Patreon Build 11 (Patreon)
Content
Here comes promised mini-update with all-loved rogue rascal Iski.
Windows (64bit, 32bit), Linux, Mac.
Patreon code is "code". It allows to unlock the gallery, access the cheats from the options, and the dialogue editor with Alt+E.
The main content is unexpectedly mentioned Iski. To trigger the follow up with her story, you need to rest at the Nathan's (starting) inn. Resting is a new mechanic where you can either rent a room in the inn or use camping supplies to build a camp in the wilderness, after resting time passes and all combat debuff\damage is removed.
Combat now also undergone some changes to make experience a bit more fluid and reduce downtime by changing animation scheduling method. In addition there is some UI updating to make enemy actions more readable and other quality of life features. To make smaller encounters more meaningful some % of bleed damage party takes during combat persists until rest or other recovery method is used. Decrease is only visible in combat atm but we will add options to see it outside combat too, additionally there is hard cap how much blood decrease per encounter and game tracks how much damage you took, so trying to heal hp before combat ends doesn't affect it. Defense damage doesn't affect this mechanic since you don't lose blood.
We don't want this mechanic becoming a bothersome chore, so we will be closely looking at feedback and balancing numbers as we go.
We were also hard at work on the big cult update which will come out later this summer. Enjoy this mini update in the meantime!
