Changelist:

• NEW Major Character / FxM full act - Fleet-Admiral Horveek of the Dragonfire Fleet - A Skiirborn admiral who is second highest ranked member in the Dragonfire Fleet. You’ll be meeting him a few times along the story, and characters with vagina can get a bit deeper meeting the first time too!
  
• NEW Major Character - Advisor Selis, a regal ex-captain of The Unnamed.
  
• NEW Characters - A duo of short stocky cute kizan guards with Horveek.
  
• NEW Character - Ribbons, a black market coin vendor - Replaces temporary function from Myghan as the Guild Drake converter, and offers a few additional ways to complete item related quests.
  
• NEW Position switcher - You can now switch between top and bottom in acts where it is possible; Generally MxM and FxF acts with crew are compatible. Player in act presentation ghost is colored brighter than the crew member.
  
• NEW Store stock updating - Vendors now update and refresh their stocks, getting new items for sale, removing old items, and so on. Updating happens at different times making passing of time more important than prior (see next entry).
  
• NEW Sleeping function - You can now rent a room at The Cotton Ball and sleep there to pass time. The “free bed” in the old shack is gone though, due to sleep actually having a gameplay meaning now. You can re-sleep only after enough time has passed from the last time you slept; It is basically sleep time + 50% to determine when you’re tired enough to sleep. E.g. If you slept to the morning and it was only 4 hours to it, you can’t re-sleep before 6 hours have passed after waking up. Maximum sleep delay is 18 hours.
  
• NEW Showroom stage rework - Improvements to atmosphere of old stages with lighting, audio, stage naming, and decoration. Showroom stages no longer use generic locations with table prop and instead uses fitting locations within the stages themselves.
  
• NEW Showroom stages - Inn room, and Cellar mini stages.
  
• NEW Item hover accessibility rework - Item hover info now displays colors of clothes in writing, and also displays both rarity name and item type in writing. E.g. cloth color: “red shirt”, item type: “piercing”, and rarity: “uncommon”.
  
• NEW Increased crew size - You can now have 5 crew members to ensure you can keep a higher variety of crew.
  
• NEW Trash cans - Have a lot of pesky items you just want to get rid of? Donate them to the trash cans! Also people occasionally throw away items, so you might find something new in the trash cans as time goes by.

[h3]Devlog Snippets I-VI from between 1.3-21.3.2021 (Newest first):
Snippets VI – Topbottomtopbottomtopbottom Snippets V – Bulges of the Bulge Throne! Snippets IV – Meet the Lizard Snippets III – Debugger and Dehugger Snippets II – Accessibility tweaks Snippets I - Showroom Polish[/h3]

You may or may not have seen these earlier, they used to be posted on the Steam Community subsection, but recent voting kinda suggested that it was way too obscure and "behind the scenes" so currently testing different formats for devlog postings ^^

Now, we're still trying to figure out the optimal way of posting these, we polled it earlier for if they should be posted here or not (here kinda won rather overwhelmingly), and I'd like to poll it again, but this time whether or not you'd like them posted as a Collection of Snippets (like this one) or each posted as an individual Snippet (like each Snippet is in this post)?

You can vote here -> https://www.strawpoll.me/42827716/
Please vote and let me know of your thoughts so that we can find a perfect balance ^^

Cheers!
