March - Tales of Androgyny v0.1.29.0! (Patreon)

New month, new monthly build!  Stupidly big changelog below, but first, exciting talk-stuff:

February was awesome, not least of which because we now see the end of the current roadmap in sight, which means that we're hitting the next phase of development even faster than we'd hoped.  Of course, we may decide that there are more Really Big Systems we want to implement and add big wings to the game, but even being at the point where we can decide whether to Finish the Game or Make the Game Embiggened is a great place to be, and definitely not where we expected to be a year ago.  Turns out full timers get stuff done faster, who knew?  Regardless, if you missed the previous posts - we're scheduled to finish the current roadmap around the end of April, so by the end of May we'll definitely need to have plotted a course, although we're already on a certain set of rails, so maybe it's more like we need to figure out if we want to pull a lever to switch tracks or stay the course, instead.  Anyway, it's looking like v0.1.30.0 might be the last of the pre-alpha builds, and then we'll see v0.2 for the first time!   Much like the eggs in our protagonist's stomach, things are starting to hatch!

We're feeling a lot better about much of the UI, the first big technique refactor came and went, and we're now finally able to return to the battle system and hit it with hammers, which we'll be doing all of March.  The changelog for this February release is enormous, so check it out below - lots of goodies.  

Dropbox links are in the previous posts, so check those out to find it (the monthly builds like this one are in the Pony Tier link, regardless of which links you have access to).
