Big things happening in the Shattered Coast. Here's what dropped since the last update:

🎲 Death System β€” Characters can now actually die. First death? A god intervenes. After that? Better pray. Free players get rewound to before the fight. Paid players roll the dice.

⭐ XP & Leveling β€” Svenn, Zinlen, and Okias now earn XP through meaningful events β€” combat, kills, loot, spell casts, story milestones. Level up unlocks new abilities per character.

🌦 Weather System β€” Rain, storms, fog, snow all render live based on what the DM is narrating. The world reacts.

πŸ–Ό Location Art β€” AI-generated scene art appears when you enter a new area. The tavern looks like a tavern.

🎭 Portrait Panels β€” Zinlen and Okias now have character portraits in the sidebar with trust-score colored borders.

πŸ’€ Combat Overhaul β€” Enemy Tactical Panel shows each enemy's HP bar live. Flash effects when damage lands. Combat no longer triggers randomly for no reason.

πŸ” Per-Player Cloud Saves β€” Every player gets their own save file on the server. Play on web, continue on desktop. Your progress follows your key.

πŸ”Š DM Voice Narration β€” Microsoft neural voice reads the DM's responses. Sounds genuinely good.

πŸ“œ Status Sheet β€” Full character stats, XP, abilities, companions, currency β€” one click.

πŸ’° Loot Toasts β€” When you loot a body, a gold toast notification slides in showing exactly what you found.

Alpha works. It's playable. And there's a lot more coming. πŸ”₯
