Public Build: Beta v0.0.1.2c (Patreon)

It has been a long strange month, but one that has been well worth it. There's very little obviously added, what has been put in is the work on several new systems that should be far, far, far, far, FAR more robust and stable than in any previous build. These refactorings are still ongoing, but the ground work lain should make it so that all work in the future should be much more stable, far less buggier, and things less prone to just breaking down any time we make any changes to the story or battle systems.

What is coming up next month? More refactoring, hopefully the rest of arc 1 (we are just waiting on the writing, and if necessary will be putting in lorem ipsum). In addition, there are changes to farming's front end displays coming to make the system far more stream lined, and maybe the very earliest of these will be getting added in September to enable players to leaves the process of harvesting and maintaining crops to their monsters entirely (Mr. Bucket will sadly be vanishing). You'll also be seeing way more active animations on the overworld, with super basic NPC idles and more 'turned on' portions of the world than what you're already seeing this month.

Further, we've sat down and given a long, HARD, look at the systems that need additional things, and the way dungeons are actually generated is right at the top of that list. We're really looking forward to showing off some of the changes that will be happening, but among them will be making it so that dungeons are both more visually distinct, while being more fun to play, less random over all, and more navigable, while being far more visually enjoyable. 

This is a very slow month front end wise, the most you'll see is the entirely new energy system (Making it less likely for you to just drop dead from farming, but still hopefully putting in some hard limits that will be important later on in the story. Energy's purpose is to be an oh-shit 'escape from battle' mechanic for when we start making enemies move about the overworld, and to make it so that for larger farms, you're forced to put your monsters to work, not just sit around on a pile of catgirls and holstaurs with an ahego face.)

As always, thank you each and every one for remaining with us and for giving us your support, and we look forward to your continued support moving forward!

NOTE: Hilariously, our method of making the actual, uncompressed game smaller, means that compressing it any further is nearly impossible, and so it becomes too big to fit onto patreon. Which is why you'll find the .exe this time around is much bigger when unpacked than the previous .exe

*Reasoning vast changes to the underworking code.
