Banging your party members in Ch.3 now grants them a new sprite and a stat boost, just like in real life.




Also improved some dialogue and scripts, added two new in-game texts, and increased Education requirement for reading books (3 EDU) and signs (2 EDU). I want the literacy rate in Viridia to be way lower.

Mostly working on Ch.4 scripts and maps. There will be a new demo on Patreon late tonight: https://www.patreon.com/lcsoftware.



Complete list of changes:

-Dabi's Lover and Seb's Lover reps now give companions a new outfit and stat increase.
-Shopping and training with Isda and Alaka in Ch.3 now requires reps (Student or Obonye Ally).
-Reading signs now requires 2 Education, and reading books now requires 3 Education.
-New in-game texts: Moon Pirate Code (Ch.3), Eye of Basilisk (Ch.4).
-New characters for Ch4: Kelstev, Photion, Zaroli.
-Lots of Ch.4 progress.

Weather aiming penalty now also decreases AI attack distance, which is still partly determined by AI baddie's Cunning skill. Nerfed Dustbiter's natural evasion -- normal ratfolk evasion plus his high Cunning made him almost impossible to hit, way too overpowered. Added a ton of new furniture objects like a smokable hookah, and a new pillow item in Ch.4 that grants you the effects of the Deep Sleeper ability if carried. Also added a new track from Sonic Kitchen, and some bug fixes.

Mostly just working on Ch.4 maps and scripts. Updated the Ch.4 overworld map again to better reflect the travelling time.





Complete list of changes:

-Weather aiming penalty now also decreases hostile AI attack distance.
-Significantly decreased Dustbiter's natural evasion (from 50% to 25%).
-New objects: bell, shadow, screen, tableLow, tableLow2, basketBig, basketBig2 chimney3, curtains3.
-New item: pillow (grants same benefits as Deep Sleeper ability when resting).

-New ambient sounds: tavern, tavern2.
-Updated Badlands overworld map.
-Lots of Ch.4 progress.

Been working on a primitive "grand strategy" mechanic in Ch.4, and decided to implement it into Ch.3 as well. Enemy forces will accumulate every day you fuck around, meaning there will be more baddies in the finale the longer you wait. You can view these numbers at the new War Table object, along with other options.





There are now two more auto-pause options, to keep the game paused after dialogue windows and after targeting. Also, fixed some bugs and added new high level chest objects, snallygaster nests, basilisk eyeballs, and a new fetch quest.





Tons of progress on Ch.4 dialogue and scripts. Will be ready by New Years.

Also, you can now extinguish basic torches just by interacting (no bucket of water required).
