[p]Added a border around the map while zoomed out. Also added new traps that are placed on doors and chests called Hinge Traps (blast, poison gas, etc.). They can be disarmed with Mechanics, of course. Sprinkled these traps around Chapters 3, 4, and 5.[/p][p]Decreased the range to spot concealed non-mobile objects from 2 to 1 tile, to make the Spotting status effect more useful (Scouring ability, etc.).[/p][p]New Fur Clothing item for Chapter 6, which changes party sprite and protects against environmental cold damage at night.

[p]New insanity effect where animals will talk to you about some gibberish on rare occasions (limit on number of times per chapters so it doesn't get annoying). Characters now stop attacking when Berserk or Ravenous effects wear off.[/p][p]Also, every character in your main party at the end of a chapter will now get +5 max HE and +5 max ME.

[p]Fixed a bug where status effects would overlap multi-line character names in HUD, another bug with abilities that had over level 10 skill requirements (skill limit got raised to 20 a long time ago), and an AI script bug where raptors weren't rolling into balls for speed if they were being controlled by another faction.[/p][p]Still mostly working on tiles and sprites for Chapter 6.

[p]Working on Necromancy mechanics and lore for Ch.6.[/p][p]I was hesitant to include undead in canon lore, since walking skeletons do not make much sense. I have officially decided to restrict skellies to dreams only (like the tutorial), but there will be zombie-like creatures in waking life explained with bacteria or some shit in Ch.6.[/p][p]Animate corpse spells now require nearby corpses. It looks great, but I'll wait until I have some new maps finished to upload videos.
