• NEW - Ful Spirit - The ancient ful spirit can now be visited on Gut Island (Northeast island on Skiia). She has a MxF act and is a bit more knowledgeable on spirits and Skiia than the Spirit of the Standing Stones (or how he is more commonly known as, the glowing green penis).

• NEW - Ship Decoration - More storage space, and vastly more visually pleasing ship interiors.
  
• NEW - Quicksaving - You can quicksave in most of the places in-game by pressing F5 while not in acts or conversations. It functions similarly to Autosave in that it saves the
• last* position player was in that was allowed along with all the player information. This means the player position may vary a little when loading Quicksaves, but everything else is saved accurately. There's one Quicksave slot PER character. Custom saves can still be made by interacting with your cabin paw Juin.
  
• NEW - Map locators - Most of the locations, important and unimportant, in-game now have a map location marker that can be discovered by approaching or entering the location.
  
• NEW - Reworked Fur - More performant and memory saving especially when multiple characters are around the player or in view, and in general scales better performance wise (+ a cute wind effect).
  
• (r29c) NEW - Logbook and Rumor tab - First pass of the rumor tab for logbook that lists various rumors you’ve heard while playing and keeps up to date with their exploration. The first pass only tracks the first few steps in the game however, and will be updated to cover all the other things later on! Press L or J to open it.
  
• (r29c) Added new rumor for Kess pointing towards the Gut Island for Ful Spirit.
  
• (r29c) Added a “rumor marker” for Dewseed Tribe after talking to Kort.

• (r29b) Added pressing E to close open containers.
  
• Added a label to faelain dart boxes in the world.
  
• Improved Player location arrow; Instead of just pointing where the player is, the arrow now points to where the player is facing at the location. It also should update faster now, instead of popping to place after a second or so.
  
• Improved shadow performance slightly by culling out distance shadow casters faster.
  
• (r29c) Fixed incorrectly placed “Footwarmer” in Showroom categories.
  
• (r29c) Fixed Ful Spirit introduction conversation looping.

• Fixed missing collisions in sea borne junk on Kizan Ashens.
  
• Fixed collision on abandoned house ruins on Skiia.
  
• Fixed stair collisions near abandoned mines on Skiia.
  
• (r29c) Modding: Added support for running acts without act locators (will automatically place act locator in the spot of the NPC) which makes testing faster, but generally you’ll want to manually place an act locator for more accuracy or better placement.
  
• Modding: Added support for overriding built in characters to be playable or showroomable.
  
• (r29c) Modding: Fixed issue with modded built in characters unable to use reserved for crew/follower patterns.
  
• (r29c) Modding: Fixed cross species penis issue in animations.
  
• (r29c) Modding: Some merely informational messages now require the Modding Tools option in Gameplay to be enabled in your options, otherwise they will not be logged.
