The main quest is ready.
The paper you start with called the last Mission, will now lead you through the main Quest.

I fixed the Craft sword, so now It works..
But I also added that you need metal Bars, which you have get from a shop.
Or you can mine them in one of the mines in the game.
If you have the Ore, you need to get coal and wood, and find a smelter to change it into Pure Metal bars.
(There is also a Achievement for Creating your own sword...)

I added about ten new Achievements, like take a picture, and visit the different maps.

I found a couple of serious bugs, when play-testing the last mission, which is why this micro-update comes now...
