Hello everyone, I do not know how to start this but here we are, the next game update shall be postponed until roughly the 20th November. 

As I have previously stated V0.04 is the most technical version of TLotK, which means I have found no end of bugs testing the game; characters not moving where they are supposed to, assets not being loaded properly (Takayama from v0.03 had a few assets missing which instantly crashed the game when you resumed the game in the v0.04 content). 

So I am now postponing the next version until the 20th. 

This is to ensure that it is bug free (hopefully) and that all scenes work as they should. 

I am not giving up on this, I have a NASA mindset of 'working the problem' and I am determined to fix the problems caused by my ambition. 

The prior update I gave had the v0.04 game at 90% completion, I believed that it just needed some polishing and tweaks but now it needs a good look 'under the hood'. I may get the next update finished within a week, but I am giving myself two as I have real life commitments that I have to attend to and it eases the pressure off of me while I tinker with the game.

I know what needs to be done, it is just time consuming.

Just to clarify as well, here is an updated changelog adding a couple of items to the previous one:

- Class Change System: This is only tied to Michael/Michie at the moment, but you can change from 'Transformed Thug' to 'Transformed Thief' which shall have it's own abilities and stats (higher speed with skills like 'Mug').

- The 'Warp' System: As from this version onwards you can 'warp' to the latest content. I have done this for multiple reasons, primarily it is just in case I find a way to improve the game via plugins or coding, as this invalidates any prior saves. It isn't fair for players to have their progress lost, again, due to my ambition.

My apologies again.

P.S. If the unlikely turn of events happen that the game won't be out this month (very unlikely) I shall post about it to save people money if they so choose to cancel their donations.

P.P.S Here are some pictures of the new version. SPOILER ALERT! It shows one of the new dungeons, the new village, the new mansion PLUS the new fluffy kitsune (as a speck!)

Also ignore the 'regular' Michael in the mansion picture. It's an 'RPG Maker' thing.

Like they say a delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad and i stand with that statement for all games. Release the update when you think its good however long it may take.

No worries, I'm just glad you're still working on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-ninety_rule "The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts for the other 90 percent of the development time."
