Update v0.9.22.5.3

Hi All,

With this update, it is possible to buy or sell hybrids at the Guild's Fair. You can sell any adult creature that is not sick, injured, or old. You will receive multiple offers, not only money but also valuable items. The stronger a monster is, the more valuable the offers will be. It is also possible to buy monster hybrids, eggs, hatchlings, or grown creatures at the Guild's Fair.

Added:
  • Monster Market


Changed:
  • Before buying, the player can see the characteristics of slave combatants. It is also possible to choose the class that best suits their characteristics.
  • A red lock icon indicates if your reputation is too low to hire a character.
  • A red lock indicates if a character is not selectable for the fight.


Fixed:
  • No Options panel in the main menu.
  • User interface elements of the Recruitment window are in the wrong position if the aspect ratio is smaller than 16:9.
  • The "Create Potion" panel does not show the required ingredients' names.

Update v0.9.22.5.2

Hi Folks,

This update focuses on tutorials and bug fixes. I have implemented tutorials about breeding and raising monsters, human characters, and crafting. Please share your opinion on Discord or Steam forum.


Fixed:
The plant diet pop-up tooltip does not close in the Monster window.
The training slider does not hide if the prerequisite of fear training is no longer exists.
The text is wrong on the alchemist's payrise message.
Generating a false message for drunkard blacksmiths and alchemists.
There are too many drunkards among blacksmiths and alchemists.
Herb's Market and local alchemist has the same stock of potions.
The Character panel shows an incorrect value for the action point bonus.

Changes:
Every time you select a runestone or scroll, the slider will be set to the maximum value by default.

Added:
Monster breeding tutorial
Monster raising tutorial
Human character tutorial
Crafting tutorial
The extended breeding panel shows the estimated offspring characteristics
"Add All" and "Add 10" buttons for purchasing materials and ingredients

The Monster Breeder playtest is live now!

The playtest will last for a week. The game has a short feedback form when you exit. You can skip it, but it would be great to get as much feedback as possible. Any playtesters are more than welcome on the forum to discuss the gaming experience and suggestions.
