Towergirls Unity 0.522 & 0.523 (Patreon)

I've been grinding away far more hours each day than I typically do, which means yet another patch!  The game is suitably stable right now, and I've been working hard on adding back in some of the old patron content and important missing features.  One of these missing features, that I've been waiting way too long on, is adding back in a little news feed at the main menu.  When the game is launched and out of date it will alert you to go and download the latest version.

This patch does have some new dialogue and parser functions, and the two doctor knight encounters might not be working flawlessly, but I'll be continuing to fix bugs and issues moving forward.  Pretty soon we'll be able to add back in the other princesses, too, which should be fun.  I have some fun ideas on how to spice up Enchanted Tower this time around.

Gotta get back to grinding at bugs.

Edit (7/24): In the name of not flooding everyone's emails with updates I'm appending a 0.513 patch to this post.  Also the enable cheatcodes cheat has been changed.
