Update 39 - New ways to make money!

Happy 2023! Here’s an update.


Bug Fixes
  • You can no longer shoot people when they are inside
  • The selector that shows up when you transfer a character from one workplace to another should now display better when you have many many employees.
  • Bakery should now produce goods properly.
  • Fixed a bug where you would not actually be removed as town reeve if you lost the position.
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent certain skills applying properly if you selected certain background options.
  • Cart inventory displayed prices will now change to reflect the closest market without the need to reselect the cart.
  • Fixed a bug where babies would grow up to have the wrong heritage.
  • Certain cart home positions have been fixed.


Tweaks
  • Pregnant ladies will no longer go for long walks.
  • Decreased the time it takes for herbs to grow before they can be harvested.
  • Less starting money for the business owner start.
  • You will now gain relationship with people if you entertain them and your entertainment skill is high enough.
  • Tweaked cart avoidance a bit. People should now try to get out the way of carts and smaller carts will try to get out of the way of bigger carts.


New Stuff
  • Added a “Report Bug” option to the escape menu which will open up the bug report page on my website (Windows only).
  • You can now request a job via the job search menu if there isn’t already a job available - the result of this depends on several factors and is not guaranteed to work.
  • Carts can now be purchased and sold at most buildings. Any one building can have anywhere from 0 to 3 carts. Due to this change, any buildings that had the ‘Cart’ upgrade applied will lose said cart and you will need to re-buy it using this method.
  • Workers will now work while sick. However their efficiency will be lower and they will take longer to get to work. They will still be paid half wage.
  • New additions to automation. You can now send goods straight to sheds or trading posts, and carts can source goods straight from your sheds.
  • You can now replay the last 8 or so character notifications you received. These are things like relationship updates, and needs notifications.
  • Herbalists can now be assigned to see patients. People can go see them to heal their health, immunity, and afflictions. Though the success of each of these depends on the skill level of the herbalist.
  • A new upgrade for the trading post - Carriages. With this upgrade you can buy carriages and assign workers to be carriage drivers. NPCs will then be able to pay for rides around the map like a medieval taxi service.


Hope you enjoy these changes! I've been having a blast being a carriage driver.

Much love,
Atorcoppe.

Update 38 - Cook your own food & set custom employee starting hour

Hey friends, I’ve got another update for you.


Bugs
  • Fixed some decision-making bugs around buying goods for personal use.
  • Fixed the strange lute sounds when you move the camera around.
  • Fixed an issue that meant Hyrmenn could not guard sheds.
  • Fixed some conversation system bugs.
  • Fixed some bugs that would happen when waylaying carts.
  • You can now once again declare outlaws as Town Reeve.
  • Fixed some character LOD issues.
  • Fixed a bug where a child would appear to be homeless but actually isn’t.
  • Fixed a bug when using automation that would cause flour mills to trade raw resources if you have two of them.
  • Player can now once again work at the flour mill.
  • Some bug fixes for navigation within some buildings.
  • Backpack will no longer vanish when you sell all the goods inside it.



Tweaks
  • Hidden logs and chests have been removed from the maps to make things a little harder.
  • Removed the additional camera from the den building.
  • When cutting wood with your own axe it will no longer break, but instead you will be able to break a bone. You will not be able to chop wood while unwell.
  • Made the hitboxes for clicking markets more accurate.
  • Some UI tweaks.
  • Conversation tweaks.



New Stuff
  • You can now take raw meat and fish to a campfire and “cook” it. Simply right click on the campfire to do so. This will play a nice little animation for you to allow for some additional roleplay/realism.
  • You can now guard your own carts and buildings to protect from nasty people.
  • We people die they can now be buried with some of their items or coins. You can now select a specific grave to dig up in search for said items or gold.
  • You can now set a custom starting hour for each of your businesses. Each worker will work for 10 hours, from this selected starting hour.


I have also created a new tool on my website that will allow you to place a bug report directly to my to-do list. https://www.atorcoppe.com/report-bug
Entering your email address is optional, but if you want feedback on your report you'll need to provide it.

Much love,
Jamie.













Update 37.2 - General Improvements

Hey there!

Just a small update today.

  • Fixed a bug that would prevent you from working at your Trading Post.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause UI objects to be selected when pressing Enter.
  • When typing, WASD will no longer move the camera around.
  • Fixed an exploit where you could duplicate items in carts using the Send To menu.
  • As a Town Reeve you will no longer gain corruption from declaring an outlaw, if that person has committed crimes recently.
  • Your newly built businesses should no longer auto-hire people.
  • Items are now automatically moved to the storefront when produced.
  • Conversations can no longer be had while the game is paused.


As well as a few other minor tweaks here and there. I've also been playing around with some new lighting in some scenes and added a surprise to the new character screen.

Much love,
Jamie.

Update 37 - Chats

Greetings!

Bug Fixes
  • Several navigation fixes and tweaks.
  • Fixed bug where the compare markets button wouldn’t work for cart inventories.
  • Fixed bug that would prevent you from dancing with people.
  • Axes can now break properly when cutting down trees.
  • Your business should now continue producing at the end of the day if you are doing work there.



Tweaks
  • Added a slight curve to skill training.
  • Added some extra colour to markets.
  • Bounties now don’t increase so much.
  • People will no longer come chat with you when you’re tending to your animals or gardens.
  • A few new animal sounds.
  • Some new working animations.
  • Confirmation for deleting saved games.
  • Tweaks to illnesses on longer games.
  • Less chance for things to catch on fire from internal fireplaces.
  • UI tweaks.
  • Gifting is not a lot more dynamic. You can’t make fast friends with a rich person by just giving them eggs.
  • You can now do home productions while you have a job.
  • Businesses will now send their highest level hauler to haul carts.
  • Added cart menu to sheds.
  • Bone breaking events are now less common.



The Good Stuff
  • Hyrmenn can now guard carts and buildings.
  • Bakehouses and Alehouses now have a storehouse inventory which is where you place goods to sell them.
  • Chatting, flirting, and supervising timeouts have been removed.
  • Completely new conversation system when you talk to people. You can now ask questions to learn about people and discuss things. Each person now has an annoyance level so will become annoyed with you if you spam them with conversation, or say things they don’t like. Each person now also has a favourite food which you can ask about. You will get extra points for giving them their favourite food. Have a play with it. Kissing and lovemaking ties into this annoyance system as well.




I’ve no doubt missed a few things off the list.

Let me know how things go!

Cheers,
Jamie.
