r34 Changelist:

• NEW Island - Saardan - First pass includes; Right side of the island has Grey Port with 14 NPCs to meet. Saardan heev and ful, small huntable species, spawn around the right side of the island. There’s currently default loot you can find in locations (we’re adding custom loot later on!). You can go to the left side of the island too, but there are no written NPCs there, however you can find more stuff to hunt for there and there’s some loot here and there. Generally you should stick to Grey Port side though! Saardan is a slow to traverse island until we have fast travel there
• NEW Small Characters and 35 small character loops - The local Saardan heev and Saardan ful are shorter and somewhat stockier than many other species on Skiir. You can now sexplore together with them in 35 small character loops in various combinations and poses, some of them variants, primarily for Saardan heev and Saardan ful who are small species, but also available on Showroom for any character
  
• NEW Species - Puur - The main species of the puur are called the Saardan Puur. They’re very rare outside Saardan, and even on Saardan the puur are rare. Kind of a mix between a gazelle and deer, they’re somewhat horny.
  
• NEW Subspecies - Sand Heev - They’re the rarer large Saardan heev that travel outside Saardan, more a big bunny than the hare like Iskaai heev are. Sand heev have custom skins and slightly different kind of facial structure compared to Iskaai heev.
  
• NEW Character Creator Randomizer - Character Creator now allows you to randomize characters to a much greater degree by just clicking the subspecies select button. It basically now randomizes between available palettes, patterns, and tails as before, but also randomizes genitalia, body, and breast size/type options
  
• NEW And More Fun Bureaucracy - Crew Rename Forms - Added ability to forge existing documents into crew rename forms to give custom names to recruited crew. You can meet the slightly stingy forger on Saardan. Bring Guild Drakes and expired forms!
  
• NEW 30+ New skins - Shared between regular fox skins for the ful, tribal skins for the Sand heev, and Puur skins
  
• Added Idiot’s Pillar trader who sells very randomized stuff at very unfair prices mainly to act as another way of getting items that are hard to find in random loot
  
• Added ability to access ship holds while sailing
  
• Added Character Creator option to swap between inside ship and at docks for different lighting
  
• Added inn chests with a twist

r33b Changelist:

• NEW Feature - Hireable NPCs - Each island now has randomly spawning NPCs that you can speak to and hire for Guild Drakes.

They will persist until hired unless you indicate you aren’t interested.
  
• NEW Feature - Ammo usage - The Stinger rifle now requires ammunition to fire, and the type of ammo now matters depending on the species being cured; optimal ammo type should only take one injection, but otherwise two - though the one will slow them. You must use ammo to perform a cure (no longer can sneak up to cure). Various ammo prices and amounts have changed to accommodate this. More stores also stock ammo, although Timathi by far has the biggest inventory.

r32c hotfix

• Fixed flycam vibrating when exiting a full act.
  
• Fixed exiting to menu mid conversation allowing weird variable states. Conversations now do not autosave until the conversation is ended.
