Update 1.56 - HD Graphics, Daily Quests, Improvements
Today we're happy to present you with RetroCores 1.56!
HD Graphics
We've increased the base-size of the game from previous 32x32 to 64x64 pixels enabling us to enchant the graphics and create new wonderful, detailed and even extra small things.
We've enchanted every sprite of RetroCores to be as good looking as possible as 4x the size while still keeping the oldschool aspect.

Daily Quests
We've added the exterminator missions, which is a daily mission there you in each city can sign up to find and exterminate small pest creatures for a reward.
There's even a mission in Rookgaard that can be completed on daily basis!
Other Improvements
Network
We've upgraded how the network works around the game and client, within our own network around the globe, to make everything smoother, and chance for troubles less than ever.
Character-kick
We've improved the kick system so that if you lose connection, your character will be kicked and character-list returned to you within a few seconds.
Before this, a kick resulted in a up to minute long "freeze" before you could "relog".
Lock-Button Memory
We've made the client to remember all windows with lock-buttons, so when you restart the client all the windows that was locked, still is.
For example, battle-list, skills, loot , exp/h windows and more.
Lock inventory related windows
We've added an option there you can lock equipment window, health/mana window, buttons-window and minimap so they cannot be dragged.
You can find this option in Options > Others > Lock inventory windows and minimap.
More frequent raids
We've increased the raid frequency by 100% to make the game slightly more interesting.
Keep in mind that some creatures in some raids drop special items.
Final words
Other than those noticeable changes, we've done some background related improvements to make everything smoother and stable.
We're never stopping chasing perfection and will keep trying to improve everything.
Sincerely,
RetroCores Staff

Notice:
Some items/sprites might look weird/off and we'll of course track them down and try to correct them to look as good as possible.
So don't worry in case you find something that doesn't look alright, we are not going to stop trying to better everything!
Additional to HD graphics, we've made you able to adjust the thickness of the attack-square
You can adjust it in Options > Graphics > Attack square thickness.
