure chests, more challenging dungeons, a tower puzzle, enterable shrines, and
+many minor bugfixes.

+Due largely to the existence of chests and additional dungeon levels, this version
+requires less grinding; due largely to the existence of more characters, this version
+has a bit more story. It is much closer to what I had set out originally to build.
