Major Fixes Devlog 10

This is a major update because I fixed many things!

Spells are strong enough to be useful and the Spellsword is now playable.  Some AIs that didn't cast spells before now will, including both Sir George and Lola.  I rebalanced maneuvers quite a bit ... for instance flurry is less overpowered and strong attack is less useless.  A lot of minor tweaks and fixes.

Nerfed some enemies that were too powerful.  In general, the combat AI is not quite where I want it to be (particularly for spellcasting) - needs some tweaking.

Also, there was an error with a custscene that only happened during one playthrough but crashed the game - not sure what caused it yet.  (The custscene before the battle with the ninjas guarding Percy.)  

Food bonuses and the World Map buttons are still untested (Wander seems to work usually).  

One final thing is that stat bonuses from equipment do not always seem to work ... this is important, and I need to fix it.

Rescue the Cat is fully playable even though it is still being tested for bugs.

You just need Java 20 to play it: Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 20 (oracle.com)

"Windows x64 msi Installer" is the download link you probably want if you're on Windows.  You also need 7zip if you don't already have it: 7-Zip

To run my game then you just extract the "Rescue the Cat" folder to the desktop and click "play Rescue the Cat.bat".  If you installed Java 20 properly, it should work.  (It may or may not work with other versions of Java for now.)
