Exon: Fragment v0.07

Version 0.07 is the version that was recently demonstrated at Scottish Games Week... well, plus a few extra bug fixes. Most important is the brand new stand-alone Instant Action level A Walk in the Park, which was meant to be an easy scenario for conference attendees to enter blind. It didn't entirely work -- only two players managed to complete it, but many more seemed to have fun with it. Maybe you will too?

You can read the full story of my conference attendance in the obligatory blog post on my website.
