This week I worked on fixing several bugs that have been reported.

I finally managed to fix the Stats screen so that it correctly shows your current skill ranks. As you can see in the video, I also added skill XP bars under each skill so that you can more easily track your progress. Additionally, I've altered the skill gain modifiers that are set in the game preferences upon starting a new game. Though, if you want to continue to play on your old save, the game preference dialogue will pop up shortly after loading your game, so you don't have to worry about starting over.

As you can see, I've also begun to implement full tour as an option when in a pred's stomach. However, this is not available if the pred has a tight stomach (which Elaine does), since it prevents you from maneuvering around. The difficulty of escaping into the small intestine is based on the inverse of the pred's belly strength, meaning that this is easier to accomplish in stronger bellies than in weaker ones. The reasoning behind this is that belly strength is based on a pred's size and bulk, and one can assume that a larger and more bulky pred's intestines are more spacious and thus easier to squeeze through.

Pushing through the pyloric sphincter is not without risk, though. You might not be able to get through all at once, and instead have to do it gradually. This is what the "Hold Breath" bar is for, as you have to submerge yourself in the gastric fluid to attempt this kind of escape. Once you start to push through the sphincter, you have to either manage to get to the other side or pull yourself out of it in order to breathe. If you can't do either, you'll get stuck and drown.
