Brigand: Oaxaca News

Version 6.1 is up. The main fix is that skill checks now account for bonuses, so you can do purple juice to help translate tomes. In Panama, Mindbloom helps you hack, repair boats, etc. (smoking it doubles the effect). I also fixed the "if_meta=full" script boolean, which fixes the passive Meditation ability.

There is also voice acting for Osito, thanks to Kookue Cachoo.

Also, 5 new achievements, tons of bug fixes, and some more baddies/items.

Finally, I changed the ground of Gamboa from grass to sand. Please let me know what you think looks better.

Complete list of updates:

SOURCE CODE:
-Script boolean "if_skill" now accounts for skill bonuses.
-Added new script boolean: "if_skillbase", which tests for base skill (without bonuses).

I've already fixed the last major bugs a few days ago and uploaded them. Then I got the flu and couldn't get out of bed for 3 days. i'll do a few more things tomorrow and then list all the changed from the last week.

But don't worry about starting a game right now. It's no big problem.

Thanks to a couple people (and I forgot your Steam names), I fixed a couple of major script bugs in Panama. One of them allowed you to completely skip the Chapter 2 finale and jump straight to Ch. 3, and that's not cool. I will post a major update on Monday since I don't have to work. Thank God for American imperialism.
