This update comes with a pretty huge overhaul of combat we've been wanting to push out for a while, and will act as a foundation for changes we'll be making to various other systems such as how status effects function and some of the party members' various personal mechanics. The highest level change is that now, resources of companion characters in combat will persist between battles provided you don't sleep. Yonten for example will retain the ice build up, and Camellia will retain her heat, letting both of them build up on previous combats and then go all out on later ones. There's also a new party UI, and some small changes to how stats are distributed.

In addition to the combat changes, we've enacted a new event, with a new, horny villain by the name of Brume! Play through the events of the week beginning on Winter 15th to meet him and understand his motivations and get a taste of his tasty krampus dick!

There are more than a few other balance changes and various fixes included in this build as well, and we hope they make your experience all the better. As always, thank you for your support, and we hope that we continue to satisfy!
