This weeks update:

Last weeks editor update caused an issue with loading some maps, after trying lots of fixes the only option was to jump back to the old version. Due to procedural generation being created on the newest version an experimental option cannot be added, once the procedural generation system has been well tested the editor will be updated and all maps will have to be replaced by the new system, this will invalidate all saves. I hope to have procedural generation fully finished within the next 2 weeks.

5 new male outfits have been added.

5 new female outfits have been added.



Clothing selection system improved for better randomising.
