  • Added initial support for using skills during tactical turn-based battles (via the "Use Skill" action if the active character has any available skills)
  • Added initial support for using skills during menu-driven turn-based battles (via the "Use Skill" menu if the active character has any available skills)
  • Added "Cooldown (Turn-Based)" setting to the Skills section of the Stats Editor for specifying a skill's cooldown when used during turn-based battles
  • Added "Usable in combat" setting to the Skills section of the Stats Editor for indicating whether or not a skill is able to be used during battles

  • Added "Duration (Turn-Based)" and "Duration (Roguelike)" settings for the temporary stat buff and debuff skill effects in the Stats Editor
  • Added "Party" as a target option for skills in the Stats Editor (when using a script as an effect, the $target variable will contain an array of members)
  • Added "VHS/CRT Monitor Effect" feature to the Map Editor for enabling the effect on a per map basis, with settings for customizing its appearance
  • Added ability to assign placeholder images to storage, equipment, and crafting slots (i.e. an image that will be displayed whenever the slot is empty)

  • Added ability to cut, copy, and paste single objects and characters in the Map Editor via the Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, and Ctrl + V shortcut keys
  • Added support for removing enemies and party members via script during tactical turn-based battles, either via damage or the "Remove Entity" function
  • Updated Stats Editor to prevent a custom stat from being removed if it's tied to a custom currency (an informational dialog will display indicating this)

  • Updated About dialog to include credit to Peter Höglund of Godot Shaders for the VHS/CRT monitor effect used by the Map Editor and in-game functionality
