Patron Release: Alpha v2.01.1 (Patreon)

Hey guys! We're finally moving on! We're getting things all set up and ready to go for the next big phase of development, you'll find that in another one of our posts shortly.

You'll find that there's not a lot of bugs fixed from last release, due to the massive efforts we had to take to overcome rejiggering the entire game to support a time and calendar system. We've got a change log below explaining in more detail what's going on in this build, but you can look forward to time passing, days changing, and your character now using up energy on taking actions such as breeding and running. Eventually food will be able to be eaten to restore energy over the course of the day, but for now you gotta go to bed.

The cyclops has been enabled, though we're still seeing some serious bugs in some of the sex sprite animations. That'll be a major focus of our bug fixing efforts in the upcoming month, and we're also going to lay down some of the back end for getting stuff procedurally placed on dungeon maps. For the time being the Dungeon you can run around and explore has no encounters, no interaction except to return to Cloverton. This is going to be a long, involved process, where we steadily test out various methods of getting dungeons functioning and working in a fashion close to what we originally envisioned.

Change Log

UI
Clock: Shows the current season and time of the day pictographically. It also shows player's health and energy bars.     

Small Bug Fixes
Dialogue nameplate shouldn't be white now 

Dialogue
New dialogues and events can be found in Cloverton and farm 

Dungeons
Dungeon layout and transport test 

Gameplay     
New in-game time system:          

• Every time related action now runs using a new time r can't system
• If you stay up untill late you will fall asleep and be transported to your bedroom
• Affects monsters, crops and the player     
• Monster are always on the barn doing whatever they are doing (very buggy visuals :S)

Energy system: 

• Each farm action (interacting with the field or monsters) will consume energy. 
• Sleeping recovers energy. 

Walking and Running Speed increased.

Music
2 new music themes replace the old songs played (Default volume reduced too)

Known Bugs

While pretty much anything you reported last time is already known, the big ones you'll still encounter are as follows

• Tons of corrupted scenes in the gallery. We're trying to work on fixing this. If we can't get it done by the end of the week we'll do a dump to our patrons of a zip containing .gifs of all the animations.
• Seed Stacks for the purposes of buying and selling are bugged very badly.
• Occasionally the skybox for the Dungeon will be very small. Please please please if you trigger this one give us as much information on your system specs, OS, the settings you ran the game on, as you can as we've got no idea why this one is happening given it's happening so inconsistently.
  

EDIT: Given the massive issues with the corruption of the sex sprites, we're adding the 4 cyclops gifs (loops and climaxes) to this post immediately. Further releases of uncorrupted images in gif format will be made in time depending on if we can hotfix this within a reasonable timeframe.
